Masonic Hotel and T&G building Scinde building, originally the Masonic hall I love Deco. I just walked round Napier with my mouth open. Half the images I took are going up on Alamy- just extraordinary.. OK just one more for now, there are 98 but everyone else may get bored Just realised this lot will take me over 10,000. Too bad We now have son/D in L and granddaughter there. We'd be there like a shot if there were a way. It's a better place. when you said you loved art Deco i was hoping you made it to Napier.... love the place...first visited in 92, when they were starting to realise that what they had deserved preserving... Hate that the T&G has a Starbucks, but hey! Link to post Share on other sites

If I was 30 years younger I'd emigrate there, but they won't have me now as I'm too old/not rich enough! Phil same here (though the 14/15 for me reads as : 92, 03, 04/05, 08, 15, 16 i love the country). one of my perverse joke comment as a Canadian from Brexit move was that it would force a form of free movement within the former empire , and i'd move tomorrow... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I only mainly noticed as it was an addition the second time i visited... by the way, had you only uploaded one, "Masonic Martini" would be an Alamywhack. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites

John Mitchell 5,723 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I wonder if the recent cold snap in Vancouver killed the batteries on this small electric car (Electra Meccanica Solo). I guess this one might have been a good fit for the current "irony" challenge. 😁 P.S.

British Gent 83 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Being fed up with endless wet and gloomy weekends, I took myself off to Cardiff's indoor market in the hope of finding something interesting to shoot.

gvallee 4,170 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I was bush camping miles away for civilisation. Access is by rough dirt roads only, preferably 4x4. I stayed several hours by this tree waiting for the sky to be right. I was trying light painting with my torch but the beam was too narrow and it was not doing a good job. What happens next? Unbelievably, two 4x4 cars drove past (to top it off, one had a tinnie on the roof!! so far from any water). Their headlights lit the tree perfectly. Moral of the story: always expect the unexpected. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
