The broke down near St. Pauls, London just before sunset. After pushing it to the side of the road and calling the recovery man, I thought it was a great time to take a few shots with a perfectly valid reason for parking illegally! Haha... but I dared not venture far for fear of attracting the police. :-)
Race Night -- it was amazing watching these sailboats and the skill everyone displayed. It was most impressive!

Unfortunately I did not have a flash on my camera .....
MOUNT Gambier’s abandoned and vandalised old hospital site.
I was passing with a coworker and took a few snaps. The Hospital has just sold and the new owner is cleaning up.
The scap metal merchants invited us in for a closer look. We got rock star access to the entire site.
The 4.9ha property has been closed to the general public for about 13 years.
The ugly and derelict old Mount Gambier Hospital occupies a prime location with views in both directions
The empty shell of the hospital and the surrounding land was originally on-sold to Sky Towers Mount Gambier P/L . They've done little to the site in recent years, despite calls for the building to be demolished or redeveloped. Now it has a new owner.
The plan originally included demolition of part of the old hospital, and turning the remains of the building into luxury apartments. In a controversial move, they also hoped to build a six storey retirement village on the site and subdivide some of the land for a future housing blocks.
The old hospital had been private property since 1998
It is a magnet for vandalism, drug making, squatters and potential death. The Lake Terrace address was opened around 1969/1970 and closed about 1997.
Walking about the grounds, you find doors that open onto overgrowth, the paths are gone and literally you can't use the door.
We found Steam-driven sterilizer's (Smith and Co Steam driven sterilizer - made in Bromptom) - h.l. smith & co pty ltd
We also found Johns Perry Lifts. (This was a company that started out as Johns & Waygood, became Johns Perry, was purchased by Boral and then sold to Otis who shut it down to remove their major local competitor).
We also saw the remains of lift shafts, piping, dumb waiters and much more.
The building is still solid (Although the gaping holes to the floors many meters below are unsafe) and there has been calls for ghost tours.
One can only imagine the births, deaths, pain and joy the walls has seen.
On the lower ground floor you can still walk the maintenance tunnels following the huge pipes that feed the building.
You can climb to the very top of the structure and overlook Mt Gambier.
The floor stairwells are heavily graffitied. You can walk the doctors car pack, the ambulance bay and even look at the big furnace.
There might not be much to look at soon.
Whilst we had "Rock star" access, we had permission to be onsite that we could not abuse. I can't recommend you jump the fence for a look. The site is very dangerous and we did this on our own back without insurance.

Mount Gambier council buys old hospital

THE Mount Gambier City Council is now the proud owner of the dilapidated old hospital and wants the community to decide on the future of the site.
Mayor Steve Perryman yesterday confirmed that council clinched a $1.4m deal on Monday to secure the property, which was sold by receivers after former owners Boots and Partners experienced challenges with the site.
Mr Perryman said the Local Government body was "relieved" at finalising the purchase.
"All of council is relieved and excited - it hasn't been an easy path," he said.
"It has been a cause of frustration for council over many years - senior staff and council members have borne the brunt of community criticism over the site even though we haven't owned it."
Mr Perryman would not be drawn into commenting on any plans for the site, saying the future of the building was in the community's hands following a period of consultation.
"I want to make it very clear that council has no view at this point in time on what the future of the site will be," Mr Perryman said.
"From here we will work to seek the views of the community on the options of the site - it's fair to say there is a fair amount of research, investigation and discussion to be had on the options."
A decision on the site's future is expected to be reached in the first half of next year.
"I know a number of individual members of council are saying they've got an open mind and they really don't know," Mr Perryman said.
The abandoned site has been an ongoing saga for 13 years after the State Government sold the complex to private hands.
Mr Perryman assured the million dollar purchase would not lead to a rise in council rates.
"It's within councils finances to make the purchase and that's why it's important we have a thorough investigation in terms of the options that are available," he said, adding the deal was done without state or federal government assistance.
Other council projects such as the redevelopment of the rail land would be unaffected by the sale, Mr Perryman said.

A Southern Freight charges past the old Peerless Woolen Mills complex and through the grade crossing at McFarland Ave. in downtown Rossville, GA. Providing the power this day are Southern Railway Locomotives #s 630 and 4501.
Built in the early 20th century, the million square foot Peerless Mills complex was an active textile manufacturing site until the mid-1960s, employing as many as 3,000 people. The dormant factory complex is now quite run-down and has recently been auctioned for less than the cost of a small house. Although renovations and hazard remediation would certainly cost a fortune, here's hoping that the new owners can somehow find a way to preserve this important piece of the city's manufacturing history....and a great prop for a railroad photo!
Stormy day down at the beach. The clouds raced by and churned up the water a little. I did some black and white medium format as well, but blew a few frames struggling with my plunger trigger.
This shot was one of my favourites. I wanted to get closer, but I don't dare walk down the rocks when they are this slick. Too many slips and spills these days.
