I spent a delightful Saturday with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in the Yarra Valley, where we visited the picturesque Alowyn Gardens, which I had never heard of before, before having luncheon at the Yarrawood Winery.
The Alowyn Gardens are just outside Yarra Glen, east of Melbourne, in wine making country. The Alowyn Gardens started as weed and blackberry infested paddocks that were formerly part of a horse stud. The land was cleared in 1997 before revitalisation of the soil was conducted. Two years later in 1999 the first tree was planted. Today the Alowyn Gardens are well established, and provide an informative and educational experience for visitors. It has been designed with shade and comfort in mind. Plant names are on view to educate visitors about the gardens. The gardens have one of the largest Japanese Wisteria arbours as their centrepiece. Off it visitors may wander through seven very different styles of gardens, from the formal to the informal, European to Australian. The Native Garden is based on Australian plantings and features a dam and wetland area for animals, including a profusion of frogs and a great deal of birdlife. The Display Garden is a collection of courtyards and small gardens featuring collections of interesting plantings. The idea of the Display garden is to demonstrate what can be achieved in small spaces. The Edible Garden as the name suggests, shows that kitchen gardens can be beautiful as well as functional with rows of fruit trees, vegetable and medicinal gardens and a number of edible flowers that are both tasty and beautiful. The Birch and Casuarina Forest offers a woodland with enchanting hidden dells and contains a historical miner's hut. The Perennial Border contains herbaceous plants which are tough and hardy, survive with minimal work and are able to cope with Australia's hot summers and cold Yarra Valley winters. The Parterre Garden is based on the 15th Century French Renaissance design principles of low formal hedges formed into patterns. The French Provincial Garden is the largest of all the gardens and is surrounded by avenues of Chinese Elm, Crab Apple and Canadian Maple trees. It has large lawns, and a long water feature that runs the width of the garden.

This "Vintage Bicycle" print is a reproduction from an antique mechanical catalog, circa 1849. I digitally restored it, made some choice enhancements, and voila!
Here is the technical stuff but to me its just my favorite bridge!
Brielle, NJ : Glimmer Glass Drawbridge 108-year old, wooden-framed drawbridge. Only one of its kind in NJ. A bascule bridge- a French design (1890's)-that uses rolling counterweights at one end to cause the other end to pivot.
This illustration is a reproduction from a limited edition children's schoolbook about the Earth, circa 1949. I restored it digitally, made some choice enhancements, and voila!

A yurt (üi or kiz üi in Kazakh, ger in Mongolian) is a portable, felt-covered, wood lattice-framed dwelling structure traditionally used by Turkic and Mongolian nomads in the steppes of Central Asia. A yurt is more home-like than a tent in shape and build, with thicker walls. In the United States and Canada, yurts are made using hi-tech materials. They are highly engineered and built for extreme weather conditions.

Fakir Abdul Raheem Garhori (Sindhi: فقیر عبد الرحيم) was a great saint and poet of the Indian subcontinent. Faqir Abdul Raheem Garhori belonged to the Mangrio tribe and his father's name was Sadullah Mangrio.
In 1739 CE (1152 A.H.), Garhori was born in Ranipur, Khayrpur, Sindh. Shaikh Fakir Abdul Raheem Garhori was the caliph of Sultan-ul-Auliya Khuwaja Mohammad Zamman Lanwari Sharif. He was a great commander who fought against the Sikhs in those areas and defeated them everywhere. He was considered a Shaheed at age 40 in 1192 A.H. The father of Abdul Raheem Garhori was dead before this occurrence but his mother remained alive till his Shahdat.
Garhori Sahab had five marriages and had four daughters and one son who died when he was five years old. In Garhor there is a shrine devoted to Abdul Raheem Garhori .
Recently Dr. N. A Baloch reearched that the Grohirri Sahab was born in village "Warr", Taluka Khipro, Dist Sanghar.
This structure, the only remaining covered bridge in Ontario was designed by John Bear in 1880. Built by John and his brother Benjamin, the 198 foot bridge was covered to protect the wooden frame and floor against the elements. It later came to be known as the 'Kissing Bridge'.
Used by thousands of commuters between the provincial city of Ballarat and Victoria’s capital city, Melbourne, the Ballarat railway station on Lydiard Street, is of great historical and architectural value. A notable design in the conservative Classical manner, the building is distinguished by its elevated pedimented portico, clock tower and arcade, and by the enclosed platform shed, which is very uncommon and is distinctively detailed. This wonderful example of Ballarat’s early great architecture is a prime example of late Nineteenth Century railway systems built to the best of British design, standards and construction.
The station was constructed when the railway line first began servicing the city in 1862. The railway station acted as a catalyst for the development of the northern part of Lydiard Street throughout the Nineteenth Century. As Ballarat was founded on the wealth produced by gold mining activity, it played a crucial part in the city’s development.
The Ballarat railway station is a stuccoed brick complex comprising the initial platform shed built in 1862 which served as the original station, and the entrance building built some twenty-six years later between 1877 and 1889. The platform shed features broken pedimented gables with Tuscan pilasters about the elliptical arched train entrance. The railways station tower makes it one of the grandest buildings in Ballarat and features gabled pavilions, an arcaded main facade, faced Tuscan pilasters and entablature. It has a beautiful domed roof which still features its original slate tiles, and the tower still has a working clock.

28/09 - Another picture of Stokesay castle - this time given a treatment that I think works really well for the subject matter! Edited this one with a combination of Capture NX2 and GIMP:
In Capture NX2
- Altered white balance and picture control (from Vivid to Neutral)
- Tweaked the overall curves to bring in the black point and ever-so-slightly darken
- Used the auto-distortion correction
- Patched a couple of distracting specks of light in the door
- Straightened
- Converted to black and white
- Added a grain layer
- Colourised to a deep orange with Normal blending mode and 14% opacity
In GIMP
- Added a new layer and used this fantastic texture courtesy of www.flickr.com/photos/ajawin/.
- Stretched the texture to the size of the image
- Set the image to 'Overlay' mode
- Duplicated the layer twice to add more depth
- Tweaked the masks on the image layers so the image didn't appear on the ragged corners
One of a kind 8x8" picture frame that I painted and decoupaged with recycled comic book pages. This one was one of my personal favorites.
