Excerpt from www.stthomas.ca/living_here/parks__recreation_and_propert...:

The first publicly owned park in St. Thomas, Waterworks Park originated in the early 1900s as a small area around the Public Utilities Commission's, (PUC), pumping station and water treatment plant. About twenty-five acres, (10 hectares), not needed for waterworks purposes were retained as a place of recreation for the citizens of the city and district. Once a tangled willow swamp, the PUC developed beautiful water gardens to the north of the plant beginning in 1932. These gardens exist to this day, being cared for by City of St. Thomas Parks Division since 1969.

To create the park's tranquil setting and natural appeal, five thousand plantings of brilliant flowering annuals among ornamental shrubbery, surround the neatly tended lawns, banks and unique bridges.

Be sure to watch for Waterworks resident Kingfisher, Blue Heron, Osprey, Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel.

Waterworks emphasizes the quieter forms of family recreation. You'll enjoy a pleasant stroll across arched foot bridges which join a chain of tiny islands where water lilies, goldfish and other wildlife are found swimming amongst exotic water lilies.

A trip to the top of the hill on the east side of the park reveals an attractive view of the valley and the dam which creates a beautiful reservoir where you can stretch out on the bank and drop a fishing line or have a picnic while surrounded by acres of reforested banks and highlands.

To the south, Waterworks provides a large playground, a splash pad open in July and August and picturesque nature and ski trails. Two roomy reservable shelters among cooling shade trees are part of the fine picnic facilities within the park. Beautiful colourful flowers arranged across spacious lawns and the splendid rustic characteristics of Waterworks Park make this an artist's and photographer's delight and a favourite site for wedding pictures.

It is believed that the worship services in Conway were held in the home of the Ingersoll family in 1858.

In 1867, Conway belonged to the Wesleyan Methodist Bath Circuit.

In 1882, the Conway Methodist Church, our current location, was constructed. On January 28, 1883 Reverend Marmaduke Pearson, grandfather of Canada’s Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, dedicated the church.

Obviously Conway was a “United Church” long before we merged in 1925 to form “The United Church of Canada”.

Excerpt from the plaque:

Nymphaeum: Before you are remains of a nymphaeum, or public drinking fountain, which sits at the eastern end of Petra’s Colonnaded Street. Named after the nymphs-female nature spirits of classical mythology- this structure was characteristic of most Graeco-Roman cities; Petra was no exception. As a civic ornament, it functioned both as a repository for water and as a lively meeting place for the city’s populace. Although only the lowest levels of its masonry now remain, it is possible to reconstruct the fountain, based upon the more intact remains of other such structures.

Elevated upon a stepped podium, this nymphaeum consisted of a freestanding wall decorated with porticos and featuring a large central exedra that contained the fountain proper, whose waters emptied into a shallow pool below. The water tunnel that stated at the Siq to divert water into the city passed behind this nymphaeum.

Like many chameleons, it has a tongue that is almost as long as its own body. When their eyes focus on prey, they judge the distance and shoot those tongues out, snaring the prey in their sticky grasp.

Thankfully their natural colours and slow movement allow them to blend in almost perfectly with their tropical surroundings.

Excerpt from guide.suomenlinna.fi/map-screen:

The Great Courtyard used to be the administrative centre of the sea fortress. Augustin Ehrensvärd, the founder of the fortress, was buried in the square.

Completed in the 1760s, the Great Courtyard was the first monument square in Finland. Obliquely positioned bastions and arched buildings created a false perspective in the square. The optical illusion was used to highlight the administrative centre of the fortress where the main guard house for the fortress and the fortress commandant’s residence were located.

The Great Courtyard was badly damaged in the Crimean War in 1855 when the Anglo-French fleet bombarded it. The Bastion Ekeblad, a part of the Commandant’s House, the General’s Building and another arched main guard house building that were damaged during the Crimean War were demolished. A residential building for Russian officers was built in the square.

Today, the courtyard houses Augustin Ehrensvärd’s tomb, the Ehrensvärd Museum that is open in the summer, and residential buildings.
