the bandstand

Sitting proudly in the middle of the recreation ground in Eastleigh is the Victorian bandstand.

I saw the students sitting inside eating their lunch but only spotted the pigeons on the roof when I loaded the shot up to my laptop.

On Groundhog Day my wife and I watched the movie starring Bill Murray, "Groundhog Day". She hadn't seen it and it has been a long time since I saw it. Groundhog Day originated in Pennsylvania on February 4, 1841. In the movie were several scenes that included the bandstand in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania that closely resemble this one.

Perhaps we should name Feb 4th 'Bandstand Day'! (I nearly got the right date!) I'm interested to know that there are these ornate bandstands in other countries too.
