remind you of any buildings you know?





favourite buildings 3

Heide I, II, III

These photos are of Heide III, visited a few weeks ago in the raging heat affecting Victoria, just a few days before the horrendous fires.  A really wonderful history and experience.  Must get back to spend some time in the gardens. See here for access to stories and photos on Heide I,II & III

stop it or you'll go blind



this carbuncle, adjacent to the curtain walled entry, defies me. I am guessing it houses a lecture theatre, and is a gesture to the little expressionist building elsewhere on campus, or a really bad homage to FOG ( he sure has a lot to answer for!!) it certainly f***s up an otherwise nicely proportioned entrance.

around the corner we go, and it gets worse. a photo etched wall of aluminium and copper colours with more random openings.  note the piano references!






snap!

last trip to tulsa 2

sunday morning coming down 2


and this is how shamu feels!

sunday morning coming down


and this how i feel this morning!

more lennie

the unknown girl in the middle of this photo seemed to know all of the songs, all the words and all of the fascial expressions needed to fully enjoy the LC experience!! the lady in the hat looks like she's into it as well, but deeper.....!!



the pedal steel guitarist looked like he had just arrived from his day job as an accountant in the city.....!
 

big lennie!!


well, the Leonard Cohen concert proved to be all it was promised to be. a religious experience, at least for some, but three hours of beautifully rendered classics with, as you would expect, a fantastic band of musicians and backup singers. and just when you thought it might getting a bit dour, a cracking version of "if it be your will" performed by the webb sisters (part of the backup vocals trio). the saxophone and spanish guitar were standouts in this line-up, and LC just kept on going with wit and passion and cheerfulness. not an unhappy person in the audience, that i noticed, at least.

all ably supported by augie marsh and paul kelly.

mardie does 81


we took mum out for a birthday lunch to celebrate 81 big ones.  mood was thankfully cheerful.

last trip to tulsa

now playing on sunday morning coming down.  neil at his obscure best!!
