One of my few images of a MALE God form… Bacchus represents revelry, drunkeness, poetic intoxication and lust. We all need a bit of his madness in our souls – but not TOO much! / (This manipulation is of a self portrait by flickr user “teenage jesus”) / original photo link / / Available as a Poster!

Bacchus (Roman Myth names), the god of wine, was the son of Jupiter and Semele. Dionysus (Greek Myth names), the god of wine, was the son of Zeus and Semele. He represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but its social and beneficent influences likewise, so that he is viewed as the promoter of civilization, and a lawgiver and lover of peace. / T_SHIRT / ALSO AVAILABLE / AKINOLAUDE /

This image was 12 months in the making. The Avenue of Honour is 3km long and is the main entrance to the township of Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, Australia. It has taken on almost iconic status in the town, having been planted in 1918 at the sound of a bugle, as tribute to local people who enlisted in the First World War. Thought to be Canadian , English or Dutch elms, the Avenue now has about 300 mature trees and is classified by the National Trust.

Okay, so it’s winter. But this is what the Avenue looks like as of today (Tuesday 26 June) due no doubt to a very mixed bag of seasons this year. Bacchus Marshians are proud of their Avenue, about 5km of elm trees leading into the town. Spectacular all year round – in summer, lush and green; in spring, showering blossoms in almost fairy tale manner; in winter – bare and foreboding and in autumn a flame of colour. When it’s windy, take an alternative route – when they come down, those 90 year old elms do a fair bit of damage!

Διόνυσος: I begin to sing of ivy-crowned Dionysus, the loud-crying god, splendid son of Zeus and glorious Semele. The rich-haired Nymphs received him in their bosoms from the lord his father and fostered and nurtured him carefully in the dells of Nysa, where by the will of his father he grew up in a sweet-smelling cave, being reckoned among the immortals. But when the goddesses had brought him up, a god oft hymned, then began he to wander continually through the woody coombes, thickly wreathed with ivy and laurel. And the Nymphs followed in his train with him for their leader; and the boundless forest was filled with their outcry. And so hail to you, Dionysus, god of abundant clusters! Grant that we may come again rejoicing to this season, and from that season onwards for many a year. / —Homeric Hymn to Dionysos.26.1–10 More Olympians

The new wheelwright display at the Blacksmith Cottage and Forge in Bacchus Marsh was officially opened on Sunday 20 May 07, providing information on the old craft and complimenting nicely the existings displays in the cottage. Open most weekends, the cottage, Forge Book Barn and wheelwright shed are an interesting peek at life 150 years ago.

Fireplace in the Blacksmith Forge at Bacchus Marsh surrounded by branding irons and old tools, donated by locals to add to the display in this historic building. The Forge is now a second hand books shop run by volunteers to raise funds for restoration works at the Blacksmith Cottage and Forge.

New lights installed at a local sports ground meant clubs would not lose their evening activities post-daylight savings. Low light, blurred images of people and dogs in a sphere that also shows red soil. It may not be great photography, but I like it; it reminds me of an artist whose name escapes me – red earth, picket fences, street cricket and those sorts of things.

You’re riding along the muddy road to Ballarat and your horse has thrown a shoe. The blacksmith on the corner is open for business, you can see smoke coming from the chimney of his forge next door to the cottage. It all looks very inviting. / The Blacksmith Cottage and Forge are features of the main street of Bacchus Marsh. It’s open most weekends – with the new wheelwright shed at the rear officially opened today (20/05/07). A rather nice piece of local history lovingly maintained by local volunteers.

The red carpet was rolled out / period car parked at the kerb / and the foyer was abuzz for / the Not Your Average Theatre Production of / Singin’ in the Rain / (set in 1927, the same year the theatre was originally opened). The audience is seated, the orchestra strikes up and the spots are all on centre stage.
