Penola Foresters’ Lodge
Following the foundation of the Foresters’ Lodge Penola Branch in 1862, land was eventually purchased in 1871 and this building was opened 10 September 1873.
As membership declined the hall was used by other organisations and churches until the property was sold in 1960 to A & C Davis and used as a tyre and battery sales area.
Beaurepaires bought the business and premises in 1984 and occupied it until 2000.
Penola Branch National Trust South Australia purchased the building in 1994 and sold it to L V Dohnt & Co in 2001.

*Penola Opening of the Foresters’ Hall
The new Hall is situated in Arthur Street, opposite the Institute and Presbyterian Church, and consists at present of the Court room, 22 x 23, and two smaller rooms in front, with wide passage. The front is an unpretending one but being not quite finished as regards the cement dressings, does not present so good an appearance as it ultimately will.
The front of the hall had been decorated with evergreens, flowers, and flags, in the arrangement of which POR Brewster's tasteful hand was evident. The interior was well filled with seats for all comers, and the Court Dispensation Board, some pictures of the Order, and some flags, served to give a pretty and neat effect. I observed the ancient banner of the Foresters there, which had evidently seen some severe service.
At four o'clock the Brothers assembled at their old Court, and, headed by the Penola Band, marched down Alfred Street, where they were joined by the Rechabites, thence up Arthur Street to the main road, where the members of the Loyal Penola Lodge of Oddfellows kindly headed the procession. The principal streets in the township were marched through.
When the head of the Procession reached the hall the Brethren opened out in two lines, through which the Building Committee, Mr Riddoch, and others marched. On reaching the Hall door Mr Riddoch was presented with the key and requested by the Committee to open the Hall, which he did, and all passed in.
The Chairman (Mr G Riddoch) then said : Gentlemen I am very proud to be placed in the position I now occupy.
In declaring this hall, erected by the Brethren of Court Benevolence No. 3,811 of the Ancient order of Foresters open, I must express a fervent hope that it will be the means of more firmly establishing the Court, as well as doing much good to the Brotherhood.
The site on which the Hall stands was bought about two years ago and the cost was £72 12s. The architect for the present building is Mr T H Artaud, and the builders are Messrs Blyth and Harris, for the masonry, Messrs J & J Riddoch, for the carpenters' work, and Mr C Smith, for the plastering, the amount of these contracts being £323 13s 9d., and I am proud to be able to tell you that this amount with the exception of a few pounds, has been paid, but we anticipate that when the hall is fenced in and properly finished that the expenditure will be altogether about £450.
The Dinner took place at the Royal Oak Hotel. Of course every one expected to see a good muster, but the expectations were more than realized, and when 50 had turned up, and the cry was “still they come," the worthy host began to scratch his head.
The partitions between the rooms had to come down, other tables were provided, and in about a quarter of an hour every one was able to commence. The muster was the largest ever seen at Penola, 72 being seated at the table.
The Ball was held at the Institute Hall. There were about 88 couples present, and the ladies turned out in full force and beauty. The night was spent in dancing.
The Supper was held at the new Hall.

Foto tirada no minha primeira e unica visita ao Parque do Ibirapuera. Realmente é um lugar maravilhoso e inspirador, que rendeu algumas fotos legais.
In Rome, a woman leans out from a window. The sun strikes the facade and her face as she notices the camera and keeps looking back. What could have been a passing instant turns into a lasting exchange.
As we traversed the dark forest trail, making our way toward the witch-house, we stumbled across an intricate stone circle inlaid into the ground. Its perimeter, carved with runes and sigils, encircling a large pentagram in the center.
Before we could get close enough to the stone circle to investigate it, the air above it crackled with an preternatural energy then a nearly blinding, blue light flashed and a loud thunderclap ensued, as a portal to another world was brutally ripped open into our reality. A shock wave of intense cold and bone-chilling energy struck us both throwing us to the ground. We were both briefly dazed and confused.
Having recovered a few moments later and re-gathering our wits, we crouched behind a nearby sepulcher, observing from a hidden vantage point as a processional of monks shimmered into this world from the mist and came into view. They floated wistfully over the stone circle, plying around it but never straying beyond its boundary. An array of red candles hung gauntly in the are, beacons of power in the night, also rotating above around the circle, orbiting within it.
Spectral, tortured souls, the Monks began chanting a somber, mournful lament. The sheer power and sorrow of the lament brought tears, streaming from us both of as an intense sadness gripped us both. This dour dirge surrounded us, permeated us, gripping onto our very souls, squeezing and contorting them.
We were mesmerised and terrified at the same time. Frozen, unable to move, reluctant to even take a breath, caught in the soulfully sad power of the unfolding scene we both felt as though we just wanted to die.
When we finally did take a breath the overbearing Eldritch Cold radiating from this ominous scene was so intense ice crystals formed in our trachea, our lungs. The shock of it was stifling.
Only then did we realize that we were caught in the grip of this unfolding scene. The strength of the intense cold and the morose cacophony was sapping our energy, our life force, our will to survive. I slapped Dexter across the cheek forcefully to break him free from the enchantment. With a sudden dash into the night we both expended every ounce of our remaining energy to escape the powerful dark grip of the Monks' foreboding processional, lest we succumbed to it's' supernatural snare, running fast as we could from the mournful, circular, eternal procession. A scene that must have played out hundreds of times since the intricate stones of the "trap" were set. We dashed away, into the darkness of night, not knowing what other foul surprises awaited us and both collapsed into the tall grass and into each others' arms when the warmth of the October night returned to our surroundings, listening to singing of the crickets, the grasshoppers and the occasional owl.
We could hear the Monks wailing, shrieking in the night as we left, their souls writhing in agony as we broke their powerful hold upon our souls. Suddenly there was another thunderous clap from that direction, then silence. We survived. Just barely.
It took several hours for the feeling of intense sadness, the desire to die to leave our souls. Slowly as we both lay there in the tall grass and in each other's arms our inner strength also returned to us, re-invigorating our bodies. Only then did we continue our journey toward the Witch House. The midnight hour of Samhain was almost upon us....
I checked the flashlight and Dexter checked his, to our amazement they both still worked. We setoff, traveling further down the trail, seemingly a much worse decision than when we first set out on our journey. We couldn't help ourselves though. Our curiosity about the grim monolith drove us forward. The power of the Witch House seemed to be compelling us to continue deeper into this dark, tangled, tormented lair. I began to wonder if we would survive this journey.
A little passage for your halloween entertainment in the style of H.P. Loveraft. Hope you enjoyed it !!!
Hervey Bay /ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia. The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.
Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.

I thought of people flying on this airliner... did they know they had, while keeping on this southerly course, already stepped into the
Solar eclipse's 'Twilight Zone'? Probably they did... The attentive crew kept them informed, perhaps. Did some of them have means to safely observe the phenomenon? Or, if they didn't, maybe, the flight attendants of whatever airline it was, had offered them some makeshift devices to enjoy the Nature's show? Who knows..
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. AN AMAZING QUOTE FROM Jalal ad-Din Rumi.

Kaida had known Imiku longer than the other Toa Kumai. She aided him in his visits to Ta-Metru when he learned the mask making process. Kaida worked as engineer at the great furnace and was extremely proud of her craft. Very often she would be easily annoyed by Imiku's antics but she continued to observe his progress as a mask maker. Despite her smaller size, Kaida boasts more of her power and prowess than all the other Toa of her team.

What I like about street photography is the randomness of people and their action. You will never know what you are going to see. Sometimes its nice to just stand in one corner and observe every movement around you. Everytime I look at every moment through the viewfinder, random thoughts come into your mind, and it create stories.
You get different reactions, good and bad, from people when they notice you are pointing the camera at them. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a stalker watching every movement a person makes. But, I guess this what you get and what you sometimes feel when you are into street photography.

I really really cleaned my room. Organized the closet, organized my dresser and all the drawers, did a big pile of laundry, dusted, vacuumed.
It is now cleaner and more organized in my bedroom than it has been all year. Basically in preparation of the final month of bar hell/studying/angst. :) Well, and it needed to be done in any case. I feel accomplished.
