Works in underway in January 2017 around Murrumbeena station as part of a grade separation package between Hughesdale and Carnegie stations with the controversial 'Skyrail' treatment - elevating the line on an single continuous viaduct though the area.

 

The station opened in 1879 with the name adopted from the Aboriginal 'mirambeena' whose meaning is now uncertain.

 

At this stage the platforms remain in use with buildings removed along with the station's distinctive footbridge and temporary blue hoardings and shelters installed. Temporary low profile overhead structures have been installed to accommodate the viaducts going either side of the existing tracks replacing the original lattice structures from the early 1920's.

Set of 6 graphics for rezlife's summer camp 2008. The thematic for summer camp is based around God's story, highlighting 6 different movements- Creation, Separation, People of promise, God With Us, Death to Life and The Church.

 

Each of the movements has a generic slide, (foreground) an illustration slide (middle) and a blank for scriptures, points, etc. (background)

 

The drawings and thematic were developed by Sonlife for YouthFront, which runs the summer camp that rezlife utilizes.

 

I found all the pictures at Stock Exchange and processed them fairly heavily in Photoshop. Youthfront's look as of late has kind of had that vintage vibe going on, so I brought that over into these pieces.

 

I also made a quick bumper for each of the themes. You can view those here.

Palais Niederösterreich Austria

Palais of Lower Austria, formerly known as the Lower Austrian Landhaus (former Gouvernment building of the Austrian State Niederösterreich)

The Palais Lower Austria is a building in Vienna. It is located in the city center, Herrengasse 13

Meaning

It got its name by renaming the Lower Austrian Landhaus in September 2005.

Before St. Pölten became the capital of Lower Austria was here the parliament of this country, and before that it was the seat of its estates. Here the Erbhuldigungen (the act of the Hereditary Homage) of the Austrian archdukes took place and it is also a place for important events in Austrian history.

The by the province of Lower Austria owned palace Niederösterreich is now used as a kind of "Embassy" of the country in the federal capital.

History

Renaissance portal, 1571

Architectural History

The Lower Austrian Landhaus before the rebuilding at the end of the 1830s

The formerly Liechtensteinsche house was purchased in 1513 of the Estates to be as political representative in the vicinity of the Prince. The building in many sections was transformed and expanded by later additions and enlargements. The Estates bought the stones themselves, inter alia, Burgschleinitzer stone, now called Zogelsdorfer stone, and for the stairs to the council office stairway scale of hard stain from Leythaberg, thus, hard Kaiserstein from Kaisersteinbruch, so wrote Hans Saphoy in an invoice. These steps present themselves today as built in "yesterday". He arched-in around 1570 the a great courtroom. From the Renaissance period the Landhaus chapel, the Gothic room and a portal are preserved. This portico of 1571 consists of a Ädikulaaufsatz (aediculae attachment) in relief, on it two knights with Archduke hats and five eagle coat of arms or barred shield of the coat of arms union of Old and Neuösterreich (New Austria). From an antique-style head sculpture in the pediment and lateral female figures with cornucopias. In red Adnet marble the year 1571 was etched.

The boardroom was later configured baroque, among other things, in 1710 with a fresco by Antonio Beduzzi, which is the largest contiguous ceiling painting in Austria. It shows "Austria", which before the Divine Providence pending is glorified. The painting is decorated with Flussallegorien (river allegories) (Sebethos, Danube, Po, Rhine, Save, Tajo, Elbe, Rio de la Plata) representing, illusionist stucco frame surrounded vault frescoes. This new stucco marble decor and wall panels created in 1710 Balthasar Haggenmüller. Equally baroque is also the judicial throne in the Knight's hall, which Claude Le Fort du Plessy is attributed. Knight's Hall, Lords Hall and Prelate's Hall were designed by the cathedral architect Leopold Ernst 1845/46.

Due to the many conversions and connecting buildings with added neighboring houses, the building made ​​in the early 19th Century a very inconsistent impression. The last reconstruction therefore was aimed to give the building under preservation the older buildings a unified facade, which was 1837-1839 carried out by Alois Ludwig Pichl, a student of Nobile. This facade with its characteristic colossal columns is considered an important example of the classicism in Vienna.

Use until 20 Century

Diet stairs

In the 16th Century the Landhaus was a cultural and religious center of the at that time majoritarian Protestant Lower Austrian nobility and the Lutheran-minded Viennese citizens. This feature disappeared with the Counter-Reformation. On 13 March 1848 the Landhaus became the starting point of the revolution as citizens and students forced the Lower Austrian estates to support a petition to the Emperor, in which a constitution as well as freedom of press and freedom of assembly were demanded (see Lajos Kossuth and Adolf Fischhof).

In 1861 overtook the now at the place of the Estates steping in Lower Austrian Landtag the building. The Herrenhaus, the House of Lords of the Austrian Imperial Council, met provisionally from 1861-1883 in the building.

Political significance

Coat of arms

After the end of World War I took place on 21 October 1918 here the constitution of the Provisional National Assembly of the independent Austrian state.

By 1921 it was used for both the Lower Austrian together with the Vienna deputies. Since the secession of Lower Austria from Vienna in 1922 it was to 1997 the seat of the Lower Austrian Landtag, until the Diet by the relocation of the State government moved to the new capital St. Pölten.

In the autumn of 1945 a conference of State representatives took place here, where it was decided that the western provinces, too, the (originally only in the Soviet occupation zone effective) Renner government recognize what is regarded as constitutive of the Second Republic.

In 1995 the mayor of Vienna and Governor (of the state of Vienna) Michael Häupl and the Lower Austrian provincial Governor Erwin Pröll signed an agreement, in which Vienna by law of separation entitled for a half ownership of the Lower Austrian Landhaus transferred it to the province of Lower Austria.

As money equalization for this transfer of ownership Vienna got from the province of Lower Austria, among others, whose ownership interests in the Nursing home Klosterneuburg, at the

Danube Island North and at the Building of the District Administration Wien-Umgebung in the Alserbachstraße 41 transferred.

On Saturday 11 November, between 300,000 and 800,000 protesters marched from London's Hyde Park to the US Embassy in solidarity with Palestinians. Britain's Home Secretary Suella Braverman had insisted a few days earlier that all those marching to call for a ceasefire, compassion and justice were hate marchers and she pressured the police to ban it. Fortunately, common sense and the law prevailed, and the march was allowed to go ahead.

 

It was not just a reaction to the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, the escalating death toll and the blockade of essential supplies to the 2.3 million Palestinians living in the city and the surrounding strip.

 

It was also a determination to see an end to -

 

كما دعا المتظاهرون إلى إنهاء جميع العوامل الرئيسية التي تغذي الصراع.

 

1) An end to Palestinian suffering from 75 years of Israeli occupation. The Israeli occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip since 1967 is officially recognised by the United Nations and most of the world despite the fact that the occupation is often ignored or sometimes even denied by Western media. As Amnesty International reports Israeli occupation has resulted in "systematic human rights violations against Palestinians living there."

 

نهاية معاناة الفلسطينيين من 75 عاما من الاحتلال الإسرائيلي. إن الاحتلال الإسرائيلي للضفة الغربية والقدس الشرقية وقطاع غزة منذ عام 1967 معترف به رسميًا من قبل الأمم المتحدة ومعظم دول العالم على الرغم من أن وسائل الإعلام الغربية غالبًا ما يتم تجاهل الاحتلال أو حتى إنكاره في بعض الأحيان. وكما أفادت منظمة العفو الدولية، فإن الاحتلال الإسرائيلي قد أدى إلى "انتهاكات منهجية لحقوق الإنسان ضد الفلسطينيين الذين يعيشون هناك".

 

www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupa...

 

2) An end to Palestinians living under a highly restrictive Apartheid regime as recognised by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and War on Want. Across the West Bank Palestinians are banned from driving on numerous roads that cross the region and as War on Want explains "Jewish Israelis and Palestinians are treated differently in almost every aspect of life: housing, education, health, employment, family life, residence and freedom of movement. Dozens of Israeli laws and policies institutionalise this prevailing system of racial discrimination and domination."

 

وضع حد للفلسطينيين الذين يعيشون في ظل نظام فصل عنصري شديد التقييد كما اعترفت به منظمة العفو الدولية وهيومن رايتس ووتش ومنظمة الحرب على العوز. في جميع أنحاء الضفة الغربية، يُمنع الفلسطينيون من القيادة على العديد من الطرق التي تعبر المنطقة، وكما توضح مؤسسة "الحرب على العوز" الخيرية، "يتم التعامل مع اليهود الإسرائيليين والفلسطينيين بشكل مختلف في كل جانب من جوانب الحياة تقريبًا: السكن والتعليم والصحة والتوظيف والأسرة". الحياة والإقامة وحرية التنقل.. عشرات القوانين والسياسات الإسرائيلية تضفي الطابع المؤسسي على هذا النظام السائد من التمييز العنصري والسيطرة.

 

waronwant.org/news-analysis/israeli-apartheid-factsheet?g...

 

3) An end to restrictions on movement. Across the West Bank there are some 650 Israeli military checkpoints through which only some Palestinians are allowed to pass, often with humiliating questioning and delays, so that they can travel to other towns whether to visit families, seeking medical treatment or for any other reason. In Gaza, travel is even more difficult and only a tiny minority with work permits have been allowed to cross the border - the rest have to remain in what is often described as the world's largest open air prison - the densely populated Gaza strip housing some 2.3 million people.

 

إنهاء القيود المفروضة على الحركة. يوجد في جميع أنحاء الضفة الغربية حوالي 650 نقطة تفتيش عسكرية إسرائيلية لا يُسمح إلا لبعض الفلسطينيين بالمرور من خلالها، مع استجواب وتأخير مهين، حتى يتمكنوا من السفر إلى مدن أخرى سواء لزيارة عائلاتهم أو طلب العلاج الطبي أو لأي سبب آخر. وفي غزة، يعد السفر أكثر صعوبة ولم يُسمح إلا لأقلية صغيرة من حاملي تصاريح العمل بعبور الحدود - أما الباقون فيجب أن يبقوا في ما يوصف في كثير من الأحيان بأنه أكبر سجن مفتوح في العالم - وهو قطاع غزة المكتظ بالسكان والذي يضم حوالي 2.3 نسمة. مليون شخص.

 

3) An end to the 16 years of siege imposed by Israel on Gaza which means that around 56% of children were suffering from anemia and only 4% had access to safe drinking water even before the outbreak of conflict this month.

 

إنهاء الحصار الذي تفرضه إسرائيل على غزة منذ 16 عاماً. ويعني الحصار أن حوالي 56% من الأطفال كانوا يعانون من فقر الدم وأن 4% فقط كانوا يحصلون على مياه الشرب الآمنة حتى قبل اندلاع النزاع هذا الشهر.

4) The never ending process of Israeli expansion across Palestinian land, including the demolition of 55,000 Palestinian homes since 1967, occurring on a near monthly basis as well as the cutting down of fields of olive trees and the ploughing up of Palestinian farms to make room for yet more illegal settlements subsidised by the Israeli government.

 

These settlements are illegal under international law, which rightly recognises the 1967 border. However, since 1967, Israel has constructed 250 of them across the West Bank in which over 633,000 Israelis live in subsidised and often luxurious housing with swimming pools and manicured lawns, an unimaginable privilege to the vast majority of Palestinians.

 

وضع حد للتوسع الإسرائيلي الذي لا ينتهي عبر الأراضي الفلسطينية، بما في ذلك هدم 55.000 منزل فلسطيني منذ عام 1967، والذي يحدث على أساس شهري تقريبًا، فضلاً عن قطع حقول أشجار الزيتون وحراثة المزارع الفلسطينية. وترتكب هذه الجرائم ضد الفلسطينيين لإفساح المجال أمام إقامة المستوطنات الإسرائيلية غير القانونية التي تدعمها الحكومة الإسرائيلية

ومن الواضح أن المستوطنات غير قانونية بموجب القانون الدولي، الذي يعترف بحق بحدود عام 1967. ومع ذلك، منذ عام 1967، شيدت إسرائيل 250 منها في جميع أنحاء الضفة الغربية، حيث يعيش أكثر من 633 ألف إسرائيلي في مساكن مدعومة وفاخرة في كثير من الأحيان مع حمامات سباحة ومروج مشذبة، وهو امتياز لا يمكن تصوره لجميع الفلسطينيين تقريبًا.

5) Never ending acts of settler terrorism against Palestinians. Western media rightly condemns occasional Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians, including the appalling atrocities committed by Hamas on 7 October. However, for years illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank have staged attacks against Palestinians, sometimes motivated sheerly by hatred, but often by the desire to inflict terror and to ethnically cleanse an area. The most recent incident was an attack on Wednesday 11 October in which masked settlers killed three Palestinian villagers and then killed a Palestinian father and son attending the funeral the next day.

 

وضع حد لأعمال الإرهاب التي يمارسها المستوطنون ضد الفلسطينيين. وتدين وسائل الإعلام الغربية عن حق الهجمات الفلسطينية العرضية على المدنيين الإسرائيليين، بما في ذلك الفظائع المروعة التي ارتكبتها حماس في 7 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر. ومع ذلك، ظل المستوطنون الإسرائيليون غير الشرعيين في الضفة الغربية لسنوات يشنون هجمات ضد الفلسطينيين، بدافع الكراهية في بعض الأحيان، ولكن في كثير من الأحيان بسبب التصميم على ترويع الفلسطينيين وتطهيرهم عرقيًا من منطقة ما. وكانت آخر الحوادث هي الهجوم الذي وقع يوم الأربعاء 11 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر، حيث قتل مستوطنون ملثمون ثلاثة قرويين فلسطينيين ثم قتلوا أبًا فلسطينيًا وابنه كانا يحضران الجنازة في اليوم التالي.

6) The division of Palestinian land by the separation wall. The 708 km Separation Wall, completed in 2005, was supposedly built to protect Israel from any Palestinians that might be able to enter the country without permission, but 85% of it runs up to 18 km inside the internationally recognised 1967 boundary ("Green Line"), frequently dividing Palestinians villagers from their farmland as well as running through the middle of farms and dividing arable land from key water supplies.

 

Some 10% of the West Bank now lies between the wall and the 1967 border, an area into which everyone, except Palestinians, is allowed entry. Not surprisingly, the International Court of Justice has issued an advisory opinion that the separation wall is a contravention of international law and in 2003 the UN General Assembly passed a resolution demanding its removal by 144 votes to just 4. Analysts also fear that the wall acts as a de facto annexation of all the Palestinian land that lies to the west of it.

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_West_Bank_barrier

 

7) The myth of Palestinian rejectionism. Western mainstream media usually maintains falsely that it is Palestinians that have constantly rejected a two-state solution, whereas the opposite is the case. Arab states and the Palestinians have frequently made clear their willingness to negotiate a future two-state solution on the basis of the 1967 frontiers, while Israel is committed to preventing any such solution and continuing its territorial expansion.

 

As early as 1976, Egypt, Syria and Jordan presented a two-state solution resolution to the UN Security Council based on the 1967 Green Line (in accordance with the international consensus) but it was vetoed outright by the United States, even though Washington at the time publicly acknowledged the illegality of all Israeli settlements across the Palestinian West Bank. The same happened again in 1980.

 

Later in 1988, the PLO put forward their position in a declaration by the Palestinian National Council calling for a Palestinian state alongside Israel with guarantees of security to both countries. However in May 1989, Israel's Likud-Labour coalition government made it crystal clear that they would not accept an "additional" Palestinian state between Jordan and Israel, regardless of what Jordanians, Palestinians or the rest of the world might think. The founding charter of Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party still "flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan river."

8) The frequent killing by Israeli security forces of peaceful protesters, women, children, journalists and medics, including the assassination of renowned Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh in May last year. In the nine months of 2023 prior to 7 October, 248 Palestinians, 40 of them children, had been killed by Israeli soldiers, but these deaths attracted almost no attention in the Western media. Palestinian lives have always been very cheap.

9) The current refusal of Israel to allow any journalists into the Gaza Strip so they can see and report on, obviously at their own risk, the destruction and casualties and suffering of the civilian population.

 

10) An end to "administrative detentions" across the West Bank under which thousands of Palestinians have been detained without any right to be told under what charges they are being held, let alone any right to a free trial. As the Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem explains

 

"Administrative detention is incarceration without trial or charge, alleging that a person plans to commit a future offense. It has no time limit, and the evidence on which it is based is not disclosed. Israel employs this measure extensively and routinely, and has used it to hold thousands of Palestinians for lengthy periods of time. While detention orders are formally reviewed, this is merely a semblance of judicial oversight, as detainees cannot reasonably mount a defense against undisclosed allegations. Nevertheless, courts uphold the vast majority of orders."

 

www.btselem.org/topic/administrative_detention

 

11) An end to Israeli soldiers controlling access to and frequently preventing Muslims from visiting the Al Aqsa Mosque in Israeli occupied East Jerusalem [Al Quds], considered the third holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Medina. On several occasions, Israeli troops and/or police have also attacked worshippers using batons, stun grenades and tear gas, igniting understandable anger across the Islamic World. Radical Israeli settlers also sometimes enter under the protection of Israeli security forces and some also perform Jewish rituals in contravention of current agreements about non-Muslims being allowed in, but only as visitors.

Acrylic painting by Darren Stein

The much loved Kodachrome film was discontinued some years ago, and the final processing run was in 2010. Kodachrome film still turns up, but can no longer be processed in colour, it can however be developed as a black and white film. I decided to produce colour Kodachrome images by using the trichrome technique.

Trichrome photography involves taking three exposures of the same subject on black and white film. Each exposure is taken through a red, green or blue filter. These photos are then combined to produce a colour image. Three separate exposures could be taken with the same camera mounted on a tripod, though this would only be possible for static subjects, a purpose made camera with three lenses allows the 3 exposures to be made simultaneously.

The process was first used by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky over a hundred years ago, he used projectors with coloured filters to make a combined image, nowadays it can be done with photo editing software such as Photoshop.

Mtskheta and the junction of Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers as seen from the Jvari monastery

The atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how...

The clouds above opened up and let it out.

 

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere

When the water filled every hole.

And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,

Making islands where no island should go.

Oh no.

 

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.

I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.

The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been silenced forever more.

The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

It seems farther than ever before

Oh no.

 

I need you so much closer [x8]

I need you so much closer [x4]

So come on, come on [x4]

This little 1st year cub was definitely feeling "separation anxiety" He was obviously all alone, his mom nowhere to be seen or found. No telling what may have happened to her.

 

This cub was running up and down the tundra across the river from camp, desperately looking for his mother, sniffing the air, trying to find her scent.

 

Broke my heart. He did manage to find a dead salmon along the side of the river and hopefully in his short time on earth, he has learned skills he needs to survive the upcoming harsh winter he's about to face.

 

It was heartbreaking to watch him and not be able to help him. That is the only thing about nature that is hard to take. She can be so harsh and cruel at times.

Castle Garden (Vienna)

The Burggarten in Vienna

The castle garden is a public park at the Vienna Ring road.

History

Palm House

The interior of the Palm House

View over the pond to the Palm House

On the site there originally the suburban before Widmertor was located, since the 16th Century it was part of the glacis in front of the Vienna city wall. From 1637 lay there the Augustinian earthwork. After 1809 the Augustinian earthwork and Augustinian bastion were blown up by the French, only the bastion was rebuilt. 1817-1821 the Hornwerkskurtine (fortification complex) was further moved to the outside. On the in that way newly arised terrain behind the Augustinerbastei then the Kaisergarten, originally Hofgarten, was created. It was the private garden of the emperor. The separation from the Heldenplatz followed by a wall and an access ramp. The complex was like the People's Garden by Louis Gabriel Remy and Hofgärtner (Court gardener) Franz Antoine the Elder planned, however, under the personal participation of Kaiser Franz, who himself was a trained gardener. Special emphasis was put on novel plants, which is why foreign and domestic gardeners were contacted. Here also, there was later a transformation of Franz Antoine the Younger, however, in the form of an English landscape garden. 1863 the Hornwerkskurtine was demolished and the park towards the Ring road expanded, today's pond also being laid out. 1863-1865, also the enclosure of Moritz Löhr was set up. Because of the building of the New Hofburg, the garden from 1881 on the north side was reduced. In doing so the wall was removed.

In 1919, the complex was became accessible to the public and for a short time it was renamed into Garden of the Republic and finally into the Castle garden. Under the terrace in front of the Neue Burg 1988-1992 underground storage rooms for the Austrian National Library were created.

Today it is supervised by the Federal Gardens, a department of the Ministry of Life.

Buildings

Palm House: Ludwig von Remy originally here two glass houses had built, those from 1900 by the current Secessionist Palm House by Friedrich Ohmann were replaced. It lies parallel to Augustinerbastei and has a raised terrace. Today in the left wing the butterfly house with tropical plants and butterflies is located, the middle part is occupied by a café-restaurant.

Monuments

Franz-Stephan Monument: The monument of lead by Balthasar Ferdinand Moll was already created in 1781, stood originally in Paradeisgartl (small tomatoe garden) and was in 1819 with a new stone base in the Castle garden erected. It is the oldest equestrian statue of Vienna.

Mozart Monument: The monument of Laaser marble by Viktor Tilgner stood since 1896 on the Albertinaplatz and was in 1953 transferred to the park.

Franz-Joseph Memorial: 1904 Johannes Benk created a bronze statue for today's Theodor Körner command building in the 14th District. Josef Tuch made a replica, which originally stood in the city park of Wiener Neustadt (Lower Austria), but is located in the Castle garden since 1957.

Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara-Memorial: stone statue, created in 1928 by Hans Schwathe.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Abraham a Sancta Clara

Fountain

Hercules Fountain

Hercules Fountain: The figures of Hercules and the lions stem from the Esterhazy Park in the 6th District (approximately of 1770) and were placed in the middle of the pond in 1948.
