Beachcomberaustralia pointed out two images of that seem to be a separated stereo pair depicting the Sydney G.P.O.: Image A and Image B. This is good news if correct. At first glance it the conclusion is uncertain because each covers a different field of view (image B is slightly wider) suggesting they come from an oddly calibrated stereo camera, which normally uses lenses with similar field of view, or that different cameras were used simultaneously. Also, image A has a watermark (lower left) that is seems an unlikely component of the original negative (the silver is not scratched off as one might expect for the era). Superposition and manipulation gave the image below.
The great distance to the subject combined with relatively low resolution scan eliminates the superposition differences one might expect when comparing views of a near object in front of a far object. This gives the feeling that the image is being stretched horizontally. I have not found references indicating stereograms were intentionally made with different fields of view, perhaps to increase perceived parallax. It is possible that a stereo camera was used, in this instance, to frame two different images with the intention of selecting the best one for a traditional print.
The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia offers a multitude of historical images in the Flickr commons. The original images of G.P.O. Sydney (undated) and General Post Ofice, Sydney (circa 1900) are from the Tyrrell photographic collection.
Technical trivia
Image A was arbitrarily assigned as the right frame and image B was the left. Rotation (L -1.5 degrees), resizing (L +1.4%; R -1.3%) and automatic color correction (right frame used as reference) produced the stereograph which was registered using features of the clock tower as the point of congruence. Both images were resized because resizing one image changes its apparent sharpness relative to the unaltered photo. Some distortion remains uncorrected.

St Mary, Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire
A huge church, the biggest in the area (though not as big as several just over the border in Hertfordshire). Unlike the church at Steeple Morden, this has a huge steeple on top of its limestone tower, which must be a bit confusing for strangers. I expected a mundane restoration inside, but it was lovely, very atmospheric. The rood screen is extraordinary, with two chapels about seven feet deep either side of the central walkway. Can it really be original? Splendid, anyway. And a splendid church.

Montblanc Bohème Moongarden:
Ambrose Lancaster / 18th July 2015
A watch with a moon phase indicator is a very familiar pattern, but Moongarden by Montblanc does something different. It also displays the name of each month’s full moon name, from Ice moon and Snow moon through to Harvest, Hunter and Oak moon (scroll down to read all the lunar month names and meanings). So Montblanc have modified the usual moon phase module, with its approximate period of 29.5 days for a lunar month, so that in addition to the moon phase, the watch also shows the name of the current lunar month, read off next to a small crescent moon on the dial. It’s an unfamiliar concept, and it is based on Native American (the Native Americans themselves prefer the term First Nation) culture. Many Native American tribes used the lunar cycles to keep track of time, giving a name to each lunar month. Their year consisted of 12 or 13 moons, sometimes adding an extra moon every few years to keep the cycle in correspondence with tha actual seasons. The watch, an extension of the Bohème line launched in 2014, was presented – along with the other new piece Montblanc Bohème Day & Night – at an event held in the Tuileries gardens in Paris, with CEO Jérome Lambert and brand ambassadors Charlotte Casiraghi and Gwen Lun Mei.
Case and Strap:
The watch has a red gold case, 36 mm in diameter, 10.74 mm thick, with bezel set with 78 fine Wesselton diamonds, and caseback with a transparent sapphire window revealing the movement. The crown is set with a Montblanc diamond, a brand patent, with the gem cut in the shape of the Montblanc star. The strap is interesting, because the link between strap and watch has been designed with a simple push-opening system so that the user can easily change it depending on her preference or outfit. There is a black alligator strap and a two-colour calf leather strap in different colours: grey and pastel blue (supplied with the steel version), dark brown and khaki (supplied with the red gold version), yellow and blue, nude and white. The watch has a 30 metre water resistance rating.
Movement:
The modified moon phase module running the lunar month indicator of the Montblanc Bohème Moongarden was developed at the watch manufacture in Villeret, Montblanc’s Movement & Innovation Excellence Centre. The lunar month function is adjusted using a pusher on the case side. The names of all the moon months are engraved on the back of the dial, to help the user set the watch. The movement is the calibre MB 29.17, 25 jewels, running at 28,800 vph (4 Hertz), made by an external supplier and with an added complication designed and made by Montblanc. It is self-winding, with a power reserve of about 42 hours.
Price and Availability:
The Montblanc Bohème Moongarden is already available in Montblanc bouiques. Its price is €11,900 for the 18k red gold version, reference 112554, and €6,500 for the stainless steel version, reference 112555. The lunar moons as detailed by Montblanc:
January: Ice Moon
The cold and deep snows of midwinter
February: Snow Moon
Usually the heaviest snows fall in February. Hunting becomes very difficult. Better to stay in a warm home.
March: Chaste Moon
Virtuous words and actions, together with clear and pure intents, symbolize the Chaste Moon. Purity in this sense indicates a lunar strength, free from imperfection and things that hinder, impair, and weaken it-an energetic strength.
April: Seed Moon
This name came from the wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring.
May: Bright Moon
In most areas, flowers and sun are abundant everywhere during this time. The moon is also particularly bright and long in the sky.
June: Dyan Moon
Dyan represents the pinnacle of life and used here to reference Midsummer’s Night with the longest day.
July: Rose Moon
This full Moon heralded the appearance of the moss pink and has the color of a rose strawberry.
August: Red Moon
The August’s full moon is referred to as the red moon for the reddish hue it often takes on in the summer haze.
September: Fruit Moon
Farmers work late into the night by the light of the Moon to pick fruits in trees.
October: Harvest Moon
The full Moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. It can occur in either September or October. At this time, crops such as corn, pumpkins, squash, and wild rice are ready for gathering.
November: Hunter Moon
This is the month when the leaves are falling and the game is fattened. Now is the time for hunting and laying in a store of provisions for the long winter ahead.
December: Oak Moon
The oak is a symbol of strength and eternity. The gathering of mistletoe from the oak trees was on the sixth day of the full Moon. The mistletoe could only be cut with a golden sickle in the shape of the Moon’s crescent.

Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).

Red silk paper box scroll card - Ravishing and romantic, the color red is here to cast a spell on you. This red colored handmade silk paper scroll card is a real treat of opulence. The golden design bars that frame the card add a touch of glitter to it. A golden ribbon ties the box envelope.
Edited Japanese scroll titled Hungry. I'm not entirely sure of the reference especially given the monsters depicted.
