I was coming up from a dive when I spotted this. The camera was set to a white balance for deeper water (more red, so the jellyfish was whiter in reality), but I thought that the effect was nice. Garnish Pier, County Cork, August 2007.
Essential if one wants to fly in the right direction.
Whenever a significant change is made to an airframe it is necessary to Swing the compass to determine the small errors that residual magnetic fields in the structure have on the compass.
Those errors are recorded on the Compass Card. As can be seen from this card, the errors in this compass are only one or two degrees.

When taking photos of the partially frozen Little Angelesy Lake this morning I found this compass rose. It is in the footpath at the western end of the lake. A Google search has so far failed to find out any information about it. I just like the way it points north towards the far end of Scotland (Rose Ness is at the south eastern end of Orkney mainland) and south to Capetown and then to a local bonfire!

"no direction, I am a compass
constantly spinning
constantly searching for the end
never reaching our destination
but the goal was never when
or where
or who;
it was only you"

Compass Bus has expanded markedly from its Sussex base with an outstation at Dunsfold near Cranleigh. Not far away, in Cranleigh itself, e200 1116 SN66WKE heads through a dreary December morning.
Every Christmas a star is lit on Cabot Tower overlooking the city. This year there is a new one.

"Compass Rose," a mixed media piece. The background picture is a picture of -- wait for it -- garlic knot crumbs in olive oil -- and the top picture is a mirrored picture of a bridge. Both were edited from the mundane into bubblegum magicalness. What kind of world do you think this compass would be for?
My grandfather fought in the Somme and as his birthday is due, This compass was issued to him as an officer during that conflict. He never spoke of his time in the trenches and was gassed twice. He lived to the ripe old age of 93 having worked on the Railways before and during privatisation. He was appalled at what happened to his beloved railway, he refused my Father permission to join the railway and he subsequently became a solicitors clerk before he joined the RAF. My Grandfather was also serving in the ATC and the scouts at the same time.
The compass is still accurate today as it was over a hundred years ago.

The second 'Honk for Hope' UK coach event took place in Blackpool on 14/07/2020 and attracted around 200 coaches for a convoy along the M55 and along the Promenade before returning to the South Car Park at the end of Yeadon Way.
The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the plight many operators currently find themselves in. The UK government has offered no financial help to coach operators due to the Covid pandemic almost wiping out their businesses.
The event was very well organised and attracted plenty of media coverage along with enthusiasts possibly enjoying their only event this year!

The Golden Compass is an anti-Christian movie, based on an anti-Christian book. I agree with this, having read and enjoyed all three books in the series. Note I say enjoyed. I’ve read all sorts of heretical books. They didn’t prevent me from eventually rejecting atheism and finding faith any more than the New York Times did.
Compass in particular is not just any sort of heretical book. It is Gnostic in its theology. The God of Christianity who created the world and angels and the carnal and spiritual natures of man is split, in the Gnostic conception, onto two gods: The Creator who begat angels and human spirits then withdrew from his creation; and the Demiurge who imprisoned the spirit sparks of mankind in gross matter and doomed them to hell while demanding worship as Yahweh. Gnosticism, then, reverses the moral relation between Lucifer the Lightbringer and Yahweh the Demiurge. Obviously this leads directly to Satanism and all sorts of dangerous moral choices. So the fact that Pullman went into Gnosticism didn’t phase me, for I had already encountered the glamor and falseness of the Gnostic worldview, and rejected it.
The Gnostic worldview, and its moral inversion, is also on display in National Geographic’s terrible mistranslation of the Gospel of Judas, a gnostic text that was published last year, and retranslated this year, reversing almost all the controversial conclusions.
And of course the whole conceit behind The DaVinci Code, with Jesus shacking up with Mary Magdalene and founding the Merovingian dynasty, was more Gnostic (in the sense of “hidden knowledge”) claptrap spawned from the same conspiracy theorizing that inspired Holy Blood, Holy Grail. It reduces Jesus to just an ancestor of a European King, rather than the Son of God, and is typical of the Arian heresy that has somehow found its resurgence not only in many modern-day Christian sects but also in Islam.
Back to Pullman. The book that the His Dark Materials reminded me of most was Job, by Robert A. Heinlein, which I read probably 20 years ago. The conceit behind Job is that God and the Devil have a wager over whether the protagonist will end up in Heaven or Hell. The twist is that Hell is actually a nicer place, run by a nicer guy, than Heaven.
I believe that one should find inspiration in the knowledge of what one opposes, not in remaining ignorant of it.

This ex Newport Bus Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer is a surprise recent arrival at Compass Bus. KU52 YKV was new to Thorpes in London as a dual-door bus. It was seen in Lancing this afternoon 17th March, 2023, on a 16 service. Not a camera trick - the front destination was not working.
The Compass is a camp site at the northern end of the massive Finnskogen forest, great in summertime, more or less inaccessible in winter - Hedmark, Norway
Voici la boussole du navire de guerre HMS Belfast, désormais stationné sur la Tamise, en face de «La Cité de Londres». Il est maintenant transformé en musée et il est possible de le visiter de fond en comble! J’ai complété la visite avec mon cousin Fred, venu me rendre visite à Londres, pendant que j’y séjournais. Très agréable.
Pour obtenir un éclairage dynamique, j’ai fait appel à la technique HDR. Ainsi, il est possible de voir à l’extérieur du navire sans que l’intérieur soit mal exposé, et vice versa.

Here is the compass of the HMS Belfast warship, now stationed on the Thames, opposite "The City of London". It is now transformed into a museum and it is possible to visit it from top to bottom! I completed the visit with my cousin Fred, who came from Germany to visit me in London, while I was staying there. Very pleasant.
To get dynamic lighting, I used the HDR technique. Thus, it is possible to see outside the ship without the interior being badly exposed, and vice versa.
