This was a knitting mill, I think. It has now been razed to make way for a Bunnings! Apparently you cannot have too many Bunnings?!

This series of panaramas was taken with a handmade camera using 120 film. The eccentric nature of the image is probably down to the eccentric nature of the camera! My father made it for me out of painted panels of MDF and a bit of twiddling …. oh and really nice Mamiya 1:6.3, 65mm lens. This is one of my favourite driveby images in the city hub. Its looking back towards the city and at the Redfern Housing Commission Blocks at the back edge of Redfern and Surry Hills. If you look really closely you will see a tiny little Centrepoint Tower next to the smallest of the tower blocks. Just over to the right of that in the sky is a tiny little dot which is actally a helicopter flying a huge Aussie flag. Because of the size and quality of the negative, if this was blown up to mural size you would be able to see the all the details on the flag and the helicopter. I would estimate this negative to be the equivent of around 250-300 megapixels. Film will never die! The colour balance is what happened when I scanned it and I love it . It seems to suit the other worldly sense of place in this image. I hope you guys like it too. Below is a thumbnail of some Dad’s camera’s His camera always produced much better photo ’s technically than mine but I maintain that the mistakes I made with mine made for a more interesting image :) /

Window in Liverpool which revolves giving a 3D effect. The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson’s most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool’s city centre literally inside out. One of Wilson’s very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It is on a light sensor and will run during daylight hours. Click here to see the location on Google Maps Co-commissioned by the Liverpool Culture Company and Liverpool Biennial, co-funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency and The Northern Way, and facilitated by Liverpool Vision, the project is a stunning trailblazer for Liverpool’s Year as European Capital of Culture 2008, and the jewel in the crown of the Culture Company’s public art programme. Richard Wilson is one of Britain’s most renowned sculptors. He is internationally celebrated for his interventions in architectural space that draw heavily for their inspiration from the worlds of engineering and construction. Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours. The construction programme started in February 2007 and involves the careful deconstruction of the façade across three floors of the building, which is then reconstructed and fixed to the enormous pivot installed at the heart of the building. This astonishing feat of engineering stuns audiences on many levels. Disturbing and disorientating from a distance, from close-up passers-by have a thrilling experience as the building rotates above them.

The extraordinary creation of visionary architect, Antonio Gaudi. The building represents a dragon, (see the scales), sleeping upon a pile of bones!

The following piece written by Gregoryno6 The Station Master’s Cottage by Gregoryno6 / / It was abandoned long before the railway line was closed. Today it is principally the travellers who see it: a series of glimpses between the trees, as the highway veers to bypass the town. First impressions are often pleasant. In memory, a diseased greyness seeps in. A sense of blight comes down in a heavy curtain and no subsequent viewing, however sunlit, will dispel that. / The town has grown northward, away from the station master’s cottage. Something terrible happened there but the facts are dimly remembered. Few recall the event that overshadows the annual fair. It was no day for festivities in 1952: the station master, his wife and two grown daughters were discovered inside the cottage. The women were found unclothed, in obscene poses; the station master locked himself in his study before cutting his throat with a razor. The town’s policeman let it be understood that no suicide note had been found. In fact, when he broke down the door, he found the station master’s journal beside his chair. / The diary was a catalogue of perversions. From his first days in the town, the station master had recorded his vile amusements. The sergeant was not a religious man. But the book was a burden he could not bear alone; he took it to the station master’s former clergyman, who declared it the work of the devil. They agreed to cast it from this world. Page by page they burnt it in the pastor’s fireplace. / The sergeant was transferred to another town. The pastor was left to grapple with his questions. The station master had been a devout man, regular in his attendance. How could God have permitted such mockery? If ever a man belonged in Hell it was the station master. How could the Lord turn aside and stay His hand when filth such as that sang His praises? Doubts and rough whiskey left the pastor a hollow man. He became obsessed with the cottage – a jeering tribute to depravity. The pastor hoped to see it burn. But he lacked the courage to light the flame. / Faint hearts abet the enemy, and sometimes we betray our finer instincts. We offer aid or consolation and hurry on, disowning the gesture. Evil derides such compulsions. The black hymns of the pit reward pride and passion, and endurance. The darkness is ever rising against the tenuous light. Kindness is fleeting. Evil builds. / And evil waits. There is a boy, impatient to be a man, who looks restlessly for a future beyond the town. Lately he has taken to wandering while his parents sleep; a week ago, distracted by his conflicts, he found himself at the cottage. From the window of the study a bespectacled old man stared down at him. His face was locked in a silent scream – the boy fled. But youth won out over caution and he returned. Last night the old man walked into the boy’s dreams. The boy knows now that this old man is not a man at all… furthermore, he is not screaming. / He is laughing. Best viewed LARGE

MUCH BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE VIEWED LARGER 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 ans 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.
