Walking Buddha by IndraniGhose

Walking Buddha image with the gesture of imparting fearlessness. The walking Buddha is unique to the Sukhothai (1243) style of sculpture. This asana (posture) is said to symbolize Buddha’s walking down from Tavatisma Heaven after he had visited his mother. Alternately, it has been interpreted as Buddha moving forward to offer the world his teachings. The Buddha has a graceful appearance, as if he was not just walking, but more gliding on air. Shot taken at Wat Sa Si, Sukhothai, Thailand Featured in Historic Places in Nov 09. Featured in Heritage Listed and Other Trusts Sites World Wide in Dec 09.

Vertigo - QVB Building (Colour)- The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson

Thanks for dropping in your viewings,comments and if i’m lucky FAVOURITES are greatly appreciated. The Queen Victoria Building is currently undergoing a facelift at $37.5 / million , one of the features is upgrading the paintwork to victorian period colours. This image shows “The Grand Staircase* of Sydneys Grand Queen Victoria Building, and is an example of how grand old buildings can be restored and still be used as money making concerns, in this case a grand shopping experience The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen – stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists – in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated. The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid / architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building. / The visual message of Sydney’s coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship – trade, and the dolphins – the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB. The symbols are of property developers – the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria’s statue.

York Minster Organ by Jason Connolly

The Minster is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is cathedral for the Diocese of York; it is run by a Dean and Chapter under the Dean of York. The formal title of York Minster is The Cathedral and Metropolitan Church of St Peter in York. Services in the Minster are sometimes regarded as on the high church Anglo-Catholicism side of the Anglican scale. / It has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic choir and east end, and Early English north and south transepts. The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338, and over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window, (finished in 1408), the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each lancet being over 16 metres (52 ft) high. The south transept contains the famous Rose window. / Official York Cathedral website / The fire of 1829 destroyed the organ and the basis of the present organ dates from 1832, when Elliot and Hill constructed a new instrument. This organ was reconstructed in 1859 by William Hill and Sons. The case remained intact, but a large amount of new pipework was introduced. / In 1901, J.W. Walker and Sons undertook reconstruction. Walkers added a considerable amount of new pipework. / A small amount of work was undertaken in 1915 by Harrison & Harrison and the famous Tuba Mirabilis was added. Other minor work was undertaken in fits and starts by the same firm until 1928. In 1961 J.W. Walker rebuilt it, and it was cleaned in 1982. / The fire of 1984 affected the organ but not irreparably; the damage hastened the time for a major restoration, which was begun in 1991 and finished a year later by Geoffrey Coffin, who had at one time been assistant organist at the Minster. / Details of the organ from the National Pipe Organ Register. / Shot handheld with a Nikon D300 and Sigma 10-20mm lens / f5 / 1/30 sec / ISO 2000 / 10mm

Festival scene, Hathor Chapel, Tomb of Hatshepsut by Christopher Biggs

The Hathor Chapel is part of the Tomb of Hatshepsut complex, Luxor (Thebes), Egypt. It has been revealed through archeological excavations and reconstructions beginning in the 1890s. The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut (c.1478/72-1458 B.C.E.) dates from the New Kingdom. It nestles at the foot of the cliffs in a natural “bay” on the West Bank of Luxor. This area had long been sacred to the goddess Hathor and was the site of an earlier mortuary temple/tomb of King Nebhepetre-Mentuhotep (c.2008-1957 B.C.E.) of the Middle Kingdom. After the introduction of Christianity, Hatshepsut’s temple was used as a monastery, hence its modern name, Deir el-Bahri, Arabic for “Northern Monastery.” Hatshepsut (meaning Foremost of Noble Ladies) was a female pharaoh who had herself represented pictorially as a male. She served as co-regent with her nephew Thutmose III (c.1479-1425 B.C.E.). The Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) is the branch of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture responsible for the conservation, protection and regulation of all antiquities and archaeological excavations in Egypt. The SCA is responsible for defining the boundaries around archaeological sites and is also the only agent permitted to restore or preserve Egyptian monuments. Foreign archaeologists working in Egypt are required to report all discoveries and finds to the SCA. The Polish National Academy of Sciences is responsible for the study and restoration of the three levels of the temple. As of spring 1995, the first two levels were almost complete, and the top level was still under reconstruction.
Art Nouveau by Christopher Biggs

Flinders Street Railway Station – Swanston St ticket foyer large window over the ‘clocks’. Extract from the Victorian Heritage Register: Flinders Street Station, designed by railway architect James Fawcett in partnership with railway engineer H P C Ashworth, and won in competition in 1899, but not completed until 1910, is of National social, architectural, aesthetic and technical significance as one of the landmark buildings of Melbourne. Flinders Street Railway Station is of architectural significance as one of the most important and eclectic public buildings in Victoria and as an excellent example of a great railway building of the early 20th century. Described by its architects as ‘French Renaissance in a free manner’. Its eclectic design is unique and it represents an extraordinary example of a building type. In combining elements of French Renaissance sources, overlaid internally with Art Nouveau, it is a building with no direct comparison. The building is important for the extensive use of Art Nouveau motifs, found in the leadlight windows, especially over the main entrances, the pressed metal in the offices, and in some of the iron work. This decoration is attributed to James Fawcett,a noted sculptor/craftsman as well as an architect, whose work was firmly in the style of the Art Nouveau.

Durham Down Under by Ian Ker

Old and new in my hallway in Perth, western Australia. The old print is a coloured reproduction of a 1745 print bought in Durham in 1994 – and carried back, complete with glass and frame, on the plane – probably wouldn’t get away with it now as the glass is a potential weapon. The new photograph was a leaving gift from colleagues a few years ago – from an organisation where I worked with four other Durham University graduates (in a division of about 25 people).

About This Group

It has come to our attention that there is a great interest and pride shown by bubblers in their heritage properties throughout the world. In some countries more properties are listed by the Heritage trusts than by the National trusts and therefore a gap has appeared whereby, up until now, these beautiful properties don’t have a specific group to contribute to. Heritage Listed and Other Trusts Sites World Wide intends to fill that gap!

Only Bubblers who are devoted to their heritage should join.

HDR and photoshop type applications to images will be accepted, but the image should remain identifiable.

Regular competitions will be held, and the winners will become the featured image of the group until the next competition.

Please also when submitting work that you state that your image is of a National Heritage site or National Trust site. Any images that do not have this stated will not be accepted.
