The rain finally eased up toady…..probably because it was back to work after easter..lol / Anyway, I managed to get out after dinner. Went to Merewether Baths and because today was ‘cleaning day’ the pool was empty so I could actually get into it without getting too wet the water was just up to my knees I got a few pics before it was too dark. I am going to post 2 shots of the pump house, both have a very different feel about them and since one of the objects of this site is to actually sell art something I have not been successful with as of late… I wanted to put up both as they will probably appeal to different people…I hope!

I often get questions about the pump house and the diving blocks at Merewether Beach so I found out a bit of info….. 1935 / At a cost of 2,600 pounds, Merewether Ocean Baths, acclaimed as the ‘largest of their kind in the State’ opened as part of the Merewether Golden Jubilee celebrations in November. There was a procession in fancy dress from the Council chambers to the baths. Considered ‘the greatest advertisement for Merewether as a residential suburb’, the new baths had been built further seaward and a little to the south of the older Merewether baths on the same rock platform. At 110 yards by 90 yards, they were ‘big enough to hold the larger swimming events’ and separated into a main pool and a children’s pool by a wide promenade. The main pool nearest the sea was 110 yards long and 55 yards wide, while the shore portion was 110 yards long and 35 yards wide. The 3,500 pounds for relief work on the baths had been paid by the NSW government. Excavation of the baths promised to yield 6,000 to 7,000 cubic yards of stone valued at 2,500 pounds. Merewether Council was seeking a further government loan to cover the construction of dressing-sheds at the baths. The new baths became central to the life of the community and prompted more people from the Lower Hunter district to visit Merewether.

But what is it choosing? / AhhhHHhh, it is a question only you can answer. This fox takes care to co-ordinate it’s clothes and fur, as I’m sure we all do with our clothes and hair.

Oil is the life blood of the planet but at what cost? / The artist was inspired by a childhood toy called a “Glub Glub”

Newcastle Australia has lots of good bikini weather but winter is for brave. Pump Stations for ocean baths still stand at Merewether and here at Newcastle and are being restored. Also good for surfing since the waves get up to 15feet. Don’t surf in those though, they’re dangerous. Besides there’s something familiar looking about that boat top left. As is, no post or Photoshop 400d 18-250

What Price? / So what is the economic, environmental and human cost of oil production and consumption? My attempt at a black on black design. Be brave choose the black option, the quality of the printed result is superb. Have a look at this tee by nofrillsart The design: /

A timeless scene captured in the wonders of dr5 black and white film processing. The Scituate Reservoir is the largest body of fresh water in Rhode Island. The road over the dam that keeps the water within the reservoir has some of the most beautiful views in inland Rhode Island. This historic look was acheived by aiming an antique AGFA Clack camera directly into the sun. No digital manipulation was employed. (c) Paul Lavallee 2007 /

Another view of the Ryhope Pumping Station, a Grade II (starred) listed building in the North East of England. This lovely gothic style building hosts two 100 horsepower beam engines for pumping the water, which are even still occasionally fired up by the kind team of volunteers that now operate this site and make it available for the public to visit.
