Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.
Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there.

Hope you had a good Sunday.

It took sometime for people to realise the worth of a lush-green forests in comparison to naked hill-slopes, where mud and rocks go screaming down the slope at the first instance of disturbance.
The human loss in Australia because of the bushfires is unfortunate, though.
I hope we learn to be more responsible towards our environment.
You do hope that from these kinds of events people come out the other side having learned a thing or two.
