The range between the smallest phase and the largest is another way to determine how noisy a pixel is.
In 1861 a plan was formed to construct a breakwater off Laggers Point to make Trial Bay a harbour of refuge for those ships too big to cross river mouths.[3] Further plans included the idea to use prison labour for the construction, with a prison established specifically for that purpose. In 1877 work on the gaol commenced and in 1886 it was proclaimed a prison and inmates moved there.
The breakwater they worked on was to extend some 1500 metres out into the bay, built from granite blocks quarried from the nearby hill. Heavy gales caused damage to the structure as it progressed over the years. In 1898 and 1899 new wings were built on the prison, suggesting work was intending to continue, but in 1903 it was abandoned. Apparently the prison was costly to run and didn't fit with ideas of penology of the time.
About 300 metres of breakwater had been built, and it had shoaled up the bay considerably. A wharf had been built inside the breakwater in 1898, not meant for public use, but which ended up used regularly by passenger ships which could not navigate the Macleay River mouth. Today only a small section of the breakwater remains, about 50 metres, and nothing of the wharf.
In 1915 the gaol was reopened to hold German wartime internees. Most were single men of some education and included officers of the German Army Reserve. A rumour went around in 1917 that a German landing party planned to free the men and when a German raider the SS Wolf was seen in 1918 the men were moved to the large camp at Holsworthy outside Sydney.
This was the last use made of the prison and it was stripped and fixtures sold off in 1922. Today it's open to the public, operated as a heritage site by the National Parks and Wildlife Service

Shortly after 2am Prospect Volunteers were dispatched for a structure fire at 64 Cook Rd. First arriving units found a fully involved car fire in the driveway which had extended to the corner of the house. Upon size up of the situation an engine and ladder from Cheshire and an additional tanker from Bethany were requested to the scene and an engine company from Waterbury to headquarters for coverage. With all the residents determined to be out of the house, crews quickly worked on extinguishing the car as others advanced lines through the front door to attack the fast moving structure fire. Fire vented through a partial roof collapse near the origin of the fire and from roof cuts made by the truck crews. The situation was declared under control approximately 45 minutes after dispatch. Investigation of the scene showed a threatening statement spray painted on the garage door near the origin of the fire and witness told police they saw someone fleeing the scene shortly after the fire was discovered. The Prospect Fire Marshal was on scene and in light of the evidence found the State Fire Marshal's Office was called to the scene for a full investigation of the fire.
Sitting quietly among the trees and adjacent to a busy main road and a golf course this world war two Pill Box dates from 1940 but was never used in conflict. There were about 20,000 built across the UK. Most have now crumbled away.
This one left perhaps as a warning how very different life for us all might have been had an invasion taken place !!

A cool and elegant design of a globe placed on the heart of Pasay City, Philippines. A sign where the biggest mall in Asia reside, called "SM Mall of Asia".
The structure is not fully subterranean, the thick blast walls and roof are half above ground. I had taken the Canon but I'd damaged the memory card and left my spares in the main camera bag so my phone had to do.
The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is the only one still situated on its original site. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.
On Scene at an early morning fire that badly damaged the club house at the Canaan Country Club located on High St. in North Canaan, Connecticut. Shortly after 4:30 am the North Canaan Fire Department was dispatched for a structure fire at the country club and first arriving units confirmed the fire to be through the roof. Mutual aid for tankers, engines and additional manpower was quickly dispatched from Lakeville and Falls Village,CT as well as Sheffield Massachusetts. Though the fire was brought under control after 40 minutes the structure sustained heavy damage. Additionally railroad traffic along the Housatonic line had to be held since water supply lines had to be stretched across the train tracks from hydrants located on Route 7. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire or the suppression effort.
A late night fire badly damaged a damaged an attatched garage and caused exposure damage to the dwelling to which it was attatched. Fire crews arrived to heavy fire which had completely engulfed the garage and was threatening the home as well as the house next door. Crews got several 2.5 inch lines running on the main fire as the truck company made entry into the home to search for victims and knock down any extension of the fire. The main fire was knocked down in about 25 minutes and it appeared that the garage took the bulk of the damage. Crews would remain on scene for an extended period for overhaul and to assist in the investigation of the fire. See the whole incident on my website www.onscenefirephoto.com
An authentic reproduction of an old water-powered grist mill, this striking structure appears in the opening scene of the classic 1939 film Gone with the Wind and is believed to be the only building remaining from the film. Built in 1933; designed to look old so it would appear as if it was built the 1800s. The park is decorated with sculptures of toadstools, tree stumps, and a tree branch-entwined bridge that connects the mill to the rest of the park. Senor Dionico Rodriguez, a sculptor and artist of Mexico City, was responsible for all the details of each piece of concrete work made to represent wood, iron or stone, as well as the designing of the foot bridges and rustic seats. The Old Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

An in-stream rock weir (upstream) installed to direct flow from the banks toward the center of a stream and a log/rootwad structure. Lewistown, MT. Nov. 2011
Random shot taken during a feature in Suffolk. I'm led to believe this structure is something to do with the cooling outlets from Sizewell B nuclear power station, which was about half a mile away.
B&W treatment in LR with a contrast boost to bring out what little horizon there was - it was a grey, flat day that was pretty gash for landscape photography.
