That's more like it.

On the other wall adjoining Wayne's Gallery, native animals hide in the forest.

I like Wayne Strickland's paintings, but I do wonder what was in his tea when he painted this World War One meets Pirates of the Carribean with sandcastles piece of wall wonderment.

Feature plant room.

Why why why, when one is spending a zillion dollars on a fancy wall mural to tart the place up, doesn't one make some attempt to hide the air conditioning ducts?

Why do I find this so offensive?

When Denmark was where we got our ice cream from.

A long time ago, we were led to believe that ice cream and hotdogs were a Danish invention. That was before we travelled through Europe and discovered that it was Australian apparently, although here New Zealand ice cream seems to be the most exotic at the moment.

Who knows. But the Danish stuff has moved to bigger and better things no doubt.

How dumb do they think we are?

Surely if we are too blind to see the big yellow thing we are going to be inclined not to see the stripy tape either?

The "F" word.

The word FAT is now so politically incorrect and rude, that bikers are getting custom number plates with it spelled out.

Or does that refer to the width of the rear tyre and not his girlfriend's bottom?

Hats.

Did you notice that almost everyone is wearing a hat?

Welcome to Australia.

Nice Lights!

But who is that guy that always bobs up in the photo?

A difference in interpretation.

Both loved to bits by their owners no doubt, two classic cars separated by a common language!

Abandoned

Today's theme day is "abandoned" and in truth our built environment is so new that it's rare indeed to find anything in a state such as this. I was expecting to have to find a photo of a lost dog, or a lonely thong lying on a beach, but instead I stumbled across an old house.

It won't be there for long, of that one can rest assured. Shortly we'll see a lovely new cream block of flats in its place I'll wager.

Follow this link for more photographs of abandoned stuff around the world.

Abandoned - a day early

Tomorrow is a theme day I'm quite excited about because I picked it. So excited I have two photos, so I can let this one go a day early.

I like the cupboard door handle, I LOVE the colours in the kitchen and I am sad that all that asbestos cladding both in and outside mean that none of this will be preserved.

Learn to dive while we have coffee.

View through a diving class room, with turtle and fish pictures on the walls.

HMAS Brisbane

When they sunk the Brisbane a kilometre or so offshore, they said it would become one of the world's great dive sites. I have no idea whether it is or it isn't, but I'm told it's coral encrusted now and full of the sorts of fishy things that divers love to see.

Is it a lantern or a roof light? Actually it's fake, there's a false ceiling way below with all the air conditioning bits running in it, but it's wearing rather nicely in my humble opinion.

I was so taken with the bare timber and it's remaining paint that looked so much like lichen clinging on for dear life, that I posted this photograph despite its complete absence of any point or merit.
