My contribution for this week’s

Fun Foto Challenge

~~~~~

During my youth, sighting the Geelong Cement Works

meant we only had a few minutes to drive

before Dad would stop for a break in Geelong.

cement_0528Today, however, like many of Geelong’s industries…

cement_0530it stands idle…unwanted…

cement_0535except by graffiti artists.

cement_0539Now, overgrown and uncared for…

cement_0540it is nothing more than a…

building_0196silent sentry overlooking Geelong City.

building_0002One of the industries which is thriving is the housing industry.

Here a cement slab is being poured for one of the

many of the new houses built since I moved to Geelong.

building_0002Finally, another reminder of a by-gone industry.

I know I am me.  I’m not sure why

WordPress does not agree that I am me!!

Does anyone else have this problem?

A photo shoot around the garden this morning

provided me with some minimalist shots.

in the process of burst into bloom.

black-agapanthus_0003This ‘Black’ Agapanthus is little further along

but still not quite in full bloom

queen-mum-agapanthus_0060My favourite, a ‘Queen Mum’ Agapanthus,

nearly in full bloom.

Weekly Photo Challenge-Warmth

~~~~~

My contribution for this week’s challenge…

Warmth

~~~~~

With the sun shining at a balmy twenty something degrees,

what better to do this morning but take a walk in the garden.

spider_0070I was not alone in thinking that was a good idea…

spider_070a whole family had decided to do the same.

spider_0075Although maybe the fear of being walked upon

lead them to scurry up the garden edging…

 

spider_0080before dashing across the mulch for the safety of a shrub.

Gives a whole new meaning to ‘talking the kids for a walk’ 🙂

By the way…these walkers are not my ‘friends’.

If I have a phobia…arachnophobia it is!

A few photos from one of my favourite spots.

circles_0834again nature provides plenty of circles…

circles_0841and curves.

circles_0847Even the onlookers add a curve or two.

circles_0852Just about done as the last circle turns into a wide curve.
Christmas_2277At the end of a relaxing and enjoyable day with family,

with and more to come tomorrow evening…

I noted that our Christmas tree also

provided some circles and curves.

I hope everyone else has had

a Happy Christmas Day.

My contribution for this week’s

Fun Foto Challenge

Geelong’s architecture through the years
geelong_1859The Gordon TAFE (Technical and Further Education)

has been providing vocational education

to students for over one hundred years.

geelong_1841Across the road from The Gordon is the

Up-Side-Down Building which

houses government offices is

certainly newer but has been around a while.

geelong_1840Pier Point is one of several buildings which

has sprung up along Geelong’s

foreshore during the past ten years.

geelong_1862More recently is the Waurn Ponds library,

known as ‘The Box’,

is on the outskirts of Geelong

in a fast growing area and

opposite an expanding shopping centre.

I’m told it is extremely nice inside.

It is just the outside which is not that appealing.

geelong_1846Back to Geelong city centre, just down the street from

the Up-Side-Down build and The Gordon,

the new Geelong Library is taking shape.

Built on the site of the old library,

it is going to be a feature of Geelong when completed.

building_0196Geelong’s foreshore and its modern development,

while in the background,

the abandoned cement works,

on the other side of town, overlooks all.

A few weeks ago a nativity scene appear at the church we attend.

nativity_2322Nothing new about that except that it was outside the church…
nativity_2320which is on one of Geelong’s major roads.
nativity_2323I just hope the fence keeps the vandals at bay.

nativity_2326So here it is in total.

A two thousand-year old scene,

in front of a one hundred and fifty year old church.

Note the stretched limo, to cater for a wedding party,

and a solar panel to supply lighting at night.

Is that a juxtaposition…or what?
