(Pycnonotus cafer)-The Red-vented Bulbul is a member of the bulbul family of passerines. It is resident breeder across the Indian Subcontinent, including Sri Lanka extending east to Burma and parts of Tibet.The Red-vented Bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white.
Built on the crest of a hill in a prominent position overlooking St Kilda and the bay is the grand St Kilda Presbyterian Church. Opened in 1886, the St Kilda Presbyterian church was designed by the architects firm of Wilson and Beswicke, a business founded in 1881 by Ralph Wilson and John Beswicke (1847 - 1925) when they became partners for a short period. The church is constructed of bluestone with freestone dressings and designed in typical Victorian Gothic style. The foundation stone, which may be found on the Alma Road facade, was laid by the Governor of Victoria Sir Henry Barkly on 27 January. When it was built, the St Kilda Presbyterian Church was surrounded by large properties with grand mansions built upon them, so the congregation were largely very affluent and wished for a place of worship that reflected its stature not only in location atop a hill, but in size and grandeur.
The exterior facades of the church on Barkley Street and Alma Road are dominated by a magnificent tower topped by an imposing tower. The location of the church and the height of the tower made the spire a landmark for mariners sailing into Melbourne's port. The tower features corner pinnacles and round spaces for the insertion of a clock, which never took place. Common Victorian Gothic architectural features of the St Kilda Presbyterian Church include complex bar tracery over the windows, wall buttresses which identify structural bays, gabled roof vents, parapeted gables and excellent stone masonry across the entire structure.
The St Kilda Presbyterian Church's interior is cool, spacious and lofty, with high ceilings of tongue and groove boards laid diagonally, and a large apse whose ceiling was once painted with golden star stenciling. The bluestone walls are so thick that the sounds of the busy intersection of Barkley Street and Alma Road barely permeate the church's interior, and it is easy to forget that you are in such a noisy inner Melbourne suburb. The cedar pews of the church are divided by two grand aisles which feature tall cast iron columns with Corinthian capitals. At the rear of the building towards Alma Road there are twin porches and a narthex with a staircase that leads to the rear gallery where the choir sang from. It apparently once housed an organ by William Anderson, but the space today is used as an office and Bible study area. The current impressive Fincham and Hobday organ from 1892 sits in the north-east corner of the church. It cost £1030.00 to acquire and install. The church is flooded with light, even on an overcast day with a powerful thunder storm brewing (as the weather was on my visit). The reason for such light is because of the very large Gothic windows, many of which are filled with quarry glass by Ferguson and Urie featuring geometric tracery with coloured borders. The church also features stained glass windows designed by Ferguson and Urie, British stained glass artist Ernest Richard Suffling, Brooks, Robinson and Company Glass Merchants, Mathieson and Gibson of Melbourne and one by Australian stained glass artist Napier Waller.
I am very grateful to the Reverend Paul Lee for allowing me the opportunity to photograph the interior of the St Kilda Presbyterian Church so extensively.
The architects Wilson and Beswicke were also responsible for the Brighton, Dandenong, Essendon, Hawthorn and Malvern Town Halls and the Brisbane Wesleyan Church on the corner of Albert and Ann Streets. They also designed shops in the inner Melbourne suburbs of Auburn and Fitzroy. They also designed several individual houses, including "Tudor House" in Williamstown, "Tudor Lodge" in Hawthorn and "Rotha" in Hawthorn, the latter of which is where John Beswicke lived.
The stained glass firm of Ferguson and Urie was established by Scots James Ferguson (1818 – 1894), James Urie (1828 – 1890) and John Lamb Lyon (1836 – 1916). They were the first known makers of stained glass in Australia. Until the early 1860s, window glass in Melbourne had been clear or plain coloured, and nearly all was imported, but new churches and elaborate buildings created a demand for pictorial windows. The three Scotsmen set up Ferguson and Urie in 1862 and the business thrived until 1899, when it ceased operation, with only John Lamb Lyon left alive. Ferguson and Urie was the most successful Nineteenth Century Australian stained glass window making company. Among their earliest works were a Shakespeare window for the Haymarket Theatre in Bourke Street, a memorial window to Prince Albert in Holy Trinity, Kew, and a set of Apostles for the West Melbourne Presbyterian Church. Their palatial Gothic Revival office building stood at 283 Collins Street from 1875. Ironically, their last major commission, a window depicting “labour”, was installed in the old Melbourne Stock Exchange in Collins Street in 1893 on the eve of the bank crash. Their windows can be found throughout the older suburbs of Melbourne and across provincial Victoria.

I cut a 4" diameter hole for a 5" louvered stainless vent on the aft end of the engine box. With the blower running, I should get a nice, warm draft out of this vent to warm the hands on cold days.
i'm not quite sure what's happened there... :-)

Seu nome é Sayonara. Curiosamente um nome japonês para uma indiazinha baiana. Ela poderia chamar-se Iara, Janaína, mas Sayonara parece combinar tanto com ela!
Chegou com os cabelos voando, oferecendo colares coloridos dos Pataxós, que têm uma aldeia logo ali. Tímida, não quis posar para a foto e foi saindo. Mas virou-se para chamar os outros amigos e consegui capturá-la em sua essência, sua cor, seus traços, quase seus segredos.
Então, voou.
Pensando bem, poderia chamar-se Sol, Flor, Colibri, poderia chamar-se Vento.

Un reggimento di poveri operai di partito
una scopata per caso e l’anello è gia al dito
tempo vent'anni crescevano coi denti cariati
i perdenti da loro generati
Mi ricordo un piazzale mi vestivo gia male
convinto che io non ero uguale ma
avevo amici daltonici precoci già tristi
allegramente fatalisti
Avevo solo vent’anni avevo solo vent’anni
avevo solo vent’anni avevo solo vent’anni
avevo solo vent’anni avevo solo vent’anni
io quando avevo vent’anni avevo sonno
Dalla terrazza sul mare sino al centro sociale
manciate di sputi e poi finiva già male
c’era quello già povero e chi ci diventava
la fica alla fine li uccideva
Avevo tasche stracolme di cazzate orientali
ottimismo da spiaggia e coltellini speciali
e credevo a maometto come a babbo natale
che fondamentalmente è uguale
Avevo solo vent’anni avevo solo vent’anni
avevo solo vent’anni avevo solo vent’anni
avevo solo vent’anni avevo solo vent’anni
io quando avevo vent’anni ero uno stronzo

Le havre de Portbail
Portbail/Manche
Promeneurs sur les bancs de sable du havre de Portbail.
On trouve dans la Manche de puissants courants marins. Ils sont créés principalement par les marées, mais aussi par le vent et la différence de salinité entre les eaux de la Manche. Les principaux cou- rants appartiennent à la branche Nord-Atlantique du Gulf Stream, ils entrent par la pointe de Brest et se dirigent vers le pas de Calais et la mer du Nord.
En suivant le déplacement moyen d’une parti- cule sur la Manche, on se rend compte que, sou- mises au flot et au jusant de la marée, elles se déplacent en tourbillonnant et que ponctuellement, en fonction du relief, leur trajectoire principale peut être très différente : dans la baie du Mont-Saint- Michel, au sud du cap de Granville, les particules
sont entraînées vers le fond de la baie, autour de Guernesey, les masses d’eau tournent autour de l’île en quelques jours, le long de la côte du Cotentin, ils sont orientés vers le nord. Entre le cap de Granville et le cap de Carteret, sur la côte occidentale du Cotentin, le courant régulier, toujours orienté dans la même direction va border les plages d’un long cordon dunaire de 70 kilomètres. Il n’est interrompu par endroits que par la présence de petits fleuves côtiers qui débouchent dans la Manche et se frayent un chemin au travers de la dune. Avec le temps et l’accumulation de sable poussé par le courant, des flèches sableuses se sont développées. A l’arrière de ces cordons dunaires végétalisés, le fleuve crée
un havre protégé des tempêtes, qui est envahi par la marée deux fois par jour. Huit havres se sont développés sur cette côte : le havre de Carteret, qui accueille un port de pêche et de plaisance, le havre de Portbail et son célèbre pont aux 13 arches, qui le sépare en deux, le havre sauvage de Surville, le plus petit estuaire de la Manche, le havre de Saint- Germain-sur-Ay, très végétalisé, qui accueille des moutons de pré-salé, le havre de Gefosse, réserve de chasse maritime, le havre de Blainville, lieu d’ac- tivité ostréicole, le havre de Regneville le plus vaste, à l’embouchure de la Sienne et de la Soulles, et le havre de la Vanlée préservé de toutes constructions.
