Had the day off today (because after going out of town over the weekend, I like to have a day off) and went downtown with Amy and Willow. We were hoping to check out the holiday carousel, but sadly, they were still putting it together. Instead, we checked out the Mission and History Museum, so it was still a day of fun adventures!
At the History Museum, there was an exhibit about fishing and so I got this shot of an old compasss.

Year 2, Day 340
[Total Consecutive Days: 705]
The Compasses, Beveley, on what was the old Roman road, Watling Street. Now a quiet backwater position.
Lucky enough to visit the original inspiration in person at the hotel Cuq en Terrasses near Toulouse. You can see that I made the project a little more colorful than the original.
My Compass
Windblown,
Sea-tossed
Accident of birth,
The compass pulls me
Still and steady,
Exerts a force I cannot
Deny.
Good or ill,
Richer or poorer,
In sickness or in health;
It is a marriage made
Not in heaven, but
History.
(I had actually planned to continue my Gettysburg photos today, but - like the compass - I was pulled in a different direction. Or perhaps it is not so different after all.)
