Southern Cross Station

I have always wondered what the significance of the uneven arches was at the New Spencer St Station renamed SOUTHERN CROSS STATION

It appears the uneven pattern of the modulated domes prevents the released air from being pushed back into the building...and as a result no mechanical fan extraction is required.. thus energy saving.

I am an admirer of the architecure of Domes...eg Melbourne Exhibition Buildings and numerous cathedrals in Europe , particularly the Domo in Florence Italy

XENA...#10 in our Solar System

XENA ....she exists
NASA has found the 10th planet beyond PLUTO
Aaaah but is she a real planet you may ask

Now what are the female planets named...VENUS, EARTH and XENA.....

Life will never be the same ...now for the pop song ....

Rusticania

This early farmhouse has fascinated me for many years
It is situated adjacent to OAKLANDS RIDING CLUB , just North of Tullamarine Airport.
Its unique diminutive structure stands in abject contrast to more contemporary architectural creations that adorn suburbia....where would they put the plasma TV and jacuzzi here ?
Joe and Dino may like the early settler appearance that existed here soon after early rural settlement
I will show it to you again in Spring when daffodils decorate its surrounds

Matters of the HEART

Never give all the heart
W.B.Yeats

Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief , dreamy , kind delight.

O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.

So typically Orstalian
