Of #S_T_Gill's Series of #Adelaide Views in the 1840s, the ones still viewable today are Trinity Church, Government House, the Gaol and (I think) the Catholic Chapel.

#SilentSunday in the river park.

We go down here on hot days, it's always shady and cool and Lusha can swim.

View of a rocky river, flowing between steep banks of leafy beech trees. The larger boulders in the water are covered in moss. Leafy plants dot the near bank.

A foreground of small mangrove trees at the edge of a rocky foreshore. The sun is close to setting across choppy waters with low forested hills in the distance.

Gum nut in full bloom
Calmly waving whispy fronds

Dusk across the waters of Port Stephens Bay, NSW, Australia. #EndOfTheDay

$Looking across the waters of Port Stephens Bay to the entry to the ocean, which is flanked by twin small peaks on each side. An almost full moon is in a clear sky with a few whispy clouds. The water is a bit choppy due to strong westerlies. In the foreground the waters edge is flanked by fractured rocks.$

#silentsunday

A dramatic sunrise graces a dark grey blue clouded sky above, with a centered splash of gold light breaking through, dramatically highlighting them in brilliant outline. Soft rays penetrate wisps of mist and lend white tracery emanating in all directions. A sloping mountain range ascends diagonally center left to right in the background. A small diamond patch of green meadow sits just at center above an overgrown field of green, with trees in full leaf bordering right and left. The rooftop of a small chapel in dark red/brown hues is sited bottom right, with a hint of river and road showing just to its left

Highlight of a visit to downtown Newcastle today - the merino head on the old wool exchange building. #ruralarchitecture #history #NewcastleAu

A merino ram's head against square maroon tiles framed by an arch of red bricks.

A historical red brick building in Newcastle, Australia. The Newcastle Wool Exchange. A square central frontage with 2 rows of 8 arched windows is framed at the top and side by flat cream concrete. Either side are shorter rectangles of red brick frontage, with a single arched window and the merino motif above, and thick vertical borders of the same flat cream concrete.

A cold morning lifts fog off the distant #RiverMurray. The hills are starting to green up with break of season rain having come at last. #RockleighSA #SilentSunday

Looking through eucalyptus tree crowns across lowering hills to a white stripe of fog sitting just below the distant horizon. It's a clear, crisp winter's morning at Rockleigh in South Australia. The fog shows the path of the River Murray.

In 1955, archaeologists made a groundbreaking discovery on Easter Island that transformed the understanding of the island’s iconic Moai statues. Careful excavation revealed that many of these giant figures actually possess sizeable, detailed bodies buried beneath layers of soil and sediment. This finding shed new light on the craftsmanship and cultural significance of the Moai, showing that they were complete statues rather than just isolated heads.
