25 Ontario Street, Toronto
Toronto's disappearing old mid-century architecture. A few months ago I sort of accidentally went to downtown's Adelaide/ Richmond Streets area, and came across architecture of Toronto's industrial past. Many such old and vintage buildings are being demolished to make room for residential high-rises which in Canada and the U.S. are called condominiums (or condos). I thought I'd capture what remains before they are also re-developed.

Temporary Iron Assembly: A group of anonymous designers created this large sculpture (H 74, W 110, D 180 m) in the northern part of Utrecht (NL). They may have inspired Richard Serra or have been inspired by RS, although unconfirmed sources whisper that Drager Meurtant was the inspirator

Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.
Volenteer law enforcement and first responders on duty at a temporary U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) processing centers such as this one in the North Charleston Coliseum where county residents recovering from severe flooding have come to, in North Charleston, SC, on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015.In times of emergency, FNS coordinates with state and federal partners, as well as local volunteer organizations, such as the American Red Cross and Salvation Army, to provide USDA Foods to shelters and other mass feeding sites and, in limited cases, distribute food packages directly to households in need. USDA Foods are 100% domestically produced, processed and procured agricultural commodities that are made available to schools, tribes, and low-income individuals through FNS Nutrition Assistance Programs. Once retail food stores reopen, if survivors still need nutrition assistance and the area has received a ‘Presidential Disaster Declaration with Individual Assistance,’ State agencies may request to operate D-SNAP. People who may not normally qualify for nutrition assistance benefits may be eligible for D-SNAP if they had disaster-related expenses, such as loss of income, damage to property, relocation expenses, and, in some cases, loss of food due to power outages. Those already participating in the SNAP may be eligible for supplemental benefits under D-SNAP. For more information please visit this web site: www.fns.usda.gov/disaster.

Bible verses from the Jan. 12 page in Light for Each Day, Vol. 1:
The world in its current form is passing away.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell.

37421 rests outside it's temporary Home Depot of Muir of Ord on 8th August 1989. The depot was quickly opened following the bridge collapse at Inverness during a severe storm, which isolated the Kyle and Far North lines. This allowed light maintenance of the Class 37s, stock and DMUs that were marooned. Some transfers were also carried out by road to and from Inverness TMD when heavier work on the trains was required
With the old Library now flattened, visitors approaching the area from The Parade and Summer Hill get a rare viewing angle of the Town Hall and Art Gallery surrounding Chamberlain Square.
If there wasn't such a pressing need for another zillion square feet of office space plus more McDonalds, Subways and the like, the space could be landscaped to provide a area of calm in the city centre. Shame it won't happen.

The bus stands on The Broadway have been dug up (as seen in the background), so buses from the east are having to drop off at Locke Way stop 7 if they've got layover to take before their next departure.
They seem to park here if there's room, but if it's full, then they need to go round to Duke Street. If that's full, then they need to go back out, and down Stanley Road and up Chertsey Road to the lower half of Duke Street, where the car parking has been suspended to create more bus parking.
The amusing part of all these arrangements is that, with the roadworks and fencing, the right turn from Duke Street back onto The Broadway to get to the pick up stands is not actually possible to do in a bus without driving over the pavement!
Here's Abellio Surrey 8443 (KM02 HFS), having come in on a 456 from Staines. It's the only of this batch of ex-London Darts to wear the new livery - although it's (still) missing vinyls and the interior is as bad as the others, so does not really compare well to the refurbished MPDs.

Class 640 'LINT 27' single-car diesel-hydraulic unit No. 640 015 waits at Bad Ems station in the German Land of Rhineland-Palatinate with a service that will head east towards Limburg on Monday 26th May 2025.
When this photo was shot, the line heading west - towards Koblenz - was subject to long-term closure for substantial engineering work, effectively making Bad Ems the temporary terminus of the Lahntalbahn (the Lahn Valley Railway). As you can see, the station itself was also undergoing refurbishment at this time.
Bad Ems is twinned with Droitwich Spa in the UK.
Temporary wig, it's a tiny bit too hairy, and red. And that makes a lot of red! I gotta get used to it :D

English musician, singer, songwriter and actor Ringo Starr (1940) gained worldwide fame as the drummer for the Beatles. He occasionally sang lead vocals, such as for the hit Yellow Submarine. Starr played key roles in the Beatles' films and appeared in numerous others. After the break-up of The Beatles, Starr released several successful singles, including It Don’t Come Easy and Back Off Boogaloo.
Ringo Starr was born Richard Starkey in a small two-storey house in the working class area of Liverpool, England, in 1940. He was the only child of Elsie (née Gleave) and Richard Starkey, who both worked in a bakery. During childhood ‘Ritchie’ was twice afflicted by life-threatening illnesses. In 1953, he contracted tuberculosis and was admitted to a sanatorium, where he remained for two years. During his stay the medical staff encouraged their patients to join the hospital band. Ringo played percussion and grew increasingly interested in drumming. In 1955, he entered the workforce and did some odd jobs. He became a fervent admirer of the UK skiffle craze. In 1957, he cofounded his first band, the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group. It earned several prestigious local bookings before the skiffle craze faded in early 1958 as American rock and roll became popular in the UK. When the Beatles formed in 1960, Starr was a member of another Liverpool group, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. About this time he adopted the stage name Ringo Starr. After achieving moderate success in the UK and Hamburg, he quit the Hurricanes. Starr had performed with the Beatles during a few stand-in engagements while in Hamburg. In 1962, he joined the Beatles, replacing Pete Best. Ringo contributed to their first hit, Love Me Do, which charted in UK, and reached the top of the US singles chart in 1962. Soon, he began receiving an amount of fan mail equal to that of the others, which helped to secure his position within the band. During 1963, the Beatles enjoyed increasing popularity in Britain. By the end of the year, the phenomenon known as Beatlemania had spread throughout the country, and by February 1964 the Beatles had become an international success, performing on The Ed Sullivan Show to a record 73 million viewers. When the Beatles made their film debut in A Hard Day's Night (Richard Lester, 1964), Starr garnered much praise from critics, who considered both his delivery of deadpan one-liners and his non-speaking scenes highlights of the film. He and the other Beatles were cumulatively nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer for their performances in A Hard Day's Night. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “most of the comedy material went to Ringo, whose Chaplinesque demeanor and droll, deadpan dialogue delivery paid off in big laughs” After the release of the Beatles' second feature film, Help! (Richard Lester, 1965), Starr won a Melody Maker poll against his fellow Beatles for his performance as the central character in the film. In 1965, Starr married Maureen Cox, whom he had first met in 1962. By this time the stress and pressure that went along with Beatlemania had reached a peak for him. In August 1966, the Beatles released Revolver, their seventh UK LP. The album included the song Yellow Submarine, which was the only British number one single with Starr as the lead singer. Later that month and owing to the increasing pressures of touring, the Beatles gave their final concert. For the Beatles' seminal album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), Starr sang lead vocals on the Lennon–McCartney composition With a Little Help from My Friends. Brian Epstein's death in August 1967 left the Beatles without management. The band began an ill-fated film project, Magical Mystery Tour (The Beatles, 1967). Starr's growing interest in photography led to his billing as the movie's Director of Photography, and his participation in the film's editing was matched only by McCartney. During the recording of the White Album in 1968, The Beatles’s collective group dynamic began to decay. Despite a temporary return to congenial relations during the completion of the White Album, production of the Beatles' fourth feature film, Let It Be (Michael Lindsay-Hogg, 1970), and its accompanying LP, strained the already tenuous cohesion within the band.
After the break-up of The Beatles in 1970, Ringo Starr played drums on Lennon's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970), Ono's Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band (1970), and on Harrison's albums All Things Must Pass (1970), Living in the Material World (1973) and Dark Horse (1974). In 1971, Starr participated in the Concert for Bangladesh, organised by Harrison. They co-wrote the hit single It Don't Come Easy, which reached number four in both the US and the UK. In 1972, he released his most successful UK single, Back Off Boogaloo, which peaked at number two. Having become friends with the English singer Marc Bolan, Starr made his directorial debut with the T. Rex documentary Born to Boogie (1972). Starr also acted in several films, including Candy (Christian Marquand, 1968), The Magic Christian (Joseph McGrath, 1969) with Peter Sellers, the Spaghetti Western Blindman (Ferdinando Baldi, 1971), and That'll Be the Day (Claude Whatham, 1973) and the horror comedy. In 1971, he also starred as Larry the Dwarf in Frank Zappa's 200 Motels and was featured in fellow rock icon Harry Nilsson's animated film The Point! In 1973, Ringo produced the bizarre horror movie spoof Son of Dracula (Freddie Francis, 1974), in which he co-starred with Harry Nilsson. Starr also released the successful singles Photograph (1973) and You're Sixteen (1974). Both were songs from his critically acclaimed album Ringo (1973), which was a top ten release in both the UK and the US. His next album Goodnight Vienna (1974) was also successful, and featured musical contributions from Lennon, Elton John and Harry Nilsson. In the following years, his musical career diminished, although he continued to record and remained a familiar celebrity presence. He played the pope in Ken Russell's Lisztomania (1975), and one of Mae West’s husbands in Sextette (Ken Hughes, 1978). He also appeared as a guest at the Band's farewell concert in 1976, featured in Martin Scorsese’s documentary The Last Waltz (1978). During the 1980s Ringo starred in films like Caveman (Carl Gottlieb, 1981) with future wife Barbara Bach and he played a fictionalised version of himself in Paul McCartney's Give My Regards to Broad Street (Peter Webb, 1984). After having a long period of troubles with alcohol, Ringo and Barbara Bach attended a rehabilitation clinic, and came back to the scene sober. Starr maintained a high public profile through his narration of the popular children's series Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (1984-1986), based on the books by the Reverend W. Awdry. In 1989, Starr was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for for his role as Mr. Conductor in the television series Shining Time Station (1989), a spin-off of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Starr made a cameo appearance on The Simpsons episode Brush with Greatness (1991) and contributed an original song, You Never Know, to the soundtrack of the film Curly Sue (John Hughes, 1991). Since 1989, he has toured with twelve variations of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. In 1994, Starr began a collaboration with the surviving former Beatles for the Beatles Anthology project. They recorded two new Beatles songs built around solo vocal and piano tapes recorded by Lennon and gave lengthy interviews about the Beatles' career. Ringo Starr and his first wife Maureen Cox had three children: Zak (1965), Jason (1967) and Lee (1970). Following Starr's repeated infidelities, the couple divorced in 1975. In 1980, while on the set of the film Caveman, Starr met actress Barbara Bach. They were married in 1981. Ringo Starr has seven grandchildren – one from Zak, three from Jason and three from Lee. Starr and Bach split their time between homes in England, Switzerland and Los Angeles.

The question I've been pondering lately is What will happen to the pipelines when the earthquake strikes?
The Dolby Theatre (formerly known as the Kodak Theatre, and temporarily renamed the Hollywood and Highland Center Theatre)[2] is a live-performance auditorium in the Hollywood and Highland shopping mall and entertainment complex, on Hollywood Boulevard and North Highland Avenue, in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, United States. Since its opening on November 9, 2001, the theater has hosted the Academy Awards ceremonies (the Oscars), initially held there in March 2002. It is the first permanent home for these annual awards ceremonies.
This is where the gorgeous murciélago SV used to be. (look back in my gallery) Now there is this 458 Italia. Why? The SV needed to be checked due to a technical problem so it's now in Lamborghini Beirut.
But pending its return he just had to choose from one of his many cars in UAE and brought it here :)

Guichen Bay/Robetown/Robe.
Robe was the earliest town gazetted in the South East in 1846 (Naracoorte and Penola were founded in 1850). It was named by Governor Grey (1845-48) and the bay was named by Nicholas Baudin in 1802 after a French Admiral. The town site was selected and surveyed in 1846 by Thomas Burr. William Smillie, the Advocate General of SA from 1840 until he suddenly died in Paris in 1852 had mixed with SA governors since his appointment in 1840. The main street of Guichen Bay (Robe) was named after him by Governor Grey when the town was surveyed. One of the first buildings in the town was a small wooden Customs House erected in 1847 indicating the town’s role as an early port. The current Customs House was built in 1863 and closed in 1888. Royal Circus around it allowed bullock drays to turn easily. Near it is a monument to the Chinese immigrants of 1857 and to Matthew Flinders.
Soon after the town was proclaimed, woolgrowers moved in and the surrounding area became dotted with homesteads. Business was brisk and bullock teams, bringing in the wool or wheat were a common sight. Ormerod, a merchant and founder of Naracoorte was crucial to the town’s development for he owned the jetties and the general store (the Grey Masts Wool Store in Smillie Street.) Captain Gerard Butler was the first Government Resident from 1846 and he resided in the Residency which still exists as Robe House. It was built in 1847. Robe appears to have been the only town in SA with a residency- government representative, local magistrate, commander of any British troops in the area, general administrator etc. In most areas of SA magistrates travelled on a court circuit and they did not live locally. The South East was too far from Adelaide for that kind of system hence the construction of the Residency in Robe for the whole of the South East. Normally the Resident presided over the local police and courts but Robe had an influx of 20,000 Chinese immigrants headed for the Victorian goldfields between 1855 and 1863 so more than a Resident was needed. Troops were required in the town as Robe was not prepared for this sudden invasion of people, opium smoking, smuggling and drinking. Most of the Chinese arrived in 1857. A detachment of the SA 12th Regiment was sent to Robe to keep the peace, support the police and ensure the rule of law prevailed. The Adelaide government approved barracks for the military in 1857, but by the time they were erected the need had passed. The barracks closed in 1858 once the Chinese deluge had ceased and they became the second Police Station. The Ormerod Cottages near Royal Circus were used as barracks for the British troops in 1857 and when the Governor Sir James Fergusson travelled to Robe for the summer season at Karatta House 1869 to 1870. Around 100 British troops were stationed in SA from its foundation to guard the Governor, control the populace and help build infrastructure for the colony. SA usually received a platoon of troops from those sent to NSW. So in 1857 twenty five troops from the 1/12th Regiment of Foot were stationed at Robe under the Command of Lieutenant Saunders. In 1858 new troops arrived from the 2/40th Regiment of Foot. Troops of the 1st/50th Regiment served Governor Fergusson and accompanied him to Robe in the summer of 1869/1870 but all British troops had left SA by the end of 1870 due to Imperial needs ( Maori Wars in New Zealand and wars in South Africa.) Governor Fergusson continued to use Karatta House at Robe as a summer residence until he left SA in 1873. The next governor set about building Marble Hill.
Robe grew quickly and many Irish females and Scottish families arrived in 1855. Several big houses were built in the town: Karatta House was built for Henry Jones of Binnum Run near Bordertown in 1858; the Lodge was completed in 1850 as a residence and butcher shop; the handsome 12 roomed Moorakyne House was built by George Ormerod around 1856 and used as his residence until his death in 1872; and Lakeside Manor was built of local limestone in 1884 for George Danby, the youngest son of the Rev Sir Robert Affleck, Baronet of Dalham Hall, England. Lakeside Manor has imported English oak beams, Carrera marble fireplaces, numerous bay windows and the remnants of a carbide-gas lighting system. George Affleck changed his name to Danby to inherit the British estate bequeathed to him. This allowed him to move from a tiny cottage in Robe to his new mansion! Ormerod’s house Moorakyne eventually became the Church of England manse in 1909. It overlooks Lake Butler. Major landowners of the town and district included Sir Samuel Davenport and Sir John Morphett hence there are streets named after them in Robe.
In 1847 the Police Station (and first soldier barracks) was built, followed by the Court House (1848), the Telegraph Station in 1858, and the Gaol (1861). The Old Gaol near Cape Dombey was never fully completed and it closed in 1881. It is now demolished. The first private school opened in Robe in 1858 but the state school was not completed until 1884. Several hotels including the Bonnie Owl, the Bush Inn, the Caledonian Inn and the Criterion Hotel were soon opened in the first few years of the town’s history. The Bush Inn built in 1852 and licensed in 1855 was a roadhouse inn which originally catered for teamsters carting wool to Robetown port. The Bonnie Owl was licensed in 1848 and was later re-named the Robe Hotel. During the 1860s as many as ten licensed hotels operated in Robe. The Caledonian was built by Peter McQueen in 1858. It was here that Adam Lindsay Gordon stayed during an illness and he eventually married the licensee's daughter, Maggie Park. One of the first churches to serve the town was the Catholic St Mary Star of the Sea built in 1859. During the 1870s it had more rooms added which served as a convent and school conducted by Mary MacKillop’s Sisters of St Joseph. A Presbyterian Free Chapel was built in 1858 adjacent to where St Peter’s Anglican Church was built in 1860. (The Anglican church was not consecrated until 1914!) In 1869 a Bible Christian Methodist Church was opened in Robe. It later became a temporary state school in the 1880s before reverting to being a Methodist church.
During the early years ship owners frantically sought cargo for their empty ships on the return run to Europe. Robe supplied horses for the Indian Army, wool, tallow and sheepskins for Europe. Lake Fellmongery was named after the scouring (washing) process used to clean sheep skins. The town had an industry devoted to this task which began in 1853 after a load of wool was sunk in Guichen Bay and had to be washed before it could be sent on to England. Fellmongery continued into the mid-1860s. Besides fellmongery, the large stock numbers supported a short-lived but quite successful Guichen Bay Boiling Down Works. It processed up to 9,000 sheep per week between 1867 and 1869. The sheep were butchered, skinned and the carcasses boiled down to produce fat or tallow for candles. Between 1856-66 close to £2 million worth of wool was shipped from Robe by Mr. Ormerod alone. He dominated all trade in the port of Robe. Robert Lawson of Padthaway was just one of many who shipped their wool through Robe and Ormerod’s shipping company. Ormerod’s shipping company closed in 1878. As other ports were declared at Beachport and Kingston, Robe began to decline as it never had a railway like Beachport and Kingston to bring goods from the hinterland. Robe became an isolated town by the mid-1880s. The Obelisk on Cape Dombey was erected in 1855 to assist passing ships and those heading into Robe. After complaints by ship captains the obelisk was painted in alternate red and white bands in 1862 which still remain.
