Grandpa's old compass

Don't know how many times I used one of these at school, or had one jabbed in my thumb :)

i was inspired from a banner in front of the aquarium Berlin, when i spent one hour to watch the yellyfishes + the water was not so clear, full of particles + so it looks like a starry sky + here i start with my new album: Jellyfish in space

Jeni's Park, Odin, Minnesota

In the long forgotten past before Sat-Nav (Satellite Navigation) and GPS (Global Positioning System) , we had to find out where we were and where to go using paper maps and strange little manual devices called…..Compasses!

For the group, ‘Crazy Tuesday’ and the theme of ‘Numbers’.

HMM measurement "macro mondays" (9/24)

remember when they handed you the compass and the protractor for making circles, then measuring the number of degrees? the pointy one is the compass-- you're welcome

"People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering."

-- Saint Augustine

Lack of objects for today shooting.

Then I saw my compass on my backpack, idea came!!

I placed the compass on yellow paper for color contrast. Realized no magnets to create magnetic field to rotate the compass.

Found my beads magnet. Setup a LED light and smartphone shutter for 1sec. Moved a cluster of beads magnet to spin the

It worked and also leaving a trail of reflected lights from the beads, bonus!!

Hope you like it !!

A tighter view of a compass plant flower in its absolute prime in Thompson Prairie. Thompson Prairie sits on top of La Crosse Ridge and is surrounded by forested valleys and bluffs. That's why, even though it is a prairie, there are trees in the background of these images.

Dividers and compasses are drawing instruments that are

used to measure distances, transfer lengths from one drawing to another, and to draw circles.

Wildflower, Compass Plant growing along the prairie trail in Hixon Forest, La Crosse, WI

A classic, almost prehistoric-looking prairie wildflower. The tallest one in the middle was around eight feet tall, or about 2.4 meters. Thompson Prairie, where this photo was taken, was filled with them, making for an interesting sight.
