This is the hallway of the Rehab Ward at the Royal Melbourne Hospital Rehabilitation Centre. Tomorrow I will show you some photographs of the rich history of this hospital, but for now this modern ward serves a vital purpose, especially in treating victims of stroke. I caught it in a rare quiet moment.
Here is a brief history of the Royal Melbourne Hospital. This page includes an excellent one minute video that flies through the years.

Never mind the concert, would you just look at those drapes. Maybe it's just me and the camera that get excited over trivial stuff like that!

Ward is a home rule municipality in Boulder County, Colorado, United States. The population was 150 at the 2010 census. The town is a former mining settlement founded in 1860 in the wake of the discovery of gold at nearby Gold Hill. Once one of the richest towns in the state during the Colorado Gold Rush, it is located on a mountainside at the top of Left Hand Canyon, near the Peak to Peak Highway (State Highway 72) northwest of Boulder at an elevation of 9,450 feet above sea level.
The town was named for Calvin Ward, who prospected a claim in 1860 on the site known as Miser's Dream. The town boomed the following year with the discovery by Cyrus W. Deardorff of the Columbia vein. Over the next several decades the population fluctuated, growing from several hundred to several thousand before declining once again. The mines in the area remained profitable for many decades, with one mine eventually producing over 2 million ounces of silver. A post office with the name Ward District was established January 13, 1863; the name was changed to Ward, September 11, 1894. The city was incorporated in June 1896. The railroad reached the area in 1898, arriving over the Whiplash and Switzerland Trail, which climbed over 4,000 feet from Boulder over the course of 26 miles. In January 1900 over 50 buildings were destroyed by a devastating fire, although the profitability of the mines led to the immediate rebuilding of the town. The town was largely deserted by the 1920s, but the construction of the Peak-to-Peak Highway in the 1930s led to a revival of the town. During WWII the town's year-round population dropped to four people. Then, in the 1960s, the town's population jumped from between 10-20 year-round residents to well over 100 due to the town's interest to, hippies. Thats right, "hippies".
The town has several businesses along its main street, including a restaurant, a coffee shop, an art gallery, and general store.

The 1898 Montgomery Ward Tower
Montgomery Ward
Life Span: 1899-Present
Location: 6 N. Michigan Avenue
Architect: Richard E. Schmidt
Stories: 12
<bThe Tower Building, at 6 N. Michigan Ave.,
on the N.W. corner of Madison /Michigan,
formerly known as the Montgomery Ward & Co. building,
with a frontage of 86 feet on N. Michigan avenue
and 163 feet on E. Madison street,
was built in 1899 of steel frame construction
to a height of 12 stories,
with a tower and one basement, on 50-foot wood pile foundations.
The three lower floors were designed for a live load of 200 pounds per square foot, the nine upper floors for 150 pounds per square foot.
This made it possible for later owners to add four stories without reinforcing the columns of the lower stories.
Richard E. Schmidt was the architect.
The 22.5-foot weather vane, Progress Lighting the Way for Commerce, was set October 20, 1900.
It was modeled by J. Massey Rhine.
The street facade of the lower three stories is of carved Georgia marble.
The cost of the original building was 36.7 cents per cubic foot.
At the time of its completion, this was the tallest building in Chicago.
Originally at 394 feet high, the Montgomery Ward Building is currently 282 feet (86 m) tall,
following the removal of a pyramid top and sculpture.
