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
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’.
A compass rose is a symbol in the form of a circle that has marked around the directions in which the circumference of the horizon is divided, and which would be south, east, north and west. His invention is attributed to the Mallorcan Ramon Llull, although the detailed description given by Pliny the Elder in the book could have been his basic reference.
In the navigation charts it is represented by thirty-two (deformed) rhombuses joined at one end while the other indicates the course on the circle of the horizon. Above all is the fleur de lis with which the North is usually represented. This symbol is documented from the XV century.
Una rosa de los vientos es un símbolo en forma de círculo que tiene marcado alrededor los rumbos en que se divide la circunferencia del horizonte, y que serían sur, este, norte y oeste. Su invención se atribuye al mallorquín Ramon Llull, aunque la descripción pormenorizada que da Plinio el Viejo en libro podría haber sido su referencia básica.
En las cartas de navegación se representa por treinta y dos rombos (deformados) unidos por un extremo mientras que el otro señala el rumbo sobre el círculo del horizonte. Sobre el todo se sitúa la flor de lis con la que se suele representar el Norte. Ese símbolo se documenta a partir del siglo XV.

Bear Den Mountain, Adirondacks
I long for the days when I had a constitution of steel, driven to climb all of the peaks arrayed before me, and all the other compass points I could turn and look out at from this vantage point. This place has long been a favorite spot to break out my gear and look for compositions, whether as part of the longer hike south of me, or as a destination for a shorter outing. This morning the sun has gained on me, low in winter trajectory and casting its shadows as it clears the ridges behind me. Its burn highlights the iron oxide in an erratic deposited here in the pleistocene, as the massive ice sheets sculpted the Adirondack dome. North Country lore is sprinkled with iron. Furnaces and ore pits still stand in parts of the landscape, a history hinted at in my reddish-tinged granite boulder, posing on the verge of the Ausable Valley. I’ve been fortunate to have explored so much of America’s wildness; this country stands as hard as any landscape I’ve been in, and it hardens those willing to return after being scathed. Switchbacks were mostly unheard of up here, so topping these mountains is as much a matter of iron will as physical prowess. I have a long and chequered history of loves, romantic and spiritual, each accusing the other of time spent devoting my fidelities elsewhere. My regrets haunt me still. Rock will wear smooth, the forests will darken, iron will rust, and youth fades. The heart never concedes.
Boat run high and dry.
A three hour cruise ? :-)

고단한 하루가 끝나지 않는
이미 늦은 저녁
전화기 너머 들리는
네 웃음소리
난 다시 일어날 수 있어
아직 내겐
너라는 선물이 있으니까
아직 이 황량한 세상 속에
너는 내 곁에 있어주니까
아침마다 쏟아지는 햇살이
부담스러울 때
어느새 곁에 다가와 잠든
네 얼굴에
난 다시 일어날 수 있어
아직 내겐
너라는 선물이 있으니까
아직 이 황량한 세상 속에
너는 내 곁에 있어주니까
어지러웠던 하루하루가
먹구름처럼 내 앞을
가로막아도
너의 눈빛이
마치 꼭 나침반처럼
내 갈 길 일러주고 있으니
아직 내겐
너라는 선물이 있으니까
아직 이 황량한 세상 속에
너는 내 곁에 있어주니까
my compass is you aine♥♥♥
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 !!

Compass (L), and Divider (R)
Dividers and compasses are drawing instruments that are
used to measure distances, transfer lengths from one drawing to another, and to draw circles.

J'ai retrouvé ce Compas dans les affaires laissées par mon père. Je le garde précieusement et le range parmi mes objets de collection. #Macro #MacroMondays #Father
