Something a little different from me here. A3 shot HDR of the old Convent, Penola Road Mt Gambier this afternoon with powerful stormy clouds in the background. When processing this the effects were quite different than my normal HDR’s but I liked the outcome even though it is almost comic book style. Thought I’d throw it up here for comment both good and bad to see what others think. Not something I’d like to do often but the different style interested me.

!It is the largest castle in Wales and the second largest in Britain, Built mainly between 1268 and 1271, it is an early example of a concentric castle. The west mound was extended south to create a dam across the Nant Gledwr, leading to the formation of a large defensive lake south of the main castle. The dam was fortified on both sides and had a gatehouse to the south which received the access road; this where the town of Caerphilly later grew up. The central island was the site of the main structure of the castle, comprising a retaining wall (the middle ward with gatehouses east and west, and an inner ward with east and west gatehouses and circular corner towers. To the west, a further ditch separated the spur forming a western island; this had a retaining wall, and was levelled, but no stone fortifications were built here. To the north a ditch and bank formed a defensive moat. In the final phase the dam was extended north to form another lake to the north of the moat and bank, and a further moat and bank to the west, while an outer gatehouse and outwork in the middle of the dam gave access to the west. The whole was built over a four year period, and the layout was modified only slightly thereafter. the castle covered an area of 30 acres, making it one of the largest castles in Europe.!

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.

BEST VIEWED LARGER Gladesville Mental Hospital was a psychiatric hospital established in 1838 in the suburb of Gladesville, Sydney, Australia. [edit] Description and history / Prior to 1838, people with mental or emotional problems in the Sydney area were housed in a “lunatic asylum” in Liverpool, a suburb on the south-east fringes of Sydney, or at the Female Factory in Parramatta, twenty-four kilometres west of Sydney. In the 1830s, construction of a purpose-built asylum began on the banks of the Parramatta River, in the area now known as Gladesville. The original sandstone complex was designed by the Colonial Architect, Mortimer Lewis, between 1836 and 1838.[1] Patients were then transferred from Liverpool and the Female Factory.[2] The first supervisor was John Thomas Digby, who sought to improve the treatment of the mentally ill, as did his successor, Frederick Norton Manning. On a visit to Sydney in 1867, Manning was invited by Henry Parkes to become medical superintendent of the Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum. Before accepting, Manning went overseas and studied methods of patient care and administration of asylums; on his return to Sydney he submitted a notable report. He was appointed to Tarban Creek on 15 October 1868 and immediately reported on the isolation of patients from their relations in accommodation best described as ‘prison-like and gloomy’, the inadequate facilities for their gainful employment and recreation and the monotonous diets deficient in both quantity and quality. In January 1869 the asylum’s name was changed to the Hospital for the Insane, Gladesville, wherein patients were to receive treatment rather than be confined in a ‘cemetery for diseased intellects’. By 1879 radical changes in patient care and accommodation had been made. Gladesville was extended and modernized and an asylum for imbeciles set up in Newcastle and a temporary asylum at Cooma. Manning minimized the use of restraint and provided for patient activities Equipment: Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm, Handheld Technique: HDR 5 Bracketted Images, Photomatix 3.2, Capture NX

Also Seen on Flickr Featured in Unwanted , Abandoned & Saved Through Preservation November 2009 Featured in Post Card Style November 2009 Brighton West Pier, derelict and sadly neglected for many years, was a magnificent looking structure epitomising the gilded era of Edwardian Britain. Designed by the famous engineer Eugenius Birch work on construction commenced in 1863. Literally built out of the sea, it rose up on iron columns and finally opened three years later on 5th October 1866, having cost £30,000. Brighton West Pier is 1115ft (337.8m) long and originally consisted of only a wooden promenade deck where the Victorian middle classes could stroll at their leisure, to see and be seen. In 1875 a central bandstand was added, and in 1883 a pavilion was built at the pier head, being subsequently enlarged in 1885. 1886 saw the construction of landing stages that allowed paddle steamers carrying day-trippers to visit the town. The transformation from a promenade pier to a pleasure pier had begun. In 1901 the landing stage was enlarged, and 1903 saw the conversion of the pavilion into a 1000 seater theatre. The last major building work was in 1916, with the removal of the central bandstand and the construction of a 1400 seater concert hall, having first widened the immediate decking area by 14ft (4.2m). This concert hall had survived intact until disaster struck in 2002/3. Brighton West Pier offered plenty of diverse activities, both inside and out. Plays, pantomimes and ballet were performed in the theatre, the pier’s own band played in the concert hall, and swimming, diving and paddle steamer excursions took place around the pier head. In its heyday the pier was playing host to over 2,000,000 people every year. Forced to close, and sectioned during the Second World War, Brighton West Pier had been completely transformed into the more familiar ‘funfair’ type pier when it eventually reopened. The theatre now had a restaurant on the first floor with a games hall beneath, the concert hall became a café, and the normal plethora of dodgems and ghost trains sprawled across the open decking. Brighton West Pier’s popularity started to decline with the advent of the package holiday. Combined with mounting maintenance costs, the seaward end was eventually closed in 1970, and permission for demolition was granted by the state, subject to local council approval. A determined campaign by local residents ensured that this demolition order was never carried out, and in 1975 the owners closed Brighton West Pier. Purchased for a conditional £100 in 1985 by Brighton West Pier Trust, work began on restoration of the structure but was forced to stop in 1989 after suffering additional damage in the great storms of 1987 and 1988. Finally receiving a lottery grant in 1996 and 1998 the Brighton West Pier now looked like it may be saved. Seeing this beautiful structure left to rot and decay aroused great emotion in me at a time when, as a young man I was working in Brighton. Since moving away, it was with great pleasure that I heard that the Brighton West Pier Trust has been campaigning tirelessly to secure the pier’s future. Unfortunately their valiant efforts have been undermined by red tape and legal disputes. On 29th December 2002 the inevitable eventually happened when, during a violent storm, a section of the sub structure collapsed from the area around the concert hall. Although not entirley lost to the sea, the 1916 structure suffered considerable damage as a result and, once again, its future was left hanging (literally) in the balance. Further tragedy struck in the first few weeks of 2003, this time in the form of two separate arson attacks. Consequently, Brighton West Pier’s two unique pleasure buildings were severely damaged. More legal disputes ensued and subsequently the Heritage Lottery Fund decided to withdraw its support, despite a recommendation from English Heritage that the restoration should go ahead. The future of Brighton West Pier now hangs by a very slim thread, its only chance of survival depending upon English Heritage’s alternative and less costly proposal to restore the pier back to its original 1860s appearance, without the theatre and concert hall. Sadly, this is how it stands today…
