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.
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.

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.

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 have to admit this photo is "doctored up" as the light was so strong coming in I took two photos and then cut and paste to get this.

This building is in Conwy County Borough in North Wales. It was originally a stable block for a large hotel which was demolished. The stable block has subsequently been used as an employment office and then as a small factory. Although the building needs renovation it is not actually abandoned. Most of the contents of it have been removed, and it is currently awaiting new ownership and occupation.

KMZ Iskra 2.
Russian rangefinder folder 1961~1964
Remember the screw from picture (02) ?
Here you can see that it used to push against the windowframe of the rangefinder (red arrow). Makes no sense !
The green arrow points to a post which is used to fasten both rangefinder and Topcover.
There is a difference with that of the Iskra 1. See here :

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 its semi circular design around the flat's central driveway, 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.
Peering out from the broken shards of glass hanging on to a splintered window frame in the old control room, this view looks out across the width of Pyestock facility's turbine hall. Notice the impressive vertical windows on the opposite wall, which cover the building's whole eastern face and gleam marvellously with light under the right conditions. You can also make out the vertical silhouettes of huge exhaust chimneys outside, which are connected to the compressors here within the hall.

Used as an absorbent of nitroglycerin in the manufacture of dynamite. There is a particular kind of moss growing in the Black Moss which was apparently used to line trenches during the First World War. This corrugated iron house was built to house the people who harvested the moss and prepared it for shipment to France and Flanders. Its curious name looks vaguely German-like, and it may have been prisoners of war who were obliged to live and work here.
Kieselgur is the German name of a natural substance, diatomaceous earth, which is used in filtration, and which was once used in making dynamite. Deposits of so-called 'white peat' on Black Moss were worked in the 19th century. In 1885, 200 tons from each of Black Moss and Ordie Moss nearby were extracted. Six tons of 'white peat' yielded one ton of Kieselgur when dried and it was used in the manufacture of dynamite, paint and other commodities. Diatomite was extracted until the end of WW1. There are still substantial deposits left, but the area is now part of the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve, and the only market for it now is cat litter!

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,
Now, if I'd have had any sense, I'd have taken one from SE Wing too. But of course, I didn't.
I also wasn't quite able to avoid reflections on the secondary glazing, but haven't tried to lose it...
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.
York Restoration Corporation building restoration example of an anodized aluminum window frame + window. These higher-technology window setups are amazing. When you replace your windows, the difference between before and after is simply astounding! If you're short on cash, try replacing the windows out of one of the rooms in your home, preferably, the one you spend the most time in (or the one that gets the most noise from outside.) You'll soon start saving for more new windows. Check out other tips from yorkrestoration.com/blog
Spotted this old window frame at the Hampton Arts and Crafts Festival on Mother's Day and immediately thought of the New Scavenger Hunt! :-)

Two women holding up a wooden window frame. They have just finished constructing it, and are holding it up for the camera. The woman on the left is holding a hammer in her right hand. Behind them, a number of men and women are also standing looking at the camera. They are in a large yard bordered by sheds, and are surrounded by piles of lumber.
The letters Q.M.A.A.C. stand for Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps. During the war, women were involved in a wide variety of non-combatant roles ranging from nursing and driving ambulances to cooking and construction.
