Flew up to Christchurch for a job interview today. On the way back there was a stunning sunset out the window, unfortunately I was on the wrong side of the plane.

The nice view from my cousin's living-room window looking towards the South Pier at Stromness Harbour.
I love the still life sets that historical homes provide. Except that since Westville is a living history museum, so there is fresh firewood in every building that has a fireplace or wood burning stove.
This is in the Grimes House.
With its classic bull nosed verandah, this medium-sized weatherboard villa sitting amid a pretty cottage garden behind a picket fence may be found in the South Gippsland town of Leongatha.
Neatly painted all in white, this villa is architecturally typical of the houses built in the country by the professional middle classes in the 1860s. It features a wonderful corrugated iron roof and bull nosed verandah with elegant cast iron lacework beautifully picked out in white with blue detailing on the wooden support posts. Like other houses in the area, the villa has been elevated. This feature keeps the house safe from the hard, damp ground during winter, and allows air to circulate beanth the house during hot Australian summers to cool it, making the villa a more pleasant place to be in extreme weather. As logging was a typical industry in the area, it is not unusual to find a house to be made of wooden weatherboards, even if the owners are of a higher social standing than others around them. Like everyone in the district, the owners would have wanted to help their town prosper and develop. What better way of doing it than supporting the local saw mill and carpenters?
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.
I was in two minds about whether this would do for my number 10, but I've gone with it. I like how the two windows and the sign kind of make an H, and the sign has an H on it. Anyway, #10 done.

I haven't identified this spider yet. I was thinking that I'd upload it here once I'd managed to identify it, but that's not happening.
At first glance I thought this was a Salticus scenicus, mostly because I'm used to seeing Salticus scenicus spiders (they're very common here), and secondly because it's a similar size and shape.
But the markings are very different. It's not obviously resembling spider photographs or prints in my spider books.
Alan Thornhill (in comments below) has suggested that it might be an Icius sp, which would be a type of spider foreign to the UK. Interesting! Thanks Alan.
I've looked up Icius sp on Google and Flickr, and I can see resemblances.

These baby cats have a good time in the sun in this typical French windowframe in downtown Cucuron. A very charming village in the Vaucluse, Provence.

The Bank of Nova Scotia building at 125 Sparks Street was designed in the Beaux-Arts style in 1924 by Belfast architect John MacIntosh Lyle. The symmetrical sandstone south facade includes columns, basins, mahogany and bronze doors, and bas-reliefs inspired by Canadian economic activities. Inside, we note the executive office and the waiting room in walnut and white oak as well as the banking room, in Doric style, adorned with floors of pink-gray marble from Tennessee, walls in imitation stone as well as bronze wall sconces. The bank occupied the building until 1985, after which the building remained vacant for almost 15 years.
In 1999, the Government of Canada approved the bid from Schœler & Heaton Architects and LeMoyne Lapointe Magne Architectes. Renovations began in April 2000 and the Library of Parliament moved in in July 2001. Modern features added to the building include a new north facade entirely covered in glass on the exterior. Inside, a mezzanine is added to connect maple and steel offices to five stories of shelving with glass floors.
In 2017, as part of the Parliamentary Precinct's Long Range Vision and Plan DFS Inc. architecture & design and PCL Construction, in partnership with Public Services and Procurement Canada and the House of Commons, redesigned the branch as the Interim Main Library. Modernizing the building has helped the Library of Parliament meet the ever-changing needs of its parliamentary users. The space now includes a new reading room equipped with a multimedia wall on which news and sittings of the two houses of Parliament are broadcast, three collaborative rooms and an event hosting capacity.

The Korumburra Comfort Station for Women was designed and constructed in 1944 by the Public Works Department. Located at 3 Radovick Street Korumburra, the Women’s Comfort Station is on one of Korumburra's main commercial streets.
Aesthetically, the Women’s Comfort Station is very Art Deco in style. Built of smart clinker brick, it is a well resolved interwar public building, which is notable as a locally rare example that features progressive Streamline Moderne influences such as the stepped pylon at the south west corner. The rounded verandah of corrugated iron with wooden supports is a much later edition, introduced when Korumburra became known for its fine Victorian buildings during the 1980s.
The quality of the design and prominent location of the facility illustrates prevailing attitudes to the provision of separate public conveniences for women in the pre-Second World War period.
Korumburra is a medium-sized dairy and farming town in country Victoria, located on the South Gippsland Highway, 120 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. Surrounded by rolling green hills, the town has a population of a little over 4,000 people. Korumburra has built itself on coal mining (after the discovery of a coal seam in 1870), local forestry and dairy farming. Whilst the coal seam has been used up, farming in the area still thrives and a great deal of dairy produce is created from the area. The post office in the area opened on the 1st of September in 1884, and moved to the township on the railway survey line on the 1st of November 1889, the existing office being renamed Glentress. The steam railway connecting it with Melbourne arrived in 1891. Whilst the train line has long since operating commercially, it has found a new life as the popular tourist railway the South Gippsland Railway which operates a heritage railway service between the major country centre of Leongatha and the small market town of Nyora.
House Sparrow / passer domesticus. Private site, Derbyshire. 04/09/15.
One of this years birds still bearing a trace of the yellow gape in the corners of its beak. I just liked the way in which it lowered its body when it noticed me
On site is a very healthy sized flock which is lovely to see after numbers have generally declined nationally. With the trend to renovate and develop old property, suitable nesting sites are harder for them to find.
Not the case here where they breed 'enthusiastically'! This year several of the old Swallow nests were taken over.
These were supposed to be a double exposure collaboration with Jith but hers didn't come out (Smashica issues). So here we have my strange photos a bit underexposed.
This photograph is from the Robert Sanderson collection.
