Good to see a euro splash of colour amongst the usual drab boring inner city Sydney ‘architecture’

Snow monkey king

anubis2020 — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:30:03 +0000

The Snow Monkeys of Jigokudani near Shiga Kogen, Nagano.

After two kilometers of very snowy forest trail we came upon this amazing scene.

It’s good to be the king, but judging by the missing finger he’s had to fight for the right to sit in the sauna and been attended to by the gang.

Organic buildings

Hong Kong buildings remind of some type of coral-like organic life form.

A good example of the ‘Porosity’ of Asian city living…

Hong Kong UX

This Hong Kong street-scene snapped while rolling along up the soho escalator looks like a crazy UX drop down menu design

Gough!

Clifton Pugh’s portrait of Gough Whitlam in Parliament House in Canberra.

After Gough Whitlam was dismissed as a result of the Australian constitutional crisis of 1975, he refused to sit for the traditional portrait which is done of Australian Prime Ministers. He instructed that the 1972 Archibald Prize winning portrait by Clifton Pugh be used instead.

Governor Macquarie’s Rum Hospital

anubis2020 — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 05:11:59 +0000

My daily walk into town through some sydney history…yes we do have some history.

The Sydney Hospital is the oldest hospital in Australia, dating back to 1788, and at its current location since 1811. Rum was the currency of the colony and Governor Macquarie gave a rum monopoly to three locals if they built him a splendid hospital in return.

Nurse training in Australia began on site in 1868 when Florence Nightingale sent out Lucy Osburn and five other English sisters. The brick and sandstone Gothic Revival Nightingale Wing of 1869 off the central courtyard, with its colourful fountain, was built to the plans of Florence Nightingale to house the first nursing school.
