Dear all. The gift we would like to create in memory of Axel Moore, and in support of the family of a large canvas print of this photo / / taken by Bill Fonseca can now be made. thank you all for your generosity. It is warmly received. Redbubble will contact people individually and facilitate through paypal. / ___________ update 31.12.07 Paypal donations. There are a number of unexpected expenses the family has incurred due to the event, such as the Careflight helicopter coming out, and time off work. These things put an added pressure on a family at times such as these. I have looked into paypal, and it seems it is easy to do if you have the email address, which is family@origoblue.com.au and sign up to paypal here All ways of contributing to the family are greatly appreciated, and really make a difference to their lives. It is a really positive way to help someone when you’re not sure ‘what you can do”-here another way. Thank you all for your generosity. ____________ Nothing will bring Axel back, however, the memory of the community support is the glue that binds us to this earth and each other. The ceremony today was an inspiration to the human spirit. It was touching, it was real and the love people offer just by their presence, I’m sure will help console the family in the smallest of ways in this huge time of change. I know so many people would like to do something ‘real’ to help. If this is you, please feel free to contribute in this way now. kind regards to all. xsunset

Image Collection for Jack’s Bee Farm Calendar My father-in-law, Jack, built this brine tank in the 1950’s to hold the salty water (brine) used to cool the milk when they pasteurized their diary milk. There was no money to hire a carpenter or brick mason so Jack did all the carpentry and laid all the brick by himself. He also built the dairy building behind the brine tank.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery The Sydney Harbour Scissors New South Wales State Parliament House, Sydney, Australia. 1932 was a troubled year in Sydney, with the social and economic hardship of the worldwide economic depression, and political turmoil with the State Government defying the Commonwealth Government., refusing to make interest payments on overseas debts. Amidst these bleak days, the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on March 19, 1932 – the constant talk and wonder of Sydney since construction began in 1924, would begin a few shining days exuberance, national pride and celebration. / The celebrations were paid for by public fundraising. Even the scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony – made by craftsman Les Denham and Norm Neal at the Sydney jewellers Angus and Coote – were donated by British engineering firm, Dorman and Long, builders of the arch. The ribbon would be cut by Labour Premier Jack Lang, opening the way to a huge display of floats, bands, community groups, citizens and the million onlookers who would pour across this new wonder that day. / Moments before Premier Lang advanced to cut the ribbon, a uniformed horseman dashed from the Governor’s escort and cut the ribbon with his sword. The horseman was Francis De Groot, furniture maker and former Captain of the Light Horse, who was a member of the right-wing paramilitary organisation to Lang’s left-wing policies. De Groot was dragged from his horse and taken to a mental institution but released soon afterwards with a modest fine. The ribbon was quickly re-attached and Premier Lang used the scissors to perform the opening as originally intended. / Within two months of the opening, Premier Lang was dismissed from office by the State Governor, Sir Philip Game, who decided that Lang had been acting illegally in refusing to co-operate with Commonwealth. But despite all the controversy, the Bridge instantly became the most enduring and recognisable symbol of Sydney and of a hope for the better future that was to come. / These same scissors have been used by Premiers of New South Wales to open the Sydney Harbour Tunnel in 1992, the Glebe Island Bridge (later renamed the Anzac Bridge) in 1996. They were also used to open the Cross-City Tunnel in 2005.

This is an interior shot of a kiva located at Pecos National Historic Park about 20 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, near the village of Glorieta. Although some were also built above ground, kivas typically are subterranean structures. They are used for secret rituals and religious practices of native tribes inhabiting the southwestern portion of the U.S.. The practice of constructing kivas began with the ancient puebloans in the ninth century and continues to this day. Most intact kivas are under the control of native american tribes and photography is forbidden. Pentax K20D, 5 seconds at F/16, 18mm.

On November 11 “Rememberance Day”, Canadian solders gather at the legislature grounds with canons in tow. The fire the guns followed by a moment of silence. Last year our first heavey snowfall covered the trees and there was a light fog. The canons would fire and the trees would shed there cover. Thick white smoke would envelope the soldiers, giving them a ghostly quality. They remain motionless and unaffected by the enormous blast or the heavy smoke. An amazing surreal scene.

/ / / Over the Easter weekend, I stumbled upon a ceremony at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo while taking some shots. My daughter and I were immediately welcomed, told that this was a Blessing of the Fire and handed candles (even though I had a backpack and camera attached to tripod in hand). / / With choir, small congregation and church staff (is that the right expression?), it was a beautiful ceremony to witness. As the congregation filtered into the doorway with their candles, I remembered that I had the remote shutter just hanging there, still plugged in. So, hoping to capture some of the movement with the candles, I switched it on. Over the next 47 seconds this is what it captured – I had to straighten the picture slightly because I was on a bit of an angle… / At that point, my daughter and I thanked one of the church officials and slipped away to drive back to Geelong (about 2 hours away). / / Definitely a View Largie! / / / /

A Poem-Picture dedicated to the Aboriginal Australian People of the Tiwi Islands. The shape represents a Pukumani burial pole. These Pukumani poles, unique to the Tiwi Islands, are like totem poles, carved and painting in different colors according to each clan. They are poles for the Dead, placed around the grave, to commemorate the deceased and prevent the spirit from entering the camp again. This Pukumani pole is painted in black, red and yellow because they represent the three colors of the Aboriginal Australian Flag

This is a view of the Sanctuary of the 3,500 year old Neolithic ruins, La Hougue Bie, on the channel island of Jersey. This from one side looking to the other, where many of the finds were made. Just to give you some bearings, to the right where the light source is coming from is the chamber entrance, and to the left is the entrance to the terminal chamber, the furthest back section. You can see on the right one of the segmenting stones which separates the sanctuary from the main area, designating it as a special place only for those who are leading the ritual activity (the priest). You can see that this area is raised above the main section where the lateral chambers (the tombs). When this area was first examined in 1924, it was discovered that the sanctuary area with gravel flooring actually had a second layer of gravel underneath at original floor level, indicating that this area was purposely raised to be a specific area of worship. At the rear of the platform was found a cist, containing vase supports and pebbles was found and a small stone lined pit just in front of the entrance of the terminal chamber, neither of which I’m afraid are visible today. About the terminal chamber, the Website states, Located at the “extreme western limit of the main chamber is located the terminal chamber, in contrast to the wide, low-ceilinged lateral chambers with their raised floors, this chamber is a tall, narrow space, almost like a stone telephone box. The chamber has its own capstone and the rear and sides are formed from single walling slabs, there is a small amount of dry stone fill in the lower north western corner, but the chamber is essentially a stone slab box. The eastern wall of the terminal chamber which divides it from the sanctuary area is provided by another large slab which is offset to the south, forming a narrow entrance at its northern edge.” You can also see on the floor to the right, this is the stone slab discovered in 1924 in the main area of the chamber later moved here to be the sill stone. it was discovered in the main area along with two other large slabs that were understood to be the sealing stones of the tombs, or lateral chambers of the main sections. Within the small “niche” or spaces of the sanctuary created by the dividing / segmenting stones stood small standing stones or “betyles”, each around 30cm tall. You can make out one of them, mid right of the photo. You certainly get a feeling of awe just standing here. The site is managed and cared for by the Jersey Heritage Trust, connected to the Société Jersiaise. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 17-35mm wide angle zoom / f/2.8 / 1.3 sec. / Exposure Bias -1.33 / ISO 1000
