One of Compass Bus' relatively new Enviro200s, SN66WKC, passes along West St in Chichester yesterday.
Compass Bus has expanded markedly from its Sussex base with an outstation at Dunsfold near Cranleigh. Not far away, in Cranleigh itself, e200 1116 SN66WKE heads through a dreary December morning.

A compass rose pointing North in white cedar shingles, which she designed and we built together over the course of a week.
She has just fed Piggy the squirrel a peanut.
Cole seem to like the compass roses i made first.
Here is a more intricate one.( I use a photo editer on my phone to add the letters)

One of the big, bold sunflowers now starting to poke up high above the other plants in the prairies. It has it's common name because supposedly the large leaves at the bottom of the plant turn themselves toward the east and west to catch the sun, therefore the leaves point north or south. My observation is that this is not too reliable.
With grateful thanks to:

Early Portable Compass for the English Civil War.
If you have a compass you also have atime piece. Not only do you know which direction to go in you also know when to go as well.
In early June 2019 I found myself in Brighton with a couple of hours to spare so, despite the inclement weather, I headed for one of the busiest bus corridors I've come across, North Street and Old Steine. The flow of buses from all directions is almost constant, but at least the traffic light system allows you to be in the right place at the right time should you spot something of interest approaching!
The Compass is a camp site at the northern end of the massive Finnskogen forest, great in summertime, more or less inaccessible in winter - Hedmark, Norway
Compass Bus Enviro 200 SK15HBD is seen leaving Guildford Bus Station with a 32 to Redhill, 17th December
Compass Bus took over the 18 on the new, full contract from 30th August 2022, Safeguard having run the revised version of the service on a temporary basis from December 2021 following Arriva's closure.
I believe the buses had their destination blinds sorted by day 2, and here is YX67 UYE showing those off at Bowers Farm Drive, having just spun round the roundabout - although it is actually on a journey that runs to Onslow Village, not Guildford bus station.
This journey runs Bushy Hill - Town Centre - Onslow Village - Town Centre and then only as far as Weylea Farm (rather than all the way to Bushy Hill). Confusingly, the RTI displays at stops had the final destination of "Banks Way" [Weylea Farm] on display the whole way round just to add to the confusion, even though the bus at this point is heading in the opposite direction to that.

Willem Janszoon Blaeu - Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica Ac Hydrographica Tabula auct Gul Janssonio ... 1606.
Rare early state of Guillaume Blaeu's classic world map on Mercator's projection, first issued in 1606.
The present state of the map includes the date of 1606 and the name used by Blaeu in his earliest years, Gul(laume) Janssonius. The inclusion of the Straits of Le Maire dates this map to circa 1617.
One of the finest and most famous world maps to appear in an atlas during the Golden Age of Dutch cartography. The map became Blaeu's standard world map in his atlases until 1662, when he added a double hemisphere map of the world and later a double hemisphere polar projection, which was apparently not issued during his lifetime, but was later issued by Valck.
The map's rectangular shape and regular grid of latitude and longitude lines reflect Blaeu's use of Gerard Mercator's projection which Mercator first introduced in 1569. Blaeu's map is essentially a reduced size version of his wall map of 1605, with basically identical geographical information. As is characteristic of the Mercator projection, the sizes and shapes of land masses in the polar regions are greatly exaggerated. The map is now famous for its elaborate ornamentation, embellished with ships, sea monsters, compass roses, and ornate border panels. Across the top are allegorical representations of the sun and moon and the five known planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The four basic elements, Fire, Air, Water, and Land, are illustrated on the left panel, while the four seasons are depicted on the right panel. The seven wonders of the ancient world are displayed in the bottom panels.
The map incorporates some of the classic early 17th Century cartographic misconceptions, including the elongated NW Coast of America, massive southern hemisphere with narrow strait between it and South America, incomplete New Guinea attached to large southern continent, etc.
This was my first time shooting sunrise at Gasworks. I had to ask a couple guys to get out of my shot so I could get this. I was polite, but they had walked right in front of me while I was exposing without any consideration of the other photographers at all.
This was shot with Lee ND grad filters so I could pull out the foreground detail, with a 5Dmkii, 17-40mm.
Her journey is *almost* done! She can't wait to find out where her forever home will be!
Thank you, Linda, and Sandra, for all of your hard work with this wonderful project, and for letting us be a part of it! Thank you to all of the hosts and hostesses who enjoyed Compass' visit and showed her so many wonderful things this year!
While Compass was home, I cleaned and sanded some dirty areas a bit, washed the back of her head, touched up a few freckles on her nose, gave her some new coats of spray matte, re-glossed her lips, gave her a little vinegar rinse to try to reduce the oxidation in her teal hair, and then washed and conditioned her hair. I'm going to glue down a little scalp gap at the back before I mail her out. (Thanks to those of you who cleaned her during her travels, she was in really good shape!)

In a forgotten study, where dust and sunlight meet in a quiet dance, rests the memory of a man who never stood still.
His heart beat to the rhythm of the tides, and his thoughts carried sails.
Every instrument on his desk, a chapter, every scratch on the brass a decision. He didn’t just travel across seas, he traveled through spaces, through time, between worlds… and maybe even a little farther.
Between knowledge and wonder, between calculation and dream.
The compass, once held in storm and starlit night, no longer points north it points to where longing lives.
And the ship in the painting? Maybe it still sails, who really knows for sure...
Maybe no longer through towering waves,
and yet, still it sails through the stories,
of those who gaze upon it.
