River Photos, Paterson, New Jersey USA (January 2005)These photos were taken … on a day when the city was shrouded in a deep winter fog. The river seemed to disappear ... The trees reflected on the mirror surface of the water … and the colors were so subdued that the effect is almost black and white.

Catalina Flying Boat & Man:: Monday, April 09, 2007 ::
Old-style flying boat plane (PBY Catalina) that can also land on solid ground with the wheels. I think it's Ron standing by it. There is a framed photo (which I think another family member has) showing his father standing by a similar aeroplane.
For many years there was a Flying Boat Base at Rose Bay in Sydney Harbour, and my childhood home was under the flightpath of the large Catalinas coming in to land. We were some floors up in a block of flats, and at night sometimes they were so low I could see the people behind the lighted windows in the passenger cabin. My memory is they flew to Norfolk & Lord Howe Islands.
The base closed down a few decades back, but has since reopened for much smaller planes. They run a more local service, e.g. to the Hawkesbury River, and probably joy flights around the Sydney area. I saw a similar small plane in Strahan, Tasmania (see TAS_4212).Labels: aeroplanes, airplanes, black and white, history, monochrome, pix

Good News on Restoration of Hilton Memorial
UPDATE 2008
Even better news, on the 30th Anniversary, 13th February, 2008, they restored the plaque to a stele or pillar back on the footpath. With all my changes and troubles this year I haven't been on that part of George St, so I only saw it in December 2008 while I was doing Christmas shopping, without a camera. I'll try to put up a picture of it.
