Leaning forward Monsieur asked coldly and carefully:”What did you do in Paris?” to which I responded briefly and warmly “We had a good time.” —E. E. Cumming
Zach hadn’t seen Ava in a couple of days so when she walked through the door he said ” Ava give me a kiss, I’ve missed you” I thought it was just too cute to pass up so I had my camera and just caught it right in time!!!

An abandoned Victorian Italianate style house (c.1880-90) in Annandale, an inner city suburb of Sydney. Sitting proudly in a corner position of this hip and happening suburb, it had once been loved and cared for – if you look closely, you can see that one of the previous owners, at some stage, installed an alarm – a measure sure to deter possible intruders. Today, some of the lacework is missing, the fence posts have deteriorated, the concrete probably has cancer, the garden is full of weeds, steps to the front door are missing…will nobody love it anymore?
Would you? Yeah, I would too. jL
BEST VIEWED LARGER / HAPPY HALLOWEEN / Caught this at the Sydney Group Meet – Eerie Is’nt it ? The doors of the St Michael the Archangel Chapel (commenced in 1886) . Rookwood Necropolis, at 283 hectares (700 acres), is one of the largest burial grounds in the world and one of Australia’s oldest cemeteries. It has been in continual use since it was established in 1868 and over 800,000 people have been interred within the grounds. The headstones and monuments reflect the history of the colony Of New South Wales and the development of the city of Sydney. The heritage values of the cemetery are protected by an act of Parliament. / / The original 81 hectare (200 acre) heritage area, located in the north western corner of the Necropolis, is subject to a Permanent Conservation Order and represents the largest and one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian public cemetery anywhere in the world. Rookwood was originally designed in the grand gardenesque style, fashionable in the mid to late 19th Century. The brick gutters which defined the ornate landscaping can still be seen, together with the highly decorative monuments and other features including the chapel of St Michael the Archangel and the Serpentine Canal with its elegant ponds, bridges and urns. These were set in formal gardens with rest houses to cater for mourners and visitors This shot was the result of a Sydney group meetup on Saturday 14th June, the site definitely has a feel to it. Ive never seen so many black crows . The site definitely has an atmosphere with graves dating back to the early days of the colony.. In its day there was a rail service with a special funeral train that left from a purpose built station at Sydney’s Central Railway station. Unfortunately the special platforms at Rookwood being demolished, but the “Mortuary Station” still exists at Central Station. you can get an idea what these stations looked like at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regents_Street_railway_station,_Sydney
After the storm. It was a peaceful night at Lake Ireland. Nobody was there except a marmut and us. / Yosemite. I Will Remember / Queensryche There’s a cold wind out tonight. / The chill of distant eyes. / An orbit survey finds…your mind. I will remember, you will remember / The star that came tonight… / There’s a thought that fills your mind, / a vision of a time when knowledge / was confined and then we wonder how machines / can steal each others’ dreams from points that are unseen…it’s real. When you gaze at the evening sky / and you’re reaching out with your mind / you might see the nation’s eyes don’t hide…it’s you. Oh can’t you see the light of the knowing star.
