The ‘Fort de la Chartreuse’, which dominates the Amercœur neighborhood of Luik in Belgium, was built between 1817 and 1823 to defend the city.
The fort is built on a strategic height that dominates the valley of the Meuse, which had been occupied by a Carthusian (Ordre des Chartreux) monastery until the French Revolution. The fort was built by the Dutch, who at the time administered southern Belgium.
The fort was abandoned as a fortification by the military in 1891 and was thereafter used as a barracks. From 1914 to 1918 the Germans used it as a prison, and again from 1940 to 1944.
In 1944-1945 it was used by the Americans as a military hospital. The Belgian army left the site in 1988.
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.

Near the corner of busy Wellington Parade at 1081 Hoddle Street stand the very Art Deco "Ascot" bijou flat complex.
On the very border of East Melbourne and Richmond Hill, these wonderful Functionalist Moderne red and brown brick flats with rounded porches, porthole windows 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. "Ascot" does this through its white painted portico, which runs above the windows of both floors.
Whilst once the height of fashion, and the homes of the comfortable "bright young things" of well heeled East Melbourne up until the 1960s (according to a friend that used to go to parties in one of the upper flats), time has not been so kind to "Ascot". Whilst the exterior has been well maintained, it is now a rooming house of sorts, and no longer has the prestige of some of its contemporary Functionalist Moderne apartments in the surrounding streets and cul-de-sacs.

This is some ice that was at the edge of a windowframe.
Just after I took the picture, it melted away quickly from the heat inside the house.
Here's a classic examples of a window restyled! Where once it was looked out of, it now can be looked in to.
We’ve just given her a little trip to the garden! A little distressing with fresh paint and mirror glass turns this throw-away into a treasured keepsake.
This mirror was treated with a coat of dijon mustard paint then covered with a beautiful cottage red.....some light distressing adds even more depth and character! A coat of varathane and two heavy duty hooks for hanging were the finishing touch.

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.

Adding a window framed image to your wall can create a sense of depth and openness to a room, especially a room where there are not many or no windows.
View of black and white dairy cattle and a holstein friesian bull through an old barn window. The bull is looking back inside from outside the window.
Holstein Friesians (often shortened as holsteins) are a breed of cattle known today as the world's highest-production dairy animals. Originating in Europe, Friesians were bred in what is now the Netherlands and more specifically in the two northern provinces of North Holland and Friesland, and northern Germany, more specifically what is now Schleswig-Holstein. The animals were the regional cattle of the Frisians and the Saxons. The Dutch breeders bred and oversaw the development of the breed with the goal of obtaining animals that could best use grass, the area's most abundant resource. Over the centuries, the result was a high-producing, black-and-white dairy cow. It is black and white due to artificial selection by the breeders.
Two days to go till I photograph Dave and Souvy's wedding. We went out to their wedding rehearsal so that I could get a feel for the room and for the kind of shots I could take. I really hope that during the day the room will be a bit brighter. On the plus side, I now have my 18-135mm lens which will probably be my main lens for shooting the wedding and the posed shots.
