This post stands forlorn, waiting for its services to be needed to proclaim some message as yet unimagined.

Back to my trip to Queensland for a while.
Day two in Brisbane and have three nights stay then back to New Zealand. August 9, 2014 Queensland, Australia.
Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia. The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, approximately 15 kilometres from its mouth at Moreton Bay.
Brisbane is named after the Brisbane River on which it is located, which in turn was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. The first European settlement in Queensland was a penal colony at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres north of the central business district, which was founded in 1824. That settlement was soon abandoned and moved to North Quay in 1825. Free settlers were permitted from 1842. Brisbane was chosen as the capital when Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from New South Wales in 1859.
Prior to European settlement, the Brisbane area was inhabited by the Turrbal and Jagera people. They knew the area that is now the central business district as Mian-jin, meaning "place shaped as a spike".

The Hotel zur Post, the "hotel garni" (bed-and-breakfast inn) we stayed at in Bacharach. Clean, quiet, and comfortable.

A Coal Tax post, No. 217, type 1 granite block. Seen on the Thames bank to the West of Dartford Creek at Crayford Ness. This is the most Easterly post.
These were set up around London in the 1860s to collect duties on coal. The tax was payable to the City of London whose influence reached far beyond the square mile. The boundary was the Metropolitan Police area, and is very close to the Greater London boundary today.
In the background the flood barrier on the River Darent.
I was approached by a film company because they wanted to use my Delica while shooting a short film set in the near future.
They asked me to make it look as 'Post Apocalyptic' as possible. I did my best!
Fliming took place in South London on an abandoned/dereclict housing estate. A massive place with 2000+ apartments all empty. Quite eery!
I took these shots just after filming had finished and the crew had gone home. It made for a nice setting.

If I recall right, there was a sixth panel that I wasn't able to photograph.
Here's the artist's obituary from 2003, courtesy of the Associated Press:
Artist Richard Zoellner, known for his New Deal murals, abstract paintings and prints, died Thursday at his home in Tuscaloosa. He was 94.
His work is included in the permanent collections of some major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.
A native of Portsmouth, Ohio, Zoellner graduated from the Cincinnati Art Academy. He studied in New York City and Mexico as a recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation scholarship.
From 1933 to 1942 he maintained his own studio in Cincinnati and received a number of public and private commissions as part of the U.S. Treasury Section of Fine Arts, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal administration.
His commissions included murals for the U.S. Post Offices in Cleveland, Georgetown, Hamilton, Medina, and Portsmouth, Ohio; and Mannington, W. Va. Other commissions included paintings for U.S. Marine hospitals and murals for the Cincinnati Zoo.
His paintings and sculpture-like prints were known for their energy and vibrant application of color and pattern. He served for 33 years on the University of Alabama's art faculty, retiring in 1978.
In 1992, at 84, he exhibited 15 critically acclaimed new works of art inspired by a trip to the Yucatan peninsula and the architecture of its Mayan ruins.
Survivors include his wife, Willita Skelton Goodson Zoellner; his son, David Zoellner; a stepson, artist Nathan Goodson of Tuscaloosa; and grandchildren.
In April 2020 despite local protest the Post Office was franchised. It was suddenly closed when the staff resigned due to lack of support from the new management.
This notice was taped to the front door!

Ever since i can remember, i have been (religiously) going for the Mahashtami anjali.
This is me with my aunt looking pretty happy as we barely managed the anjali - there are batches for doing this and we were on the last one..phew!
Lamp post in the Suburbs. I wanted to retake one of my earlier shots but with the lamp post lights turned on. I'm not sure if I like this one better but I think in general, when one looks at a light, they want to know what it looks like when it's lit up. So here it is.
