This is one of the hand made ornaments that Sammy's mother made 48 years ago, and it, along with a couple dozen others that she made over the years, is still proudly hanging on our little Christmas tree, which she also bought for us 48 years ago, just weeks after our youngest son was born. Yes, we do believe in maintaining tradition around this household...

Yesterday we had a rare day out and we visited the Brisbane Powerhouse at New Farm, which in bygone times was actually the Brisbane City Council's New Farm Powerhouse that supplied power to Brisbane's long gone and longer lamented trams.

 

For many years it sat rusting and deteriorating, until someone with a bright idea got it accepted and it was turned into a performing arts venue. A lot of the building was torn down and the majority of the generation equipment including turbines, gensets and associated switchyard were ripped out. But the building which has had a remarkable transformation is not only a great performance space inside but still retains its bones and the odd bits and pieces including murals and also the odd unexpected humour which I will get too another time. Of course, it also has admin offices and a lot of artsy people suitably attired in black! Needless to say, we stood out as the old people who have bumbled in, just as we are and did!

 

It is open to the public to stroll around although this is the first time we have ever been inside despite how long it has been open. It also has lovely clean toilets (well, that's practical isn't it?), a great cafe and it sits on the Brisbane River with a fabulous outlook and is embraced by New Farm Park. It also has great shows.

 

I worked in the Electricity Department of the Brisbane City Council until it was morphed into a Queensland Government Board and late a Government Owned Enterprise and used to visit fellow staff in one of the outbuildings in my younger years but never got to see inside whilst the Powerhouse proper laid idle before the refurb. What a place with all that abandoned gear to have seen and indeed, taken some pictures of. But all is not lost, as I said much of its bones are still part of the new venue, rusting and/or deteriorating mysteriously for all to see and enjoy. The main performance space is in the old turbine hall. And here is just a little bit, a total unidentified electrical object or UEO. And it's not even live so if you should manage to reach out and thrust a finger in, you will live to tell the tale.

Εκτός από την καταπληκτική κουζίνα και το υπέροχο αρωματικό λευκό κρασί που μπορεί να απολαύσει κανείς, ο χώρος εσωτερικά θυμίζει ένα μικρό "μουσείο" με κάθε είδους παλιά αντικείμενα, σκεύη και παραδοσιακές ενδυμασίες που χορταίνουν και το μάτι σου.

 

Traditional tavern "KOTTANI"

Apart from the amazing cuisine and the wonderful aromatic white wine that can be enjoyed, the interior reminds of a small "museum" with all sorts of old objects, utensils and traditional costumes that satisfy your eyes too.

...the fascination of an old cottage lost in the countryside..old objects forgotten and covered by dust of time...the magic of the light coming through window... and old curtain ...

the mystery of lost old time...

 

Bohemian glass,

chiefly referred to as Bohemia crystal, is glass produced in the regions of Bohemia and Silesia, now parts of the Czech Republic. It has a centuries long history of being internationally recognised for its high quality, craftsmanship, beauty and often innovative designs. Hand-cut, engraved, blown and painted decorative glassware ranging from champagne flutes to enormous chandeliers, ornaments, figurines and other glass items are among the best known Czech exports and immensely popular as tourist souvenirs. The Czech Republic is home to numerous glass studios and schools attended by local and foreign students.

 

Oldest archaeological excavations of glass-making sites date to around 1250 and are located in the Lusatian Mountains of Northern Bohemia. Most notable Czech sites of glass-making throughout the ages are Skalice (German: Langenau), Jablonec nad Nisou, Železný Brod, Poděbrady, Karlovy Vary, Kamenický Šenov (German: Steinschönau) and Nový Bor (German: Haida). Several of these towns have their own glass museums with many items dating since around 1600. Jablonec nad Nisou in particular is famous for the local tradition of manufacturing glass costume jewellery. Its long history is documented by large collections in the Museum of Glass and Jewellery in Jablonec nad Nisou.

CANZONE DELLA PIU' ALTA TORRE

 

Oziosa giovinezza a tutto asservita, per delicatezza ho perduto la mia vita.

Ah, venga il tempo in cui i cuori s'innamorino!

 

Mi sono detto: Lascia, e non ti si veda. E senza la promessa delle gioie più alte, nulla t'arresti, augusto ritiro.

 

O mille vedovanze della sì povera anima, che ha soltanto l'immagine della Nostra Signora: si prega la Vergine Maria?

 

Ho tanto pazientato che per sempre oblio; timori e sofferenze si sono involati per i cieli. E la sete malsana oscura le mie vene.

 

Così la prateria abbandonata all'oblio; ingrandita e fiorita d'incenso e di loglio; al ronzio feroce di cento sudicie mosche.

 

Oziosa giovinezza a tutto asservita, per delicatezza ho perduto la mia vita.

 

Ah, venga il tempo in cui i cuori s'innamorino!

 

(Arthur Rimbaud)

 

****Una delle poche volte che ho usato il flash (anche se oscurato a metà)****

 

A collection of old objects and this wonderful Chevrolet 1942 pickup truck I had discovered at a local nursery. The chevy has been converted into an aviary, which I thought was rather original. ;-)
