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.
Nails, that have rusted over last 37 years, these nails were in a front window frame, and had been painted over.
Still they cannot escape the rust from the salt air at the beach

Speeded up view of clouds over Whitehawk Hill (East Brighton, East Sussex, England) streaming past the silhouette of my window at sunset, fading to dusk. (Late afternoon in wintertime.) The time lapse effect is the result of 24 minutes of video speeded up about 16 times to last only one and a half minutes in duration.
A hint of rose light from the setting sun briefly illuminates the clouds. The wind is (the prevailing) south westerly, fresh off the nearby North Atlantic coast.
Part of a house plant's leaves can be seen, as well as smudges in the dirty window pane.
A dissolve has been used to hide a moment of camera wobble a tenth of the way through.
My first flickr video. (Oh well, there goes the neighborhood...)
This is the other side of my house, the weather there is not better.
All of you a good weekend and evening.
Korumburra Primary School is State School number 3077. Located on a gently rolling hillside on the corner of Mine Road and John Street, the primary school is just outside of the main commercial centre of Korumburra.
The original Nineteenth Century school, a weatherboard, corrugated iron roofed single room structure is still located on the school’s grounds hedging Wrenchs Lane, but with the growth of Korumburra in the late 1890s, the population of students soon outgrew the building, and a new red brick school was built in the early 1900s. Like many other schools built in the first decade of the Twentieth Century, it has an Arts and Crafts Movement inspired uniformity in style to identify it as a State School. It features tall, narrow windows in blocks of two or four, which flood the classrooms with light, stone horizontal banding to break up the red brick facades, Art Nouveau styled air vents and hipped roofs with tall chimneys. Unlike many schools of a similar age in Melbourne, the Korumburra Primary School does not feature a terracotta tiled roof, but rather a corrugated iron one like its predecessor. Corrugated iron would have been easier to make locally or transport from Melbourne, some 120 kilometres, and several days journey away. An old oak tree planted when the new school was established still survives in the grounds today, in spite of the harsh Australian summers and several years of drought.

Built in the 1920s this old stone building with its Funtionalist Moderne windows and ornamental Mock Tudor gables used to be a restaurant.
Located in the Victorian country town of Korumburra, the former restaurant has long since closed and where once ladies sat taking tea at intimately grouped tables there now lies the burnt out remains of the interior, which is slowly being reclaimed by nature. Sadly, all the stylish Functionalist Moderne windows have had their panes smashed, but the frames, rusty and still held in their closed position as they were left, give an idea of how the restaurant must once have looked. The building features a typically picturesque high gabled roof line and ornamental fretwork on the boards beneath the eaves to give it that Tudorbethan style, so popular across Britain and her dominions. The whole building was once painted white and the struts on the fretwork picked out in black to give it the Olde English look that would have made this a delightful place to be.
In spite of its dereliction, there is still beauty to be found in this building. Not only is the stylish skeleton still standing proud, but in the light that fills the building's interior through the broken skeletal panes of the windows and clusters of brightly coloured nasturtiums (a remnant of the former cottage garden about the restaurant) that still spring up from amongst the grass.

Originally opened in 1912, the Leongatha Masonic Hall on the corner of Bruce Street and Masonic Lane has served the local community for one hundred years.
The current building of clinker and brown brick is a more recent construction, enveloping the original 1912 hall with a new facade and adding to the lodge in the 1930s. Low slung and minimal in detail, the Leongatha Masonic Hall is typical of architecture of the Streamline Moderne movement. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Streamline Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. This is evident in the wide entranceway to the lodge on Bruce Street. This section, constructed in the 1930s also features a flat roof which is another common feature of Streamline Moderne buildings. The gable on the left hand corner of the Bruce Street facade is in fact the original 1912 lodge with a more modern facade. The Functionalist metal windows installed beneath the gable are accentuated by the addition of ornamental buttresses which are capped with neat stone carvings. The entrance itself is flanked by classically inspired columns with Ionic capitals.
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.

Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
These wonderful Streamline Moderne red and brown brick flats with rounded balconies and Functonalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on angular detail, Streamline Moderne buildings often placed emphasis on rounded edges, as though they were standing up against a great wind. The rounded concrete rendered balcony edges are prime examples of such architectural features. Aside from these and a small amount of feature brickwork, the detail on these flats is minimal.
I spotted this window this evening in an old building next to a construction site and couldn't help myself.
I really liked the rundown look and the fact that at one point in time there had been a weed growing in the window frame which is at least twenty feet from the ground. I loved the white painted brick work with the dark cracks opening up within it.
I think that there is a lot of beauty to be discovered in decay, if you just look for it.
Built between 1908 and 1912 to house workers in the backyard of their place of employment – the large smoke-churning Wieczorek (formerly ‘Giesche’) coal mine – the enclosed residential complex of Nikiszowiec is composed of six compact four-sided three-storey blocks with inner courtyards. Distinguished by its uniformity of style – red brick buildings accented with red-painted windowframing, and narrow streets joined by handsome arcades – the neighbourhood was designed by Georg and Emil Zillman of Berlin-Charlottenburg to be a completely self-sufficient community for 1,000 workers with a school, hospital, police station, post office, swimming pool, bakery and church. Thanks to WWI and the subsequent Silesian Uprisings – during which time Nikiszowiec saw fierce fighting, and was afterwards incorporated into Poland – St. Anne’s Church (Pl. Wyzwolenia 21) wasn’t able to be finished until 1927, but became the crowning glory of the neighbourhood as soon as it was. A welcome diversion from the smokestacks dominating the roofline of the district’s other side, this magnificent building incorporates Baroque design with two belltowers and a timepieced steeple, while blending into its surroundings without any of the ghastly and gratuitous exterior decoration associated with the style; make sure you take a stroll down ul. Św. Anny for the most photogenic views. If you’re lucky enough to get inside, take notice of the amazing 5,350 pipe organ and highly ornate Zillman chandelier. Though it would ironically seem be a socialist planners’ wet dream, Nikiszowiec actually makes a happy, handsome departure from the communist botch-job of downtown Katowice and has become a prized location for amateur photographers and budding filmmakers due to the fact that it has remained virtually unchanged since the Second World War. City marketers have also recognised the district’s uniqueness with increasing efforts to draw tourist attention to the area and a campaign afoot to fasten Nikiszowiec to the UNESCO Heritage List.
The zebra spider (Salticus scenicus) is a common jumping spider of the Northern Hemisphere. Like other jumping spiders, it does not build a web. It uses its four pairs of large eyes to locate prey and its jumping ability to pounce and capture it. Zebra spiders are often noted for their awareness of humans. Upon noticing someone observing them, they can be seen raising their head, and usually change behavior (hence the name Salticus scenicus, theatrical jumper).

The hospital had several large glass corridors linking the main building with the surrounding departments however the majority have all been demolished. This is what remains of the internal corridors.

Watched a video on macro photography and learned a few things I didn't know my current gear was capable of. This critter was in the windowframe next to my desktop and I lit it with a couple of flashlights that were handy.

A quite rare and rather beautiful little Armstrong Siddeley Atlanta (?) seen parked in the Broadway, Winchester on New Years Day 2024 during the Friends of King Alfred Buses annual running day, Parked behind it are a 1936 Leyland Titan (Left) and a 1970 Leyland Panther (Right).
this is taken in akranes..on one of my strolls before sunday school..i love the window frames..the curtains and that the house is not allowed to be dirty..:)
Shadows on my living room wall... as the Sun moved west (or did the Earth move east - Copernicus, where are you when I need you?), I noticed this natural passing symmetery.
By the way, the picture frame within the window frame contains a beautifully coloured antique map of Amsterdam - De Platte grond van de Stad Amsterdam - but unfortunately it's not dated.
This looks quite good on black. And there's another 'window shadow' image here.
I figure its about time I did a prop shot. And i just happened to recieve a beautiful gerbera bouquet the other day for my birthday.
The boys aren't keen on photography in the late evening. Bedtime is bedtime. It was almost impossible to keep Per's head up and eyes open. This is the highest he would raise his ears for me.
The only thing that bugs me about this shot is the stems. Okay and the plant behind Per. And the shiny windowframe. And the lack of color on his eye, although i tinkered with it a slight bit. I'm trying to use photoshop past the usual adjust brightness/contrast/saturation, and actually trying to fix small things here and there. And Flickr seems to have brightened his right eye even more, although i assume that varies by monitor.
Featuring a slate roofed tower, this building on the corner of Commercial Street and Radovick Street Korumburra is one of the local landmarks as presides over one side of oen of the town's busiest intersections.
Built in the early years of the Twentith Century, this building has been built in the Federation Free Classical style of architecture. Much has changed to the facade of the building as architectural styles and retail fashions changed over the subsequent century, however the upper storey remains mostly intact. Some of the architectural elements that identify it as Federation Free Classical style are; the use of contrasting materials to create interesting texture contrasts, a pediment to conceal the roofline, an arcade of arched windows and a prominent tower with classical detailing.

The red brick Federation-era courthouse was built in Ballarat's Camp Street as the new police court in 1904. It contained a two-story courtroom with clerk's and magistrate's rooms. It features a balcony for the magistrate above the entranceway. The Queen Anne style building features (formerly) white and red banding around doorways and windows.
After 1941, when courtrooms were provided in the new State Government offices, this building housed the Benevolent Asylum's Ladies Committee.
Today it houses the Arts Academy's music theatre studio.
Queen Anne was mostly a residential style inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England, but also encompassed some of the more stylised elements of Art Nouveau, which gave it an more decorative look. Queen Anne style civic buildings are a rarity in Australia.

This is just the second Ladybug I spotted on one of our windowsills. Maybe he/she will bring good luck! Maybe Spring is in the air also. I could not get a clear shot, had to rush with my little camera.
Today turns out to be my lucky day! I had some good news as well as an email from a friend I have not seen since High School, 60 years ago! I am thrilled and will be able to contact her finally, after trying for years.

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.
