Here is a closer look at the structure of my current Disruptor Class Carrier SHIP WIP. Please let me know what you think of it. Is it overdone? do I have more structure than I need? will it support the weight of two layers of bricks on top of it? Any critique or feedback would be appreciated.
I will be posting more WIPs through out the year leading up to SHIPtember 2018! Please let me know what you think in the comments. I want to know what you think of the structure I have laid out, I wonder if it's to complex, overdone?
This is a structure of Japanese Sake brewer.
I think a design of this structure looks like a crying face... :D

Another attempt at a Gasometer - this time with a nice streaky sky. Still a long way to go to get this right, but its a good start.

Wangaratta.Explorers Hume and Hovell passed through here in 1824 and named the area the Oxley Plains. They were followed by Major Thomas Mitchell in 1836. He is believed to have camped on the banks of the Ovens River near the end of the main street. Both were impressed with the country and pastures along the Ovens River. About a year later George and William Faithfull settled at the Bontharambo pastoral station, north of Wangaratta. In 1838 their leasehold was taken by Joseph Docker. Docker's went on to build Bontharambo homestead in 1858 and this grand residence is now on the Register of the National Estate but not accessible to the public. Thirteen years later the new state of Victoria was created out of this part of NSW. The administrative district of Port Phillip Bay was created in 1836 with Victoria being separated from NSW in 1851 at the start of the gold rush.
Wangaratta emerged slowly as by 1840 all the surrounding land had been taken up by pastoral leaseholders. This was a crossing spot on the Ovens River and an enterprising colonist (Rattray) established a ferry service and a small inn here in 1838 and 1840 respectively. Wangaratta Post Office was one of the first inland postal office to start up in the Port Phillip District of NSW in 1843. In 1848 the Surveyor General for the Port Phillip District had a town surveyed at this spot with eleven streets and 200 town blocks but few were sold immediately. It was named Wangaratta by a surveyor named Wedge from an Aboriginal word meaning cormorants’ nesting place. The first land sales occurred in 1849 and by 1850 Wangaratta had several public buildings including a town school by the end of that year. The discovery of gold higher up the Ovens valley and near Beechworth in 1852 sped up the development of the town before 1860 as many failed diggers returned to Wangaratta to became settlers. The old punt service across the river was replaced with a wooden bridge in 1855, hotels flourished, general stores opened, industry began (blacksmithing etc.) and churches were erected. The only building left from this era is the Anglican Deanery built at the same time as the first Anglican Church in 1856. Everything else has been demolished and the City of Wangaratta has been busy demolishing its heritage buildings right up to the last few years. (e.g. The Royal Victoria Hotel demolished in 2006, the original council offices demolished in 2008, the oldest town store demolished in 2004, etc.) But a few more public buildings survive from the 1860s and 1870s but not many. One of the most important is the old railway station built in 1874 a year after the railway from Melbourne reached Wangaratta. Coaches then left from here for Beechworth, Bright, Rutherglen and other nearby towns. Another is the old Wangaratta brewery built in 1868 and the imposing St Patricks Catholic Church. It was designed by William Wardell the architect of the Catholic Cathedral in Melbourne and it was started in 1865. The nave and most of the church was completed by 1869. It was extended 1905 and enlarged in 1962. The London Chartered Bank was one of the first banks to open in Wangaratta I 1871. It built this grand banking chamber in 1875 at 49 Reid Street. It later became an E.S.& A. bank and then an ANZ bank before becoming offices. It is a classical building with a Doric porch and a small upstairs balcony. The other buildings from this period are the current public school in Chisholm Street built in 1876 when the 1850 National School was demolished, and the grand Post Office built in the 1873.
Most of the current heritage building still standing date from the later in the 19th or early 20th centuries.
•The wonderful Anglican cathedral which opened in 1909 still has its bell tower to be completed. Docker Street. Includes the Deanery and Bishop’s Lodge 1904 which is listed as 38 Ovens Street.
•The old library built in 1909 which is now the Information Centre. Murphy Street.
•The Pinset Hotel with perhaps a few walls from the 1850s but the main façade from the late 19th century.
•The old Fire Station of 1895 which is now the Historical Society building. Ford Street.
•The Presbyterian Church in Neo Romanesque style built in 1899. The Exhibitions gallery of the City. Ovens St.
•Next door in Ovens St is Averleigh a two storey mansion built in 1887 for a local businessman.
•Wangaratta Community Church. Docker Street. Probably was the Baptist Church built 1902.
•The Methodist Church now the Uniting Church and the Church of Christ. Close to each other in Rowan St. The first wooden Wesleyan churchwas erected in 1870 and replaced with a brick structure around 1900.
•The Art Deco style Courthouse is at 33 Faithful Street. Built in 1938 by Public Works Department architect Percy Everett who also did the Russell St Police headquarters in Melbourne and many other courthouses, police stations, schools etc in the Art Deco style.
•Behind the Catholic Church is St Catherine’s Hostel (aged care facility) once the Catholic Convent. The chapel here built in 1929 is a beautiful masterpiece with fine stained glass windows, marble altar etc. It is available to residents and visitors. This is the Delaney Chapel is at 59 Ryley St.
In the 20th century the town grew even more when large textile mills were established in it in 1923 and again later in 1946 when Bruck textiles mill were established. A third textile mill for Yakka clothing opened in the 1970s but alas all these mills are now gone except for the Dri Glo textile mill. As the population increased it was declared a city in 1959. This cathedral city with an Anglican Cathedral now has around 17,000 inhabitants. The diocese of Wangaratta was created in 1902. The city has three high schools and eight primary schools.
Obviously not a photo that I took today. Rather it is one that I found languishing in a folder of photos that I wanted to come back to later…so I did.
A pre-spring hydrangea in my nighbourhood caught my eye earlier this year. I love the filamentous structure that holds the dried petals together long after the blooms have faded.
I just didn’t feel like picking up the camera today so I opted for playing with some earlier images instead.

I sometimes think that separately, some new buildings are truely amazing. However, when you see them as part of a cityscape, they just add to the total clutter of a modern city.
I find this building, (or parts of it), to be quite amazing. Unfortunately, the adjacent glass & steel frame buildings does not match thereby just creating clutter.
(sorry for this ranting)
Thanks for stopping by.
All comments, ,hints and opinions are most welcome.
Located on Acoma Street between West Eleventh and West Twelfth Avenues, in Denver, the Evans School is an imposing structure that reflects the classical revival style of architecture. The building is a single, detached structure, irregular in shape, and three stories in height. Its exterior walls are made of specially prepared brick as well as stone, iron, and cement. The east or main facade has eighteen bays, three in the north projection, six in the indentation immediately to its south, three in the center pedimented pavilion, and six in the indentation immediately to its south. The north and south facades have eleven bays each; five on the east, five on the west, and one in the center. Two decorative windows, not counted as bays, flank the center entrance. The west or rear facade has a large number of bays and a major projection with a chimney above which is the flat deck with a surrounding railing which was used by the school for physical education classes. The roof is hipped.
The main body of the structure is of specially made red brick set in stretcher bond. The wall construction is probably load-bearing brick. The wall design includes an entablature and frieze above the ground floor windows on north, east and south facades and again above the third floor windows (surrounding the structure); there is a sill molding beneath the second floor windows around the north, east and south facades and corner quoins. Two pilasters with Ionic capitals are featured on the north and south facades as well as on the north and south projections on the main facade. A date stone that says "A 1904 D" is placed above both the north and south entranceways.
The Evans school is significant for its architectural excellence; for its association with education development in the city; and for its association with David W. Dryden, an important Colorado architect. In addition, the school was named for John Evans, an early territorial governor, important business leader, and a founder of the University of Denver.
The architect for the Evans School was David W. Dryden, a pioneer designer who practiced in Denver for thirty-five years. In 1901 he was appointed the supervising architect for School District #1, a position he held until 1912 when he resigned owing to poor health. It was during this tenure, however, the he designed twenty-three school buildings of which only three remain in essentially their original form. The Evans School, one of these three, is particularly important because it was designed to serve as a model for other schools that would be built in the district. Planning for the structure began at least as early as 1903, and construction began the next year.
Once completed, the Evans School served the public for sixty-nine years. Throughout this time it was an elementary school although for a brief period in 1917, it also housed Junior High students. In 1928 the school district established a Hearing Conservation Department at the Evans School and in 1930 a Sight Saving Department. For many years the school was the only one in the area that served the deaf, blind, or physically handicapped, and it was the only elementary school in Denver open in the summer.
Here's what I'm up to at work these days: a 1950s style foundation garment. It's basically an independent project, since there's a little lull in the workload at the moment. I haven't done 20th century undergarments much, and we've got some operas set in the 50s coming up next season, so it's good practice.
On one half you can see the pads pinned to the form to make it the right size, and the black lines of twill tape marking where seams and edges will be. On the other half you can see the garment in progress. I'm using embroidered satin for the center front, plain satin for the bust cups, stretch net for the side panels, and the rest of the body is made of three layers of fabric (two of bobbinet, one of soufel) quilted together in a diagonal plaid pattern (I did the quilting as well). There are also spiral bones in casings along all the vertical seams.
Lighting: An SB-900 through an umbrella camera left, and an SB-800 with a 1/2 cut CTO gel through a 1/4" grid aimed at a gobo consisting of a lot of hangers dangling off one another.

The monastery complex, the largest architectural ensemble among the historical structures of colonial Latin America, was completed in the 16th century. Construction took 150 years, and the building exhibits a mixture of architectural styles. ift.tt/1qULifA
Life is sometimes like this photo. We try to go forward towards our goals and aims. But the world around us can distract us from our target. But together, it makes life worth living and beautiful.
This is an A&G Taylor's series postcard dating from about 1905 but the photograph is several years earlier, there is no sign of a motorised vehicle, horse drawn buses and Hansom cabs rule the roadway. The view is looking northeast towards St. Martin in the Fields from a first floor window at 33, Cockspur Street, the premises of E. Dent & Co. Ltd the famous clock and watchmaker to the Queen and makers of the Big Ben clock. There appears to be a structure on the pedestrian refuge in Cockspur Street, could it be a stall of some kind?
