On a walk around Mona Vale with a Flickr freind May 2019 Christchurch New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT). The fernery and the rose garden, and pavilion with the setting of the park along the Avon River, add to the attractiveness of the property. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Christchurch.
The land initially belonged to the Deans brothers, whose homestead is Riccarton House in Riccarton. William Derisley Wood leased the land and built what became known as Wood's Mill. The weir in the Avon River was built in the 19th century and forms the Mona Vale mill pond, which still exists today.
Frederick Waymouth and his wife Alice purchased four acres of land and had a homestead built in 1899–1900, designed by architect Joseph Clarkson
Maddison.Waymouth, who called the homestead Karewa, was the Managing Director of Canterbury Frozen Meats. Maddison was a well-known Christchurch architect, who amongst other buildings designed the freezing works in the Christchurch suburb of Belfast. It is thought that this connection between Waymouth and Maddison led to this commission.
The Mona Vale gate house in 2007
Waymouth sold the property to Annie Quayle Townend in 1905, who renamed it to Mona Vale after her mother's house in Tasmania. She was the daughter of a wealthy Canterbury run-holder, George Moore of Glenmark Station. She was his only surviving daughter and he had bequeathed her one million pounds, apparently making her New Zealand's richest woman at the time. Townend added nine acres of land to the property and had a gate house built just off Fendalton Road. After the New Zealand International Exhibition, held in Hagley Park, finished in 1907, she purchased the exhibitions fernery including its plants and had it reassembled at Mona Vale. The present collection of ferns were supplied by Landcare Research in Lincoln, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the private collection of the late Arthur Ericson. Townend also added the bathhouse to the property. She died in 1914.
The property was sold in 1962 to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. When the church intended to subdivide the property and to demolish the homestead, a public outcry resulted in community fund-raising. The Christchurch City Council and the Riccarton Borough Council bought Mona Vale in June 1969 for the purpose of turning it into a public park. The purchase of Mona Vale is credited to Christchurch mayor Ron Guthrey.
Until the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, the homestead was operated as a restaurant, café and function centre, often used for weddings. The building is currently closed due to earthquake damage.
Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for smooth surfaces, the angle at which light is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected.
BTW it's a real reflection and my friend standing there on the beach

Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Tucker County, West Virginia. I drove to Canaan Valley the day before the Potomac Highlands photography workshop (Randall Sanger Photography) and was rewarded by being able to accompany workshop leaders Randy Sanger and Todd Williams the evening before to scout a possible site for the workshop. Sunset that evening was the most colorful sunset or sunrise of the week (below), although it came many minutes after this shot. The refuge was created in 1994 with just 86 acres; now it has nearly 17,000 acres, nearly half of them wetlands -- the largest wetlands complex in West Virginia.
I still have several photos from the September workshop that I've not posted, but I'm about to set out for another workshop (this photo has been loaded, ready to open, for ages -- I see that I put the photo in the comment space three months ago). I enjoy going out with other photographers, and the workshops get me to areas I might not visit on my own -- and force me to get up for sunrise!

East Park, on a cold frosty morning ice on the lake and pathways so care when walking. These are mainly reflection photos apart from one showing rubbish thrown over the bridge, where all these were taken from felt safer staying on the top.
During the summer months Mt. Hood, Oregon's tallest mountain, a dormant volcano, loses most of her snow cap exposing the rocky surface to the sunlight. Deep in the Mt. Hood national forest Trillium lake catches an almost perfect reflection of Mt. Hood in it's still waters with the peak of the mountain flanked by the shoreline rocks.
After trawling round croydon for about an hour in the wind and freezing cold, I finally found this lovely modern building (Bernard Weatherall Building) right next to this beautiful clock tower at the Croydon Town Hall.
The venue contains the Museum of Croydon, the David Lean Cinema, which offers a regular programme of art house and independent films, a Youth Ambassadors group, aimed at bringing more young people to the Clocktower, and a café and bar. The venue also contains the Braithwaite Hall, which was used for concerts, theatre and children's shows, until 2011 when its funding was cut by the Council, and it lost its Arts Council RFO status.
The centre is owned and run by Croydon Council, and also houses Croydon's Central Library. The building links into the Town Hall and some areas of the building, most notably the Braithwaite Hall, are part of the original town hall and library complex, built in 1892–1896 to a design by Charles Henman Jun.
The Clocktower is the tower of the Town Hall. New buildings were built alongside the Town Hall and were opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994. A notable early success was the Picasso exhibition in March to May 1995 named Picasso's Croydon Period.
