My town claims to be the world's Stampunk Capital ! Behind this 'train' is the entrance to Steampunk HQ and inside is all manner of weird and wonderful things that will mystify and confuse you.

Steampunk "is a quirky and fun genre of science fiction that features steam-powered technology. It is often set in an alternate, futuristic version of 19th century Victorian England.
The Steampunk future is driven by unusual steam powered devices ' the 'world gone mad'as Victorian people may have imagined it."
Care to enter ?


The building was originally called Meeks Grain Elevator and was built in 1883 for grain traders and millers J. & T. Meek. when the town at that time was a flourishing sea port, and bigger than Los Angeles. The five storey building was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere at the time. In 1920 the top two storeys were destroyed in a spectacular fire.

Progressive way of traveling. Think however that one can only buy a one way ticket for a ride, Lyn, ☺ .
Perfect shot of this phenomenon!

I'd love to enter, Lyn. Sculptures of this kind are loads of fun to see and to photograph. I recall seeing Steampunk objects d'art here at Caedes, years ago, but don't recall who submitted them. How lucky for you to have thus "in the neighborhood, so to speak.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
