The old Stiglitz Hotel sits at the top of a gravel track looking down on the old wooden bridge. Stiglitz is a historic gold mining town near Geelong.
Ever slept in a cave? I have, and it was very comfortable indeed. So comfortable in fact that I felt the need to grab a shot just as a reminder.
Taken near Queenstown. The dark frame is actually the edge of the 35mm film, captured during the scan- I kept it in this photo simply coz I felt like it…..

Night Scene
During my band’s second national tour, we played a date in Asbury Park, where we had the pleasure of bedding down at the Berkeley-Carteret for the night. I had vivid dreams while tucked into that enormous fin-de-seicle bed. Dreams of women in white lawn dresses strolling on the boardwalk, arm in arm with men in skimmer hats and seersucker suits. Asbury Park stayed with me; as Morrissey put it, “a seaside town they forgot to close down.” Incidentally, for you fellow history geeks out there, Berkeley and Carteret were the two English aristocrats who, after a good deal of confusion and changing-of-hands, founded the colony of New Jersey.
In Berlin Spandau (Germany)...
The hotel is gone and the marina in a mess from Hurricane Katrina, but the lighthouse still stands with a bit of damage
This is the corner of the building, very impressive and imposing if you ask me, and also very exciting when you are walking up to the site for the first time before going in!
BETTER VIEWED LARGER Built originally as Dodds Family Hotel and later becoming a residence, is Athol. Its 1890 facade is stuccoed and parapetted and there are facetted bay windows to either end, with a bullnose verandah and decorative iron frieze in between the bays. In Hill End’s boom period there were 51 pubs in and at times that was not enough accommodation, so people slept on floors, billiard tables and whereever they could. Dodd’s hotel is thought to predate it’s facade possibly dating back the 1870’s The colouring of this shot is exagerated from Tone mapping , but it adds to a classic building VIEW THE HILL END HDR SERIES / Hill End – HDR Series Series /

This is the City Hall (Hotel de Ville) in Sherbrooke, Quebec where I lived. My wife and I were walking downtown one night and I had the camera so we figured why not have some fun.

Shot in Fleetwood lancashire. / Fleetwood’s North Euston Hotel is part glorious folly, part historical curiosity, but mostly a reminder that those visionary Victorians did not get everything right. Commissioned in 1837, designed by leading architect Decimus Burton and opened at enormous expense in 1841, the crescent-shaped edifice was meant to make an enforced stop on the journey from London to Scotland as glamorous as possible. No one thought the new railway system would be able to negotiate the Cumbrian hills, so the most feasible plan would be to catch a train from Euston to Lancashire, take a boat to Ardrossan and complete the journey by train from there. Unfortunately, in 1850 the railway made it over Shap in 1850, effectively shunting the North Euston into a siding. There is still no urgent reason for anyone to travel to Fleetwood, though ironically, the hotel now comes close to providing one. Fleetwood is unique because it is the only town in the United Kingdom to possess three lighthouses. The Beach Lighthouse (also known as the Lower Light) is a 44-foot (13 m) tall sandstone lighthouse situated in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. The lighthouse was designed in 1839 by Decimus Burton and Capt H.M. Denham. Burton has been commissioned three years previously by Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood as the architect of the new town of Fleetwood. Unusual for a lighthouse it is in neoclassical style with a square colonnaded base, square tower, and octagonal lantern and gallery. The ‘Lower Light’ stands on Fleetwood sea front and was built with its pair the ‘Upper Light’ or Pharos lighthouse to provide a navigational guide to shipping entering the Wyre estuary. Togeather the Lights provide a leading line when the Pharos light is directly above that of the Lower Light. In turn they point to the Wyre Light on the North Wharf Bank, 2 nautical miles offshore. Both lighthouses were first illuminated (December 1, 1840). Togeather they provide a range of about 12 nautical miles (22 km). The lighthouse is managed by the Port of Fleetwood.
