Potentially it was foolish to attempt to revivify this poor lost blawg when I was about to go into full time work. For those of you full-time full-timers, doubtless this seems like the whinge of a spoilt child. But nontheless, my body clock has needed a teensy bit of tweaking, leaving me with little time to spend on selfish pursuits. But I could not neglect you all for too long, lest you think I would not return. So I wanted to share with you the spectacular works of a friend of mine, Patrick Boland. For those of you who have ever been even mildly drawn to the mysterious machines of steampunk, or to the magic palimsest of industrial remnants, or to the scary-glee of ancient robots, or to the hard, soft lines of sandstone cut by prisoners…. or, for those of you who are Sydney-siders, like me, if you have been enchanted by the bizarre and extraordinarily rare density of history you can find at Cockatoo Island, check out the gorgeous photos Patrick has taken (some of these are trimmed, thank you so so much, WordPress…). Find the Rool Thing over here:
The Goblin Hall:
It’s comin’ ta git cha!
Greys go gorgeous…
Enjoy, kidlets. I shall return at some point, carryin’ on about the Whedonverse, or potentially about Sydney Festival stuff I have been indulging in!

Beautiful stuff. He has especially interesting views of cranes.

Agreed. He does love the cranes on that island, and there are so many of them! There’s something about the arch against the sky, I think, that makes them especially effective. Did you see boingboing featured these? Comments mostly consisted of anti-HDR whingers (‘Give us the real thing, the real thing as we’ve come to expect it!’) sadly, but there were a few decent responses amongst them…

Yeah, I think there was a link to BoingBoing on Boland’s page? I didn’t read the feature over there.
