The Algoma Compass arrived in port early yesterday morning. She brought with her a load of cement to be used for construction. Sometimes she will deliver road salt. It is always amazing to walk beside such a large vessel and wonder at how it stays afloat. When you look at her hull, there are stories to tell in the scratches, scrapes and rust patches.
just outside of baxter state park.
thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. much appreciated!

this was taken at Teton National Park, right after I took pictures at a place called Mormon Row at sunrise. It was just really spontaneous. I wanted to upload it last week, but I didn't have good wifi.
This past week I've been to Yellowstone, the Black Hills in South Dakota, The St. Louis Arch, and now I'm in Kentucky about to go to Mammoth Cave! I can't wait:D
I hope you all have had a lovely week, and I'll be catching up on streams soon when I get back home on Monday!
(and to Amy, Korinne, and Riley: WE NEED TO DO MORE FACE IN HOLES SOON <333)

Glow-in-the dark items store and radiate visible light. They radiate even more light if hit by ultraviolet. I hung this compass by a thread and "charged" it up using a UV flashlight.
Side note, most fluorescent bulbs and even some LED lights emit visible white light by starting with an ultraviolet source such as the ionized gas in the fluorescent bulb which then strikes a phosphor surface causing it to glow white.
The history of a magnetic compass to find direction dates back to the Han Dynasty in China (206 BC - AD 220). Initially the use of magnetic lodestones allowed the practice of Feng Shui to determine the most propitious orientation for buildings and gardens.
The first compass of the type we see above, with the magnetised needle, appeared in China during the 11th century. This allowed for portability and it became an enormous boon to Chinese sailors.
The story of this replica (from the 18th century I believe) is that it was carried by the first group of Chinese miners who arrived at the Victorian goldfields in Ararat around 1850. Their story is truly remarkable and the use of this type of compass proved invaluable. They sailed into Robe, South Australia (since they were unable to dock in Victoria - Port Phillip), and then set off on a long march, with compasses in hand, to the newly discovered goldfields. The nearest destination was Ararat over 300 kilometres away.

A compass is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, they can also be used as tools to measure distances, in particular on maps. Compasses can be used for mathematics, drafting, navigation, and other purposes. (Wikipedia)

Not usually an engineer's item, but I saw it, saw the price ($21) and had to have it. I might take off the top and repaint the face of the compass... we shall see.

Going retro with this shot. This is my first compass. It's an official BSA Silva Pathfinder compass I got when I was a Cub Scout about 1958. The Mineral King quad topographic map shown here is not quite as old. It was printed in 1973, but it is based on 1955 aerial surveys and 1956 field checking of the region.

Massive looking ornament of weathered stone of 25 cm or almost 10 inches on the monument of Columbus in Barcelona. There are a lot of them placed vertically around the column. By my Point of View it appears more to be laying down.
"Probably the most complicated miniature camera ever made," says this article. Seen at the Portuguese Center for Photography, Porto.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
-William Shakespeare
Walking the black hiking trail in Marstrand, on the west coast in Sweden, you will find this painted compass by Carl-Michael Ström.
I've always enjoyed finding Compass Plants and marveling at their height. Reaching up to 10 feet, they tower over other prairie plants. It's even better when you find one standing tall and straight as they tend to arch over from their own weight. Silphium laciniatum is native to MN. Olmsted County, MN 08/29/20
Those with a drone in their photography arsenal know about the 'compass calibration' that's often times required before flying. Some extra time to set up for a shot is required with a drone vs a standard DSLR camera. The compass calibration nearly hung me on this one with the first attempt failing. Being down to the wire when the second compass calibration was successful, there were only seconds remaining to fly over and position the drone for this single shot.
Slicing thru the recently harvested fields within the Minnesota River valley, a westbound ballast train is nearing New Ulm MN on CP's Tracy Sub. Some Herzog personnel were on hand to assist in dumping, which would be around the Sleepy Eye area after sunset.
