Russian bombs have destroyed many of Ukraine’s cities and in doing so, flattened Soviet-era buildings. @timkmak, Mariana Lastovyria and Artem Moskalenko write for The Counteroffensive about whether that might one day create opportunities for a new kind of city planning and building that’s more resilient and better for individuals and communities.

Serenity / La Serenità for #windowfriday

Second window of the day! 🪟 This was taken from inside another small garden last weekend. I think it was the best one. It was quaint and colourful and covered in Star Jasmine which is probably my favourite smelling flower! 🌸 (You can see it at the bottom there!) This is the best smelling photo I've ever taken. ✨

The photo is of a yellow stucco house with a window on the right which has open purple shutters. There is a washing line attached to it and hanging on it is a purplish garment is hanging to dry. The house is surrounded by a low wall, also made of yellow stucco, topped with terracotta tiles. A tree stands on the left side of the image, casting shadows on the wall and the house. In the foreground, green plants with small white flowers are visible at the bottom of the image. The background showcases a clear blue sky with a few white clouds.

The Experiment Farm Cottage was the first farm in Australia owned by a former convict. In 1789, Governor Arthur Philip provided convict James Ruse a 1.5 acre plot of land just outside Parramatta, with the promise of granting him emancipation and 30 acres if he successfully farmed it, which he did. The site had been cleared by the traditional owners, the Burramatta Dharug people (after whom the City of Parramatta was named), who used firestick agriculturally techniques to clear the site.

Still standing: The Experiment Farm Cottage.
The entry to the Experiment Farm Cottage.
The dining room, featuring a mix of original and period furniture. The walls have been repainted in the room's original forest green colour.
The loungeroom was often used by the ladies, while the men conducted business in the dining room. The walls are painted arsenic green, and were originally painted with a paint that contained arsenic.
