Luna Park, Sydney, which was modelled on Coney Island and has had a rough ride (pun intended) over the years but always manages to survive. It's on the northern foreshore adjacent to the bridge and North Sydney Olympic Swimming Pool, opened in 1936.  |

The Coney Island I knew was in Cincinnati and the name has been King's Island for the last fifty years --- if it even still exists.
Such theme parks here in the states have been disappearing over the last several years; Opryland has been gone for years and Tombstone Junction longer than that.
Well....., I just looked, and it appears that there is also a Coney Island in Brooklin, New York; AND, there is a Luna Park in that Coney Island. |

Thanks for the inspiration; I just now did the sitting in a wash-pan trick and was going to take a selfie but managed to knock over the tripod while I was getting situated. |

Nice picture.
I can't help but notice that all three hinges on each shutter are pointing up; I always turn the center hinge to point down to prevent someone being able to lift it off the hinges.
Same with a gate; if you don't, thieves can lift the locked gate off the hinges and gain access that way; and, if a cow or bull pokes his head through the gate, he can come after you wearing the gate around his neck. |

Notice how the water from the flowers has ran down the wall; one has to wonder whether the same thing might be happening between the stone and inner wall; hopefully the window sill is such as to prevent that. |

Thanks for starting this thread Clive. I'll keep it in mind on my morning walks. Here's an old one from (coincidentally) exactly three years ago. I call it "Moving Day - Has Anybody Seen Grandpa?"  Bill |
