":Paris telescope. Newtonian reflecting telescope installed at the Paris Observatory, France, during the 1860s. It had a 1.2 meter (48 inch) diameter mirror. This was the first large telescope mirror to be made of glass coated with silver deposited chemically in a method devised by the German chemist Justus von Liebig. The mirror was much better than those made of polished copper alloy, but the telescope's poor mounting made it nearly useless;" --stemag1 (see below)
I LOVE SOUTHALL! ~ The entrance to the languages section in Southall Library reflects the local community, and in fact the whole of modern London, with 'a wealth of languages'.
Reflecting...
on a year almost past...
Surrounding myself with comfort and memories...
Carnations...my favorite flower...
Garlands...to hold me together...
Tissues...in case I need to cry...
Tea...to sooth the soul...
Granny Blanket...to keep my safe and loved...
Reflect

Victorian Heritage Register Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Hepburn Springs Swimming Pool was built in the early 1930s by local labour and financed by Ernest and Victor Zelman, prominent Swiss Italian settlers. It consists of a concrete dam across a natural basin in Spring Creek with associated terracing. The basin was deepened by blasting. The dam has a small weir for flood water and a valve low down in the wall which handles normal environmental flow. The pool is within the Mineral Springs Reserve, which was created by early Swiss and Italian settlers and other interested citizens to protect the mineral springs from ruination due to mining. The pool is one of the early competition pools in the state, and was utilised for State swimming championships in the 1930's. After a period of dilapidation the pool was refurbished by volunteers in 1993 using old photographs to replicate missing features such as seating.
How is it significant?
The Hepburn Springs Swimming Pool is historically and socially significant to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Hepburn Springs Swimming Pool is of historical and social importance as a rare, intact, surviving example of a community swimming facility created from a natural feature. Such pools were once commonplace in Victorian country towns but in most cases have either disappeared or fallen into disrepair. It is the best surviving example of its type and complements the Eastern Beach Swimming Complex (VHR929) in Geelong.
The Hepburn Springs Swimming Pool is a socially important link with an era of rising popularity of swimming, partly as a result of the fame of swimmers such as Annette Kellerman, and more importantly in Victoria, (Sir) Frank Beaurepaire who is known to have visited this pool on a number of occasions. Ironically, it was partly Beaurepaire's championing of the Olympic pool standard that ultimately led to the demise of natural swimming pools.
The Hepburn Springs Swimming Pool is of historical and social significance for its long associations with the settlement of the State's premier mineral springs recreational area based around Hepburn Springs. The construction of the pool was undertaken by descendants of the Swiss Italian immigrants who settled this area and it is located in an area directly associated with some of the prominent local guest houses, also owned at the time by members of the Swiss Italian community.

"An iconic statue of the Fab Four, in their hometown. The Beatles Statue arrived on Liverpool's Waterfront in December 2015. Donated by the famous Cavern Club, the placement of the statue coincides with the 50 year anniversary of the band's last gig played in Liverpool, at the Liverpool Empire Theatre. It's the city's most popular selfie spot! The figures are larger than life size and weigh 1.2 tonnes in total."

On Easter Monday, 28 March 2016 Dublin City Council commemorated the 1916 Rising with a day of history and more at Smithfield Square.
The popular ‘Dublin Remembers’ Learning Bus was there, alongside a large mobile library and a replica vintage ambulance. Dublin City Public Libraries, Dublin Fire Brigade and Dublin UNESCO City of Literature staff were there promoting Dublin City Council’s 1916 centenary programme. They were joined by re-enactors and historians who answered questions on the Rising and Dublin 100 years ago. Lia Mills, author of Fallen, the "Dublin: One City One Book" choice for this year, was there to talk about writing the book which is set in Dublin in 1915-16.
Just outside kirkgate market. I spotted the window reflection and thought it would make a good shot. The guy in the background is the newspaper seller from one of my other photos.
Reasoning, thinking, reflecting....Soon it is over....Soon the decision is will be made....
.
It was an eye opening day today. I reflected after seeing the answer in front of me. I made a big mistake; regret it already, it is too late....What shall I do? If I could - I would change it.
.
I observed, watched, reflected, thought, reflected again.....April is the month....A stands for AWAKE .... A stands for Assumptions, A stands for Average.....WHAT COULD "A" STAND FOR IT anyway?

"And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Sensitive Plant

"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
- Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
