About the year 1840 the Stirling family, owners of Muiravonside Estate, (now Muiravonside Country Park, near Whitecross, Falkirk District, Scotland) constructed two large capacity lime kilns near to the Union Canal and hid them behind a classical facade of masonry. Although they were in operation for around only ten years their remains still loom over the small stream below in which the lime would have been treated.

This kiln built in 1815 at Swinton, South Yorkshire was once part of a thriving pottery business, since it’s closure in 1842 it was converted to a dwelling with a door and windows being put in. In 1900 it was used as a smallpox isolation hospital for thirty years. / Then it went back to being a private house again for so long. / Hope you like it, I just love the shape of this building and it’s varied history!.
A variation on the Waterloo Pottery Kiln I have added earlier. I think this is such a great shape, keep thinking of old glass milk bottles!.
An Oast House is a building containing an oast (a kiln for drying hops); usually has a conical or pyramidal roof. New Norfolk, in southern Tasmania was once famous for Hop-Growing, but sadly this is now history, and many of the Oast Houses have disappeared. This one I captured while looking through a hawthorn hedge at New Norfolk, Southern Tasmania.
“The Wildrose Charcoal Kilns” was featured in the groups United States and Heritage in Stone. Photo taken in April 2007 with a Canon PowerShot S70 camera. / Exposure time 1/1000 s. In 1877 George Hearst’s Modock Consolidated Mining Company completed construction of the charcoal kilns in Wildrose Canyon. The charcoal produced by the kilns was to be used as fuel for two silver-lead smelters that Hearst had built in the Argus Range 25 miles to the west. The kilns operated until the summer of 1878 when the Argus mines, due to deteriorating ore quality, closed and the furnaces shut down. The Wildrose kilns employed about 40 woodcutters and associated workmen, and the town of Wildrose, a temporary camp located somewhere nearby, was home to about 100 people. Remi Nadeau’s Cerro Gordo Freighting Company hauled the charcoal to the smelters by pack train and wagon. / / Each of the 10 kilns stands about 25 feet tall and has a circumference of approximately 30 feet. Each kiln held 42 cords of pinyon pine logs and would, after burning for a week, produce 2,000 bushels of charcoal. / / Considered to be the best surviving examples of such kilns to be found in the western states, the kilns owe their longevity to fine workmanship and to the fact that they were in use for such a short time. / / The Wildrose Charcoal kilns are located in Wildrose Canyon on the western side of Death Valley National Park. Access the Wildrose Canyon road from California Highway 178 between Trona and Panamint Springs. From California Highway 190, take the Emigrant Canyon road south to the turnoff up the Wildrose Canyon road to the kilns. The last 3 miles of the road are unpaved and the road is subject to storm closures. (http://www.nps.gov/archive/deva/Charcoal.htm)

Abandoned brickworks near Melbourne.
This image did well in the recent City of Belmont Photographic Awards. These are chimneys that are part of the heritage listed brick kilns. I like the combination of the old and the new. Sunrise on a very overcast day – HDR image – five exposures.

This is how it feels / When you wait for a call that never comes / Are you waking up ‘cause you miss someone / This is how it feels / When the trust you had is broken, / And you’re left to burn with your heart wide open Do you only want me / ‘cause you can’t have me / Do you only want me / ‘cause I’m gone / Do you only want me / ‘cause you can’t have me / Do you only want me / ‘cause I’m gone
After battling with the sky to burn in some definition I stepped back, decided that it seemed to be boiling out of the nearest hopper in quite a dramatic fashion and that it was ok by me after all…
The central section of the 3rd floor at ABM is a maze of low hanging ducts and floor mounted seed drills. There must have been a gantry at some point since it’s unlikely that workers would duck down to reach the far end of the room.
My first sculpture piece EVER. My first time ever working with clay to make artwork, also my first artwork based on a vegetable or other foodstuff. I think its also my first physical mixed media artwork too – with the nails in the top curl/stalk / This was totally off on a tangent from what my tutor had advised the art students to do…they got a drainpipe, put clay around it, smoothed it and just pressed things in. I did this. It didn’t involve drainpipes. / I put the garnet glaze (on the top curl/stalk and the interior) and then fired the sculpture at a higher temperature than recommended, so some of it burnt off. This means that the glaze stayed in the deeper parts of the sculpture, defining it and giving it a slightly burnt look.
Another image from my ‘green room’ series, shot at ABM. This time I elected to concentrate on light and composition instead of colour. It would have been so easy to crank up the red on the ‘Ladder Safety’ poster… but I like the darker B&W mood here rather more. At full magnification it is still possible to read every word of the ‘Ode to Roger’ pinned on the noticeboard.

Some of the remains of the old Barwonside Tannery established by James Munday, around 1870, along the banks of the Barwon River, Geelong. This is one of many fellmongering and tanning businesses established in the area surrounding the river. / The Barwonside Tannery produced fancy leathers, such as moroccos, kid and coloured roans, while his original tannery, across the river( established in 1866) continued producing ordinary leather for shoe soles and uppers.
