Marines and sailors sit on the beach with their eyes closed in reflection while Staff Sgt. Jason L. Day details the Battle of Iwo Jima during their visit May 17. During the visit, Marines and sailors took time to reflect and envision the events that transpired during the battle.

Pollenzo, Università del Gusto.
Dentro c'era un ristorante brulicante di gente a modo e vestita di tutto punto (penso una qualche cerimonia) e io fuori fotografavo la finestra... Avranno pensato che fossi un paparazzo in cerca di scoop.
at the Vairagi camp, Kumbh Mela, Haridwar, India - these weeks with Babas and Sadhus were very interesting, but also exhausting and had left me with many things to reflect upon
An untitled fountain on a roundabout in Watton Street.
Werribee in 2000.
Victoria.
Artist Helen Bodycomb was commissioned to create this work, in accordance with Wyndham City Councils Art in Public Places Policy. The fountain contributes to Councils vision to revitalise the CBD streetscape, and to create an arts precinct opening spatially and symbolically towards the Werribee River.
Aesthetic additions to the CBD Streetscape reflect and enhance the relationship between the commercial precinct and the Werribee River. The selected artworks relate to each other, the environment, and reference the past, present and future of Wyndham.
The design & production team that worked with commissioned artist Helen Bodycomb were:
Wathaurong artist Glenn Romanis,
Rene Schaefer,
Chris Rak, and
PL Fountains.
Mayor Cr. Henry Barlow launched the artwork on 7 December 2000.

The artist and her work
"The tree is a universal symbol of life and knowledge. As such, its root system is the primary channel for its strength and survival. The root sysyem was chosen as the subject for this work because of these meanings and because it is an aesthetically pleasing form that is simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar. It takes the form of a tree but it obviously is not a tree.
The traditional symbolic meanings of the tree include:
* both the giver and manifestation
* the synthesis of heaven, earth and water
* nourishment, shelter, support".
Sculpture feature
The stainless steel sculpture is the central focus of the fountain, taking its form from an inverted red gum tree root system. River red gums proliferate along the banks of the Werribee River. The fountain component of the work features a series of vertical streams flowing from the tree root branches.
The characteristics of the sculpture's design complement the modernist lines of the adjacent Wyndham Community Cultural Centre, thereby celebrateing the interface of build and organic environments. The viewer's eye is led from the Cultural Centre to the River Walk at the end of Wedge Street, to the Werribee River beyond.
Mosaic
The mosaic surrounding the sculpture suggests that the tree is encircled by water. The domed base, whilst seerving as the sculpture's plinth, depicts a radiating series of branches, gently corrugated by a series of three ripples. Patterning and colouring of the vascular branches, emanating from the base of the sculpture, represent the rich and complex indigenous heritage of the region. Water areas of the mosaic were rendered using a range of blue, green and gold hues from the Werribee River.
The design of the mosaic can be read as:
* A watery reflection of the root structure above it;
* A view of the sculpture as a tree seen from underwater;
* A Stylised representation of sections of the Werribee River and its tributaries, seen from an aerial perspective.

I love the way that each pane of glass in this building, which is alongside the River Thames in London, has a different distortion on the view it reflects. There are some great patterns in each individual little box!
This is my shadow reflected on the wall in the light of a beautiful orange sunset...above it is a picture of a mother bird and its two fledglings... I thought it was quite fitting in light of thoughts about my roles in life...
The sun was behind me when I took this photo but it was reflecting in the glass front of the station giving false shadows!

A building reflecting from the Mätäjoki river in Helsinki, Finland. This photo is actually upside down. I spotted this scene by accident when I was just walking by the river and I'm quite happy with it! Except for shrinking this photo has not been altered at all.

"A water work for Ozone Park."
Artist Corinne Ulmann’s design of delicate-looking lily pads floats amongst a sea of blues. Painted on barriers separating two-way traffic, the mural measures approximately 100 feet in length. Corinne Ulmann worked alongside 30 volunteers to implement this design on both sides of the barrier site creating a sculptural landscape for the residents of Ozone Park.
