Government House is the official residence of the governor of Western Australia, situated in the central business district of Perth, the state capital. It was built between 1859 and 1864, in the Jacobean Revival style.
Government House is located on St Georges Terrace (Perth's main thoroughfare), sitting on the same block as Council House and the Supreme Court buildings. The site has been used by governors since the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829; the current building is the third to have served that purpose on the site. The buildings and gardens of Government House are of exceptional heritage significance, being listed on the Western Australian Register of Heritage Places and classified by the National Trust. They are regularly opened for public viewing.
Description
The building is a two-storey mansion designed by Edmund Henderson in the early Stuart or Jacobean Revival style, set on 32,000 square metres (7.9 acres) of English gardens in the centre of the Perth business district, between St George's Terrace and the Swan River. The unique architectural character of the building is characterised by the use of stonework and bonded brickwork, incorporating square mullioned windows, decorated gables and ogival capped turrets. The attenuated gothic arcading at ground floor level derives from another form of Victorian Revival expression Fonthill Gothic. The building has 16 rooms on the ground floor and 25 on the first floor. According to the Western Australian Register of Heritage Places Assessment, Government House is a "unique example of a Victorian Gentleman's residence" set in landscaped gardens with mature plantings and a number of commemorative trees.

People who know me well know I hate these birds. They have attacked me on multiple occasions when approaching abanonded factories and they also crap everywhere. This group was busy cackling at scrappers who were next door doing their thing. They think they own the place LOL.
The Dutch masterpieces gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was buzzing with excitement. The security guard seemed to have her eyes on me as I studied "Girl With a Pearl Earring". Suddenly the guard walked toward me with a stern expression, but instead of telling me to step back from the painting, she asked if I had the time. As soon as I said, "it's 3:05," another guard came and took her place. I guess it was time for a break.
the best reuse of bike forks ... ever, I bet !!! ... (window security bars ... hmm. maybe bike handlebars welded together? ... )
A 14-year-old Komodo dragon participated in target training practice this morning with keepers at the San Diego Zoo. Keepers will show the Komodo dragon, named Sunny, a target that the dragon is learning to walk over and respond to. After completing the behavior, keepers reward Sunny with a special treat to positively reinforce the behavior.
Keepers working with Sunny have trained him to wear a harness during these training sessions. They can safely attach a portable action camera to it to film the training from the Komodo dragons point of view. This allows staff to review the sessions and it gives insight into how Sunny sees the training.
Komodo dragons are the largest living lizards in the world. They can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh up to 176 pounds.
