Last month I showed a picture of the outdoor three-dimensional maze at Stuart Landsborough's Puzzling World. This picture was shot inside the large entry room where anyone can sit at a table and work puzzles. The picture is of the mirrors on the ceiling reflecting the people working on their puzzles.
I've created a page with an enlarged picture if you want to see it more clearly. |
What I like about this picture is how complex it is, hard to tell what is inside and what is outside. I snapped it (that's a reflection of me with white pants in the middle) in Adelaide, Australia. We were walking down an alley behind some art museums and came upon a museum's cafeteria (you can see a bit of the legs of the chairs) behind tall windows and the railing above the chairs. |
In visual viewpoints from the Attractions from Down Under group, I mentioned the Sovereign Hill recreation of the 1850's goldfields in Ballarat, Australia. Here is another picture from that town. It shows a storefront displaying items from the past. Always like those washboards, which I can even remember using when I was very young! So whenever I see such "old" household relics, I begin to feel really old myself.
Unlike so many other towns, here the profits were not drunk or gambled away but poured into brick and mortar. It is said that the town, which isn't any larger than it was in its heyday, has one of the finest examples of 19th century architecture in the country.

You would be hard-pressed to guess what this picture is, so I'll tell you. I'm looking down through a sturdy glass protection at the edge of a viewing ledge over a bungee-jumping bridge. (You can see the bridge in the introduction page to newsletters.) The attraction draws many, mostly young, enthusiasts eager to try the adrenaline rush of throwing oneself into the air and plunging headlong over a rushing river in the hope the rope around one's ankles will hold.
The yellow boat has picked up a diver and the white shoes belong to a man who said he would take my picture if I took the dive. I offered the same to him and he turned me down. |
