week 29 - compass. My first time trying this pose! I'd seen it, but didn't see how to get into it until yoga class this week. Very excited. :)

Today, Compass Bus took over 5 buses worth of East Sussex County Council tenders previously operated by Renown. GX 05 AOP was seen on the Newhaven Town Service this morning.
Apparently this compass Rose represents the different Celtic peoples of the world. It's located close enough to the Tower of Hercules that this photo was taken from its shadow. The endless view over the Atlantic would have represented the literal end of the Earth for the Romans who first came to the region in the second century B.C.E.

Former National Travel East Leyland Leopard Duple Dominant MWG 500P was one of many ex NBC Leopards refurbished by Stuart Johnson dealer before onward sale. This example passed to Compass Royston of Stockton-on-Tees and was seen in Scarborough in July, 1989.
A compass is a navigational instrument that shows directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions (or points), north, south, east, and west. Intermediate directions are also defined. Usually, a diagram called a compass rose, which shows the directions (with their names usually abbreviated to initials), is marked on the compass. When the compass is in use, the rose is aligned with the real directions in the frame of reference, so, for example, the "N" mark on the rose really points to the north. Frequently, in addition to the rose or sometimes instead of it, angle markings in degrees are shown on the compass. North corresponds to zero degrees, and the angles increase clockwise, so east is 90 degrees, south is 180, and west is 270. These numbers allow the compass to show azimuths or bearings, which are commonly stated in this notation.
There are two widely used and radically different types of compass. The magnetic compass contains a magnet that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and aligns itself to point to the magnetic poles. The gyro compass (sometimes spelled with a hyphen, or as one word) contains a rapidly spinning wheel whose rotation interacts dynamically with the rotation of the earth so as to make the wheel precess, losing energy to friction until its axis of rotation is parallel with the earth's.
The magnetic compass was invented in ancient China around 247BCE, and was used for navigation by the 11th century. The compass was introduced to medieval Europe 150 years later, where the dry compass was invented around 1300. This was supplanted in the early 20th century by the liquid-filled magnetic compass.

Compass Illuminati is a 3D mixed media collage of hand cut digitally manipulated images printed on archival cotton rag paper. Each hand cut image is given it's depth through strategically place foam core supports that are not visible. Artistically bent copper wire zig zags through the image adding further depth. The finished collage is sealed with UV spray to protect against fading.
The finished collage is placed in a shadow box square frame with glass front measuring 5"W x 5"H x 1.75"D.
This is an original one of a kind ( OOAK )
