Apollinaire's take on the palindrome, part of "Coeur Couronne et Miroir" from "Caligrammes", which I would translate, rather roughly, as "In this mirror I am enclosed, alive and real, as one imagines the angels and not like the reflections (in this mirror...)"
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward or forward. Allowances may be made for adjustments to capital letters, punctuation, and word dividers.
Navan –a palindrome.
The Hundred of Gilbert was declared in 1851 and John Hallett and Joseph Stirling bought several sections of land here in 1853 and named the locality after Navan in County Meath Ireland. This was excellent land in the Gilbert River Valley with the river flowing through their sections. They tried to establish a private town with 126 blocks. It grew slowly with a Post Office, a blacksmith, bootmaker, a Catholic school with 47 pupils and a Catholic church. The church was probably built in the late 1850s and a school existed in Navan by 1858 with 39 pupils. A general store opened in 1861 but it did not fare well and was up for sale in 1862. It reopened as Gluyas’ general store and was still operating with that owner who had the Post Office as well until he retired in 1875. He was still trying to sell it two years later. By then Navan was declining as the big town of Riverton with 5 stores overshadowed Navan. The arrival of the railway in Riverton in 1869 was probably instrumental in the demise of Navan which never got a siding although the railway was close to the town site. The cemetery was started in the mid-1850s with the earliest grave dated 1858. The Catholic Church was not well built and started to collapse in 1872 but was still in use until it was demolished in 1876, never to replaced. Although the Sisters of St Joseph used to walk to the Navan Catholic School from Tarlee beginning in 1864, the opening of the Catholic school reduced enrolments in the Navan licensed private school. The Navan Catholic School closed in 1871. Navan became a government school in 1878 and was closed in 1887 when a new school was built at Giles Corner known as the Merrindie School. The tiny town declined further and evidence of this is the selling of 77 town lots in 1874. They presumably went to local farmers to enlarge their paddocks. Nothing remains of Navan today. The charming mortuary chapel in the cemetery was built from the 18th March 1900 when the foundation stone was laid and blessed. It was built in memory of John O’Brien who is buried there as he had contributed £100 towards its construction. It was to be used for Masses on the first Sunday of the month and for services for some funerals. The Catholic Bishop sent an assistant to bless the foundation stone. There is a good sprinkling of Irish names in Navan cemetery as the district was named after Navan in Ireland. Names include: Brennan, Buckley, Burrows, Callery, Connell, Glynn, Hahasey, Hogan, Keelan, Kenny, McCarthy, McEvoy, McGahan, McInernery, O’Dea, Shannon etc. The roads of Navan township were returned to broad acre properties by the government in 1942.

For FGR - "Presents" and "Favorite Word"
I don't really have a favorite word - but I am a huge fan of word-play. Palindromes are my favorite. Gracie is the worst/best dog I have ever owned. Truly her own dichotomy. It's fitting that her nickname "Evil dog" is "God Live" backwards. I'm not a religious person - but she is certainly a gift from somewhere...

The filename was as palindrome as the image ! so :)

I decided to cut more Cretaceous New Jersey amber again. Beautiful clear golden dinosaur aged amber. It is pretty stable and no need water to protect just clean polished the transparent yellow type. My transparent reddish NJ amber showed the crazing effect. Opaque NJ amber must kept under dampcotton to prevent further decomposition.

What if reflections of the sun had been all you had ever seen of it? What if you had lived underground your whole life?
Sometimes I get so frustrated with my inability to articulate spiritual things. I don't comprehend the spiritual world well myself and then to try to tell someone who knows even less of it than I do is like someone who's only seen a reflection of the sun describing it to someone who has always lived in a cave. It's a good thing I'm not responsible to save anyone.
"For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a blurred reflection of reality, but when perfection comes we shall see truly and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood by God." I Corinthians 13:12
The last four images that I have from our wedding four years ago. I still swoon a little when I think about that day: so many friends and family, a forest, delicious food, donuts, dahlias and other gorgeous flowers, dancing until after midnight (and ending the dancing on a high note with Led Zeppelin)... the list goes on and on.
Yesterday was not only our anniversary... my new niece was born, AND it was a palindrome date!

While waiting on another train, I happened upon this lucky find. NS 21E came into Latrobe with an SD40E leader, unit 6336, to be precise.
"He opens and no man can shut it. He closes and no man can open it."
I feel like I'm surrounded by closed doors sometimes. It's exciting to be near so many opportunities but it's so disappointing to find so many of them shut to me. I must be at the wrong door. If I could just find the right one.
I ended up looking at this galaxy because of a discussion on palindromic prime numbers, which 383 happens to be. Anyway, this is just the central disc of the galaxy. The whole galaxy is much larger, looking like a smooth, bright elliptical galaxy. What's much more interesting about this galaxy is something that I wasn't able to include because I couldn't find the data. Or, maybe it is more appropriate to say that the NRAO archive confused me. If I ever get the data I'll post a new version with the radio jets. They're really something.
I used a combination ACS/HRC F606W polarized light images for the luminosity for this and generated colors from the following data:
Red: hst_06673_09_wfpc2_f814w_pc_sci
Green: hst_05476_0j_wfpc2_f702w_pc_sci

North is up.
The famous palindromic suburb, 15km from the centre of Adelaide. Sadly its lost some of its lustre since the late 1990's with the closure of Magic Mountain and development.

Putney Bridge station is the terminus for palindromic routes 39 and 93 as seen here by brand new EVL 24 having arrived on route 93 from North Cheam with DRL 84 visible behind having arrived on route 39 from Clapham Junction. Prior to its trimming back to Clapham Junction as a result of the Wandsworth Area Route Network (WARN) scheme of March 1991 being implemented, route 39 ran all the way from Putney Bridge station to Victoria. The section of route 39 between Clapham Junction and Victoria was replaced by a new 239 route, with this route since becoming incorporated into route 170 linking Victoria with Roehampton (Danebury Avenue).

When I'm plagued with an upsetting situation, I often choose a perfectly normal photo and begin to play
and go within for answers. I love to express my own art. In this case, a fountain, made from recycled farm equipment, was my base.
By utilizing a point of view . . . something swells up from within and speaks to me, metaphorically. Searching for different quotations expands the process and further clarifies my feelings.
I prefer Ralph Waldo Emerson's philosophy:
“For if in any manner we can stimulate this instinct,
new passages are opened for us into nature,
the mind flows into and through things hardest and highest,
and the metamorphosis is possible.”
Todd Solondz has an interesting slant on metamorphosis:
"This driving need is what is so defining of her and is, in a sense, what makes her a palindrome . .
Loosely, metaphorically speaking, a palindrome describes that part of ourselves
that is immutable and that resists, so that for all the metamorphoses, physical and otherwise,
that we see over the course of the film, the character remains a constant.”
*****an important note ~ regarding my quotations, I never do much research on the authors . . . my words are chosen based on the impact of their messages. Occasionally, out of curiosity, I will google a name I've never recognized. Astonishingly, today, AFTER posting, I looked up "Todd Solondz" and was amazed to read about him, as I wasn't too enthralled with his message, but it did give me food for thought.
from Google: "Todd Solondz (born October 15, 1959) is an American independent film screenwriter and director known for his style of dark, thought-provoking, socially conscious satire. In 1989 Solondz wrote and directed Fear, Anxiety & Depression, an episodic comedy about fledgling playwright Ira (played by Solondz) and his frustrating interactions with the opposite sex."
VERY interesting . . . serendipity reigns . . .
