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.

Taken in downtown Seattle after Hempfest '09. Brendan and I were walking around doing some random shooting on foot.
On the way to our destination, taking the shot somehow turned into a dare, which resulted in this photo.
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.

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.

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 !

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.

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
i pressed a cardboard plate in the windowframe, to prevent light coming out of the bathroom in the early morning with this sunny weather.
On the corner of busy Williams Road and quiet Rathmines Street in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Toorak stand the "Park Manor" flat complex.
These wonderful Streamline Moderne brown brick flats with rounded porches and balconies, horizontally styled balustrades and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular worldwide in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Streamline Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. "Park Manor" does this through the horizontal windows along the wide expanses of bricks and the porches and balconies that extend from the centralised trapezoid tower.
As when they were built, these spacious flats are for the well-heeled citizens of Melbourne, and they are exceptionally well maintained.
Took this one while walking Holly's dog this morning. This wasn't a set up one at all, more of a pot luck shot. It's a strange little wooded bit here, it goes down to a little lake at the bottom. But right behind the camera is a massive open field. Weird.
There isn't a set up shot for this really, I just took a picture on a walk.....my bad.
Follow me on Twitter, I'll post set up shots onto there everyday
I slacked around for a bit and then i almost forgot to get a picture in by Saturday. Whoops.
I put my camera on a tripod on the fire escape and got a shot of us near my oxalis. It was a major PITA and this was the best shot of Marco I got. Its pretty low light outside right now and Marco kept moving and turning into blurry spots in the shots. I'm not crazy about how i look but he's the star right? I must say, he put on a very pretty face in this one! I also have no clue what actually caught his attention because he wouldn't focus on anything i did.
I cropped the shot a bit, made it a yellow/red variation and played with the contrast and brightness.
Tata was the town of water mills in the Turks time as well. It had more than 20 mills. The oldest one is the so called Cifra Mill, this is the oldest monument of Tata. It already stood in 1587. The 16th-century Cifra Mill, east of the castle, is interesting only for its red marble window frames and five, rapidly deteriorating, water wheels visible from the north side.

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.

These wonderful Functionalist Moderne red and brown brick flats with a rounded porch, porthole windows (featuring leaping gazelles) and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Functionalist Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. Even the balustrade to the far right of the photograph, and the two lamps on the wall just above it are Functionalist Moderne in design.
This stylish Art Deco block of two flats, featuring one dwelling above the other with an interconnecting staircase would have suited those of comfortable means who could afford to live in Trvancore (the suburb in which these flats are located), and dispense with the difficulties of keeping a large retinue of staff.
Travancore is a bijou suburb named after a beautiful Victorian mansion erected in 1863. The mansion's grounds were subdivided in the late 1890s to form the new suburb, which consists only of only about five streets. With commanding views of Royal Park, the area was much sought after by aspiring middle and upper middle-class citizens.

The oldest part of the present building at Astley Hall, Chorley, Lancashire, has been dated to around 1580, after Charnock Hall had been destroyed by fire and Robert Charnock came to live here. His grandson, also called Robert and nicknamed 'Captain One Eye' for his exploits during the Civil War, was the last in the Charnock male line. The Brooke family, who took over the Hall, carried out considerable alterations and extensions and by the end of the 17th century Astley Hall looked much as it does today, apart from the stucco put over the brickwork at a later date.
Many of Astley Hall's legends come from the time of the Civil War. In 1648 Oliver Cromwell is said to have spent the night here and the fourposter bed he slept in is still in the main bedroom. He even left a pair of his riding boots. His ghost has supposedly been seen at the Hall - perhaps in search of his lost boots?
Both visitors to and workers at Astley Hall have frequently been witness to ghostly manifestations. A man dressed in the clothes of a typical country gentleman of the early 20th century is seen to enter the hallway through the front door and walk up the stairs, accompanied by a young girl. At first sighting these were mistaken for visitors who had omitted to pay their entrance fee but, when pursued, both figures disappeared into thin air. This occurence has happened so often since then that the custodians have given up trying to collect their fees. The gentleman is popularly thought to be Reginald Tatton, who was the last private owner of the Hall and bequeathed it to Chorley as a museum and War Memorial in 1922.
In the splendid period kitchen at the Hall a custodian has reported seeing an apparition of a Victorian maid, standing by the fireplace, and on another occasion has entered the kitchen to find the stuffed game birds, which form part of the display, taken down from the walls and piled in the middle of the floor. The same lady has heard laughter and singing echoing from empty rooms and the rattling of windowframes when there was no wind.
In 1989 a group of Liverpool war veterans visited the Hall. Some of them came back later that year and asked to meet the female guide in Elizabethan costume who had greeted them on the stairs. No such guide had ever worked there....
Here was a Jacksonville gay bar architectural ornamentation, of white windowless windowframes and pilasters connected by arcs, on moderately brown stucco.

In Jacksonville Beach, Florida, on March 7th, 2019, the former "Bo's Coral Reef" gay bar, closed closed in January 2019, at the northwest corner of 2nd Street North and 5th Avenue North.
The building is from 1954 but the ornamentation, who knows.

Day seven and there isn't really much time to take a photo today. So this is the view out of Holly's window in the morning, it's a rainy day but I think that helped make it quite a dark and bleak view. I like how all the ivy surrounds the window and creates a second frame. Again no set up for this really, just a simple view out of the window.
Follow me on Twitter, I'll post set up shots onto there

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.
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.

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.
The £600,000 Gable end restoration at Preston Railway Station, part of the Great North Rail Project
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.
Catching up with myself here, as I'm a little short on time at the moment. Whilst this image does resort to clichés this child's bedroom window, with the little transparent pictures stuck to it and the edge of a truck or train just visible, caught my eye when I was out this morning. I think there is something sweet about this window (and very tidy too, unlike my child's room, lol), which is why I used the polaroid effect as there is something sweetly nostalgic about polaroid images. ODC SWEET and TRANSPARENT
