i will use this for a visual metaphor one day. for something. im not sure what exactly... maybe it could be a visual metaphor for how I'm unsure of what this could be a visual metaphor for. no, no... but it could be a metaphor for my thinking (but not exactly being sure) it could be a metaphor for how I am unsure of what this could be a visual metaphor for but then the later being more appropriate would render the former more appropriate..... no.
A profile of a Compass soil. Compass soils are moderately well drained and are on summits of ridges and high stream terraces. They have an argillic horizon of brownish yellow sandy loam and sandy clay loam. The lower part of the argillic horizon has masses of reddish, nodular plinthite and has grayish iron depletions. (Soil Survey of Crenshaw County, Alabama)
The Compass series consists of very deep, moderately well drained, moderately slowly permeable soils on broad uplands and sloping side slopes that lead to drainageways in the coastal plain. They formed in thick loamy and clayey marine sediments. Near the type location, the mean annual temperature is about 68 degrees F., and the mean annual precipitation is about 56 inches. Slopes range from 0 to 8 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic Plinthic Paleudults
Solum thickness ranges from 60 to more than 80 inches. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid throughout except where the surface has been limed. Depth to horizons containing 5 percent or more plinthite ranges from 30 to 50 inches. Content of ironstone nodules ranges from 0 to 5 percent in the A and upper Bt horizons. Depth to the B2t horizons ranges primarily from 40 to 60 inches but as deep as 80 inches in some pedons. These horizons are considered diagnostic for the series.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas of Compass soils are in native vegetation. A few small areas are cleared and planted to peanuts, corn, soybeans, and improved pasture grasses. The native vegetation consists of longleaf pine, slash pine, white oak, red oak, laurel oak, water oak, persimmon, sweetgum, gallberry, waxmyrtle, huckleberry, greenbriers, blackberries, and pineland threeawn.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northwest Florida and Alabama. The series is of moderate known extent.

This small compass features a polarized needle, degree indications, as well as eight major points.
All this in a inch and a quarter, it's the perfect, light weight tool you'll need to romp around the woods, or the even more foreign huge cities.
I love how concerned her expression is.
That's all for right now, she'll have to wait a couple of days (when it isn't over 100 degress out) to go on some adventures!

This compass rose was in the entry way to my favorite English-language bookstore (since closed), Maruzen.
One day whilst cleaning out my shed, I found this item. I thought is was interesting enough to take a photo of.

Compass Song is an app-based public sound artwork inspired by Times Square’s rich history as the Crossroads of the World. Artists Mendi + Keith Obadike have stretched fragments of music, poetry, stories, and myths across the pedestrian plazas and surrounding blocks in all four cardinal directions, for visitors to discover whether they’re exploring the neighborhood or simply on their way to work. Compass Song was commissioned by and created in residence with Times Square Arts. Photo courtesy of Ian Douglas for Times Square Arts.
