The two largest denominations in 19th century Australia were the Catholic Church (particularly related to the Irish working classes) and the Church of England. Australia has never had an official state church, but the establishment were always C of E (now Anglican).
St John's is the oldest church building in Launceston - 1824. It is in two parts (I'll attach a link to some earlier photos below). the larger section at the rear was designed by Alexander North and dates from 1902.
But this shot features the wonderful front section of the church for several reasons. Its architectural simplicity and beauty, that gorgeous blue clockface, the clear glass windows and the shuttered windows in the spire (partly concealed by the trees in this shot).
But by far, my greatest interest in this section of St John's Church is that it was built by relatively anonymous convicts (many of them Irish Catholics). I dedicate this photo to their memories.
Launceston was the first city in Tasmania to oppose convict transportation, mainly through the agitation and tireless work of the Reverend John West.
But there's more...
In 1849 a group of Launceston women stitched Australia’s first navy blue flag, which had a Union Jack in the top left corner and a four-star Southern Cross on the right side.
It was displayed in 1851 as an act of defiance at a Melbourne gathering of the anti-transportation movement, which was united by a radical agenda to change the established order through peaceful means and end the transportation of convicts to Australia. By 1852 their campaign was successful and the transportation of convicts from Britain to Australia came to an end.

A Girl Dreaming
A poem by Katie Gabrielle
What thoughts race across
The sleepy lids of those
Who dream with eyes wide open
Never closed
Where Imagination and Reality Meet
Where colors look like fireflies
Across the evening skies
And flowers taste like candy
A little girl races across the night
Believing in what no one ever could
Wishing can make it so
Dreams are the wishes we wish
When we are awake
Little girl dreaming
And if you wish long enough
Your little girl dreams will come true
To see a young couple loving each other is no wonder, but to see an old couple loving each other is the best sight of all...they make us believe that True Love Exist..
For me this was beautiful moment...I am always happy when I see old couples together, smile, enjoy each others company, be still in love, helping each other , still walk through life by each others side etc.. it´s just..make me happy and emotionaly and all those good stuff ..hope you appreciate this moment too.. :)
WR 134 is a true exotic, a Wolf-Rayet star. The name, Wolf and Rayet? Those were the guys who, in the mid-19th century, suddenly saw spectra while observing stars in Cygnus, unusual, spectacular. It had to be a new class of stars: the Wolf-Rayet stars! And WR 134 is one of them. A Wolf-Rayet variable star. But what makes it so special? Let's say it's under stress; these are stars that have reached the end of their lives, or are close to it. They're practically blowing their outer shells out into space at an incredible speed, over 1,000 km per second, a stellar wind that's quite powerful! And this wind, this material that's being ejected, forms a kind of bubble around the star, a bubble nebula, which can be seen in this image with such a wonderfully delicate bluish hue thanks to the long exposures with my OIII filter. And the star itself? It's not huge in diameter, about five times the radius of the sun, so that's okay. But the temperature: over 63,000 Kelvin! For comparison: Our sun has a surface temperature of around 5,500 Kelvin. So this WR star is brutally hot. And because it's so hot and blasts so much energy into the surrounding interstellar gas and dust, it's also 400,000 times brighter than the sun! So these aren't just cozy stars anymore; they're, let's say, the rock stars among the stars: extreme, short-lived, and they actively shape their environment.
WR 134 ein echter Exot, ein Wolf-Rayet-Stern. Der Name, Wolf und Rayet? Das waren die Typen, die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bei der Beobachtung von Sternen im Schwan plötzlich Spektren sahen, ungewöhnlich, spektakulär. Das musste eine neue Sternenklasse sein: die Wolf-Rayet-Sterne! Und WR 134 ist so einer. Ein veränderlicher Wolf-Rayet-Stern. Aber was macht den so besonders? Der ist sagen wir mal im Stress, das sind Sterne, die sind am Ende ihres Lebens angekommen oder kurz davor. Die pusten ihre äußeren Hüllen geradezu ins All hinaus mit irrsinniger Geschwindigkeit, über 1000km pro Sekunde, ein Sternenwind, der es in sich hat! Und dieser Wind, diese Materie, die da rausgeschleudert wird, die bildet um den Stern herum so eine Art Blase, einen Blasennebel, der auf dem Bild dann durch die Langzeitbelichtungen mit meinem OIII-Filter so wunderbar zartbläulich zu sehen ist. Und der Stern selbst? Der ist nicht riesig vom Durchmesser her, so fünffacher Sonnenradius, geht also. Aber die Temperatur: über 63.000 Kelvin! Zum Vergleich: Unsere Sonne hat an der Oberfläche um die 5.500 Kelvin. Dieser WR-Stern ist also brutal heiß. Und weil er so heiß ist und so viel Energie in das ihn umgebende interstellare Gas und den Staub rausballert, ist der auch 400.000-mal heller als die Sonne! Das sind also keine gemütlichen Sterne mehr, das sind, sagen wir mal die Rockstars unter den Sternen: extrem, kurzlebig, und sie gestalten ihre Umgebung ganz aktiv mit.

True North is non-negotiable since a compass will always show where it is relative to your current position. There's a metaphorical significance to this concept somewhere. I just don't know where to begin looking.

this song just came into my head when thinking of putting on this picture, inspired me for the title and then this video was also in pink...
before the image itself had made me think of Fred and Ginger dancing... on one of these old romantic tunes, but maybe also Bing and Grace did some dancing together (wouldn 't know, not interested in the movie, just in this song which is a classic, good for all times... also future dancing I 'ld think)
anyway, so I didn 't choose a video with the movie scene of this song 'cause they were just laying on a boat there, furthermore most of the videos had a bad old sound, weren 't pleasing to the ear... this one wasn 't too bad of quality... and I ran out of time for searching another one still, 'cause my daughter was coming to dinner and after that we spent the rest of the evening till late searching the internet looking for suitable lighting for her new house which is going to be finished somewhere next month... helping to decide!
COLD TRAIN
The train is cold, but the block is hot. I saw two different cold trains tis day. Two different spots. Both of which were risky as hell. I got hassled for taking this photo.

The murals by Alan True showing Native Americans in the Renaissance Hotel (originally the Colorado National Bank) are placed up high near the ceiling where many visitors may not notice them.
Quoting from Amy Zimmer "The Murals of Allen True"
Published on October 21, 2019
Former Technical Services Librarian at State Publications Library
"True’s set of murals for the Colorado National Bank building, entitled “Indian Memories” (1921-26), depict Native American life in the days before the coming of the white man."
True was a remarkable artist who spent a lifetime trying to depict life in the West authentically. You can learn of his life in a wonderful 56 minute program from PBS — "Allen True's West"
Sadly, some his murals met an untimely end when the buildings they were in were torn down to make room for new ones.
I'm a little late to the blue party but I made it! Today was busy because this little one had her ballet recital. Here she is, with her sweet blue eyes, just freshly out of the bath and getting ready for the big show. When I look into those eyes I see my Mom and my Nan.
Because this was my baby's big day, she starts my week of true blue.
