A compass rose adorns the square in front of the Monument to the Discoveries. Made of black and red lioz limestone, it has a 50 m diameter, and contains a 14 m-wide planisphere decorated with vegetal elements, 5 small compass roses, 3 blowing faces personifying the wind, a mermaid, a mythical fish and Neptune with a trident and a trumpet, riding a marine beast. Dates, ships and caravels mark the main routes of the Portuguese expansion between the 15th and 16th centuries. The background consists of ‘open sea’ waves, a motif commonly used for the typical Portuguese cobblestone pavements. The compass rose was designed by architect Luís Cristino da Silva, and bestowed by the Republic of South Africa, which joined in the commemorations for the Infante. Inaugurated on 5 August 1960

Why not a chicken compass?? #icad2016 Day9 Compass (phMartenLiquidWatercolors, oil pastels, brush pen)
This is my Silva compass. Part of its perspex base has broken off. It's little used now that Google Maps and OS maps online make instruments like this almost obsolete. However, it does not need batteries, nor does it lose its signal, so still useful as a backup. Probably about fifty years old now and still working.

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"
