Built on the high side of a road, this Victorian weatherboard villa constructed in the late 1890s may be found in the South Gippsland town of Leongatha.
The villa stands proudly amid a beautiful cottage garden, and is surrounded by a white picket fence. Double fronted and sprawling, it has obviously been extended in the ensuing years since it was bult. It features a wonderful bull nosed verandah around three sides of the original residence. The verandah has some very pretty and dainty cast iron lacework and a corrugated iron awning, which matches the roof of the villa. This villa also features some beautiful stained glass widnows featuring diamond patterns in red, blue and yellow.
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 came across this shot purely by chance. I was heading across the city to take part in one of the famous ghost walks and I was in a bit of a rush. It had just been raining as you can see and I (rather fortunately) decided to take the scenic route down the famous Shambles - one of the oldest and most picturesque streets in York, dating back around 900 years.
I had to press the camera up against the building on the left to combat the slow shutter speed and I'm really pleased with the resultant colours.
Definitely one to see on black - press 'L'

I often go out with the intention of shooting a landscape and see something much more interesting visually - in this case, condensation on a window and a jug. Such joy in the simple things.

So much of New Zealand's native forests found themselves made into houses, doors, windowframes and fences from early settlement until introduced woods were available as alternatives. This wooden fence - a line of native trees - is in Horopito. The old card bodies visible through it are part of "Smash Palace", a huge car wreckers with everything from vintage to modern car bodies in various states of disrepair.
This photograph captures a striking panorama of Berlin, Germany. The focal point is the Berliner Fernsehturm, a prominent landmark, piercing the clear blue sky. The foreground is dominated by a row of traditional buildings with ornate facades and red tile roofs, characteristic of the Nikolaiviertel district. The buildings are constructed from brick and feature detailed window frames and decorative elements. The angle of the shot, taken from a low perspective, accentuates the height and grandeur of the TV tower. The overall impression is one of historical charm combined with modern urbanity.
This street is fantastic. I spent a good ten minutes walking up and down this area just thinking how many hundreds and thousands of people have tread the pavements in the past. The street is pure history and it's really nice that they've kept it like it is.
I was a little unsure about posting this one because I thought it a little dark when it's small, however, the big version really pulls you in. Please try it if you have time - press 'L'!
Beginning of a project involving the reflections of windows in portraits of people, mainly females. I hope this will be my exhibition piece for this year at Staffordshire University.

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.
This is an old photo, touched up a little, it is of myself some years ago. I use to go looking for Native American artifacts along rivers, creeks, and streams. Came across this old partial stone dwelling and just happened to have my camera along, my friend snapped this photo ! I've this strange feeling sometimes I've passed this way before around old stone dwellings !

Zagreb is a vibrant city of around a million people. The city boasts a charming medieval 'old city' with architecture and cobbled streets reminiscent of Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other Central-European capitals, though mixed with a strong Italian influence.
I've posted below a few photos of other interesting sights in Zagreb.
Enjoy your day and thanks as always for visiting.
A pelargonium stunned me with its colour one September morning as the rising sun blazed in the window.
Constructed in 1895, in the prominent position next to the Ballarat post office, the Summerscales Building was built for the Ballarat bookseller H. J. Summerscales after receiving a lease on the land next to the post office, the building incorporated parts of the former Mining Board Room.
After six years of successful trading, Mr. Summerscales extended his building in 1901. The new façade blended new architectural details with old, creating a stylish extension to the corner of Camp Street. The 1901 extension continued the theme of red brick construction, and included some beautiful Art Nouveau stained glass windows in the ground floor shop fronts, which would have been very fashionable at the time. The shops leased in the 1901 extension helped to support the Ballarat Library next door in Camp Street.
My neighbours from across the street, the Nelson's are always busy doing something to their home. I caught Mr. Nelson working on a window frame. I think candid shots are the best.

Tarndwarncoort.
The first section of this historic homestead was built in 1848 by Alexander Dennis. He was born in England in 1811 and sailed to Williamstown with his wife and daughter in 1840. They soon settled in the Colac district on a small run of about 5,000 acres. Apart from being a property owner Alex Dennis was also one of the first two magistrates of Colac in August 1849 and later a shire councillor. He held several parcels of land in the district and built the first part of his two storey Tarndwarncoort residence in 1848. An upper floor was added over the rear kitchen wing in 1854. Then the large two storey basalt addition was joined to it in 1877.This new Italianate style homestead was designed by Colac architect Alexander Hamilton. Dennis also had properties in the Wimmera and the Mortlake districts. He always tried to help Aboriginal people and was appointed by the Victorian government as the Local Guardian of Aborigines in the 1860s. He resigned this post in 1879 the same year in which reduced his work as a local magistrate. He was President for Colac Shire for several terms and an active citizen of the district. He was a trustee of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Colac which was erected in 1874 and he donated the funds for the Methodist manse to be built in 1884. He was also a member of the Colac School Board of Advice. He died at Tarndwarncoort in April 1892 at 80 years of age leaving a wife and seven living adult children. He left an estate worth over £105,000 and the lands went to his two sons and his three married daughters received £1,000 each and his two single daughters £8,000. He also left a £400 gift to the Colac Wesleyan Church and around £8,000 to his wife. She died at Tarndwarncoort in 1894. She left her estate to her daughters and nothing to her sons. One of his sons Richard Dennis died at Tarndwarncoort in November 1912. His brother Alexander Dennis then seems to have occupied Tarndwarncoort. In 1925 he was appointed as magistrate of Colac when he was residing there. The Dennis family established their Polwarth flock in 1880 and from 1919 to 1926 Alexander Dennis junior was the president of the Polwarth Sheep Breeders Association. Alexander Dennis junior and his brother Richard were deemed as the founders of the Polwarth breed of sheep. Richard Dennis cross bred Lincoln merino ewes with Merino rams at Carrs Plains near Ararat. Richard Dennis controlled the breeding from 1880 to 1902. He died in 1931 and the property passed to the next generation Mr A.W Dennis. The property was featured in Country Life in Table Talk Melbourne 31 May 1934. The property is now known the Tarndie woolshed store and homestead.
When I heard that our daily challenge was 'framed', I walked round the corner from my work during my lunch break to take these interesting window frames on an old building and to my sheer delight, the sun was casting this fantastic shadow of a tree on the side of the building which I suppose you can say is framed by the building.

COMMENTS AND CRITIQUES REQUESTED: I would really appreciate any comments or suggestions on making this photo better. Also, I would love to know which you like better, the color or b&w and briefly why (link to the other photo is below). I like them both for different reasons. What is your opinion.
This is another photo of Juliette from a while back.
I can't find a lime green car anywhere, but there's certainly no shortage of peeling paint! This is on the side of a former upscale furniture store that has gone out of business.

KMZ Iskra 2.
Russian rangefinder folder 1961~1964
So another screw which fixed the Topcover had to be found.
Major candidates were this screw (red arrow) and the viewfinder windowframe.
From my experience with the Iskra 1 i knew that the windowframe was not removable. Sadly the hamfisted person who tried to get inside before me didn't know and marred the metal trying to remove it with brute force :-(
Another plausible candidate was the screw underneath the viewfinder window. Alas, after 1 turn ccw with the screwdriver it fell out and it turned out to be glued instead of screwed (see red arrows).
This screw is a real mystery to me. At this place inside the camera there is nothing with a thread. I saw a picture from another Iskra 2 which also had this screw. Cannot imagine that it's for decoration. Any information is welcome !
CARBALLINO, SPAIN - MAY 14, 2022: Front picture of an abandoned house in Carballino, Spain, illuminated by the last rays of light before a storm.
Near Renfrew in Ontario, Canada, there is a ghost town named Balaclava. It use to be a saw-mill town. We decided to visit the place and take a few shots. I got myself shooting mostly windows and old wood and paint textures.
Unfortunately, one of the buildings has a sign on it saying that a permit was requested to destroy the general store building to transform it into a commercial lot.
Most of the shots got re-worked with Topaz Adjust 3 to enhance the colors and contrast.
Enjoy,
The former Mining Exchange, 6 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat, is one of the few mining exchanges extant in Australia and is illustrative of a fundamental part of Ballarat's early history. The splendid two storey Victorian building of classical proportions and design was built between 1887 and 1889 to replace an earlier building on the site. Designed by architect Charles Douglas Figgis, who also designed the Ballarat Presbyterian church, it is lined with forty offices, which were once bustling with mining agents, and share brokers. It also housed shops along the ground floor, including Bickart’s Coffee Shop, whose elegantly painted windows with gilt lettering and bobbled curtain swags can still be seen today. There is also a large single storey exchange hall at the rear.
The interior of the Ballarat Mining Exchange is divided into small booths flanking a large hall. A bow fronted cast iron balcony projects above the Lydiard Street entrance. There is a also a secondary, less grand entrance at the opposite end which leads to Camp Street. On the two longitudinal sides of the central hall are arcaded brokers' booths surmountd by arched clerestory windows at the first floor level. Some of the original names and details of the mining brokers may still be seen above the booths today.
When it opened, the Mining Exchange had ninety-eight registered members. However, as gold mining declined as the gold rush turned to bust, the elaborate Mining Exchange found a new life as a garage (the sign for Mobil Oils is still visible on the interior back wall) and was known as the Exchange Garage. Later it became a bus depot. During the Second World War (1939 - 1945), American soliders were billited in the mining exchange. Today is a craft market.

This smart Arts and Crafts style brick villa in the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds features a set of drawing room bay windows with an Arts and Crafts movement stained glass design of a stylised rose and some geometric patterns against a latticed glass background.
I guess this is a 'you've seen it or you haven't' one, but then my last four all went in a flash....
This early tyne cultivator is given a pride of place resting spot. For the last two years only the window frame needs a final coat of paint. Mother nature on the other hand adds her breath-taking autumn colour pallete
Located in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Toorak, Graeme Mansion, built in 1910 by Melbourne architect P. G. Fick (18?? - 1940) is a Grande Dame of Melbourne's glittering turn-of-the-century past.
Built in elegant Art Nouveau style, Graeme Mansion, made of grey stone, is an imposing building which shuns the world beyond the high fence that protects it from the noise of busy Williams Road which it faces onto, and the railway line which it is situated next to. The mansion's name plaque is situated above the front door, below a fan window, and two sets of bay windows with Art Nouveau stained glass panels feature to either side of the front door.
Graeme mansion was built for and named by Ballarat born physician Dr. Francis Armand Nyulasy (1862 - 1934). Sadly, Dr. Nyulasy married late in life and had no children, so his beloved home fell into disrepair and was neglected for a long time. Today it has a new lease of life and a new name, "Toorak Manor", as a quality boutique hotel as such a building at such an address deserves to be.
P. G. Fick also designed the All Saints Anglican Church, hall and vicarage on Chapel Street, East St Kilda in 1908.
