Church Service - Hill End - The HDR Series by Philip Johnson
BETTER VIEWED LARGER The Historic Gold Mining Village of Hill End 3 1/2 hours drive from Sydney, the village is located in the middle of a National Park , and kangaroos seem to outnumber the residents. These two were waiting for church to start. The church is St Pauls and dates back to the 1870’s For those visiting Sydney , free some time to travel west of Sydney, you will experience the wonders of National Parks and World Heritage areas, old gold mining towns, old towns . And vineyards and wonderous scenery that is the true Australian landscape. Hill End NSW / In October 1872 the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co. uncovered what was, at the time, the world’s largest specimen of reef gold. ‘Holtermann’s Nugget’, as it was known, weighed 286 kg and measured 150 cm by 66 cm with an average thickness of 10 cm. That week alone, over 700 kilograms of gold were carted away from Hill End by the gold escort. In all the amount of gold extracted at Hill End was greater than any goldfield in NSW other than Canbelego VIEW THE HILL END HDR SERIES / Hill End – HDR Series Series

Strangers in the night by Dragan Petrovic
November 8, 2009…Surprisingly warm sunday night in downtown Chicago and restaaurants had outdoor tables going. There is a restaurant just to the right of the image where I was standing. This couple stood up and for a moment they were discussing wheather they should take a cab or walk. Girl argued for a walk: “irresistible weather, it is so romantic…” and they slowly walked away as I was setting up my gear. “First date” thought crossed my mind. When I walked away, I started to whistle Sinatra’s “Strangers in the night”.

Coastal Architecture by Ree Reid
This was taken just after dawn on a very cold Winter morning. I usually do sunrises in the cold weather. I think the colder the weather is, the better the sunrise.

Local beach scene by georgieboy98
As most of you know by now, we live in the quiet (at present) and delightful Indian ocean side township of Yanchep, some 55 kms north of Perth in Western Australia. The beaches are less than 5 minutes away in the car and I took this photo yesterday afternoon, (Friday 20 Nov) / The nearest red roof building you can see is a beachside cafe/kiosk (their fish and chips are great by the way!) / On the left – and out of shot – a large housing development is taking place and the eventual plans show that we can expect to see promenades, cafes, small hotels etc. It wont be our sleepy little Yanchep for much longer. / Camera Sony DSC R1. / 24-120 Carl Zeiss Vario Zonnar lens with cp filter / f11 at 1/250th second / hand held

The Old Post Office by Cora Wandel
The Old Post Office was built from 1892 to 1899, and when completed was the largest office building and first building incorporating a steel frame in Washington, D.C. The building has had a notorious history beginning with the opening ceremonies when the Postmaster of Washington fell to his death down an elevator shaft. The building’s history as the main Post Office of Washington was cut short fifteen years after it opened when in 1914 it was decided to move the city’s main postal operation to a more centralized location in the District of Columbia. At that time the relatively new building was dubbed the “old” post office, a name that is still with it today nearly a century later. The most recognizable feature of the Old Post Office is its 315-foot high clock tower which makes the building the third tallest structure in Washington, behind the Washington Monument which is the tallest and then the United States Capitol. Today the Old Post Office is also the largest commercial building in the District. In addition to the clock tower, the building is well-known for its expansive interior atrium which is home to popular shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities. This is a photograph of the atrium’s high glass ceiling with the famous clock tower centered in the background. Source: Wikipedia Thank you to the group “Historic Places” for featuring this photograph. The Old Post Office has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. This photograph is “as is” from the camera, there was no post processing. Camera: Canon Rebel XTi 400D

Egglesfeld by Brian Mellor
In the Norman Domesday book, Ecclesfield church was called Egglesfeld which means ’ church in a field.’ / There had been a church in Ecclesfield long before the Norman conquest of 1066. In saxon times it was the mother church of the huge moorland area of the parish of West Riding in Yorkshire covering 50 000 acres. / After the conquest, the church was given to the Benedictine Abbey of St. Wandrille near Rouen in Normandy. In the 1380’s, Richard the Second dissolved all foreign priories and gave the church to the Carthusian Priory of St. Anne in Coventry. / The church was eventually passed back into the ownership of the Lords of Hallamshire after the reformation during the reign of Henry the Eighth. / The present church is late medieval/early tudor….rebuilding started around 1478 during the reign of Edward the Fourth and was completed in 1500 when Henry the Seventh, the first of the Tudor dynasty was on the throne. The inside does retain some parts of the original Norman church.

Casa Loma by Stan Wojtaszek
Casa Loma , the former estate of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, a prominent Toronto financier, industrialist and military man. An unabashed romantic, Sir Henry engaged the noted architect E. J. Lennox to help him realize a life-long dream – the creation of a “medieval” castle on the brow of a hill overlooking Toronto. Begun in 1911, it took 300 men nearly three years to comlete and cost $3,500,000 at that time. Sir Henry and his wife Lady Mary enjoyed Casa Loma for less than ten years before financial misfortune forced him to abandon his castle home. Owned by the City of Toronto and operated by the Kiwanis Club of Casa Loma since 1937. (Description copied from the visitors’ brochure) Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Olympus E-3, 12-60mm / ISO 100, f 3.2, 1/1250 sec. / 24mm equivalent focal length.
