Bit of a before and after job. Top is all fixed up(reducing hotspots, leveling the lighting etc...) to look like normal and below, well that's art ;-)

Bower.
The small town of Bower was established in 1899 a long way outside of Goyder’s line showing land suitable for agriculture and farming. The settlement was created because it was located on the most viable railway line in South Australia – from Adelaide to Morgan. It was named after a long serving and popular state politician David Bower who had died the year before in 1898. David Bower arrived in SA in 1846 and set himself up as a timber merchant in Port Adelaide. He entered parliament in 1865 and remained a politician until his retirement in 1887. He also served as Mayor of Port Adelaide twice in 1876 and 1878. He was a charitable man and is remembered at Port Adelaide by the Jubilee Homes now known as the Bower Cottages for distressed seamen. He paid for the cost of erecting these cottages as well as contributing funds for the erection of the Port Adelaide Institute. David Bower’s home was named St Clair at Woodville. The district out on the Murray Flats was settled, mainly by German background farmers in 1880 with the town being surveyed in 1899. Like many German settlements it soon had two Lutheran churches from two different Lutheran synods. St Peter’s congregation was formed in 1880 with the church being erected in 1890 and Immanuel Lutheran congregation was formed in 1892 with their church being built in 1899. Both churches had their own Lutheran schools until 1917 when an act of parliament closed all Lutheran schools. A government school had been established in the town in 1899 and that continued offering education until it too closed in 1961. The town’s Post Officer operated from 1891 through to 1983. The Eudunda Farmer’s General Store in Bower was store number three and the second Eudunda Farmer’s Store opened in SA. It opened in 1898. The economic mainstays of the town were not farming but wood cutting for Eudunda Farmer’s and lime burning in kilns just outside of the town. Lime was in high demand around 1900 as it was the base material for mortar for brick building and stone had gone out of fashion at that time and new houses were being built in brick. The Murray Flats had plenty of limestone and this was heated to about 900 degrees Centigrade in a kiln to produce quicklime. Some families struggled as mixed farmers with a little grain and sheep grazing. During drought years water was carted by train wagons from Morgan on the River Murray. Not much remains in Bower today and the Eudunda Farmers General Store has gone. Immanuel Lutheran Church (off the main road) and cemetery remains but the school is a pile of rubble; St Peter’s church (on the main road) remains in good condition and the school room is still located next to the old church. The old Eudunda Farmers Store which was a fine stone building has now gone. It closed in 1953. It was located by the railway line and next to the wood yard.

just for fun. a painting i did for work. it was just supposed to be something silly for the facebook page. the idea was to portray the characters from a movie in the style of some artist. so this is painted over a famous photograph and (though it's mostly only texture remains) it has a similar composition. i actually used another painting for the project, but i thought i'd just let this one see daylight. can you guess the original photographer? can you guess the movie?

Two similar yet obviously different grasshoppers. Top one is a meadow grasshopper, Chorthippus parallelus. I think the smaller one on the right is a lesser marsh grasshopper, Chorthippus albomarginatus - but I'm not 100% on that one, comments welcome. Correction - two Meadow Grasshoppers, f & m.
I thought this was just a spider (thanks to E_O_S for the ID) but turns out its a harvestman (a close relative), it wasn't until I had a close up look at him that I spotted the face on his back..... I wonder is it to ward off predators??
