As some of you know, one of my hobbies is paranormal investigation. My aim is to find strong evidence of the existence of life after death. I have used all sorts of kit, some useful and some not so useful. In an attempt to find a good way to communicate, I have made a compass Ouija. I got the idea when I was at an investigation at Anne of Cleeves house in Lewes. In one room, we appeared to be talking to a ship's captain. In another room, we appeared to be talking to someone who was rather freaked out by our electronic gadgetry, with its flashing LEDs. I wanted to design something that wouldn't look intimidating to someone from a pre-electronic age, that stood some chance of being manipulable, was capable of capturing language-based communication and that was as immune to human influence as possible. So, this. It is built on the principle that "spirits" appear to find it difficult to move physical objects, but can make changes to electromagnetic fields (such as setting off EMF meters). So, they should also be able to manipulate a compass needle, by the same principle. I finally found a large enough compass to be able to see and give us room for manoeuvre. I also needed something that could be sealed, to avoid breeze (this has a clear lid). I will be debuting it on Saturday, so will report back on whether it works. In spite of its size, I am dubious about whether movements will be precise enough to use the letters and numbers, but let's see. I always have the "Yes", "No" responses to fall back on.

I don't think anyone has ever made such a meal of repainting acquired vehicles as Compass Bus with their fleet of four London United Scania OmniCities but YT59 DYW now looks presentable with destination displays fitted too. It does retain its dual-door layout as illustrated in this scene at Billingshurst this afternoon, 4th October, 2023.

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!
Best viewed in Large.
This silly compass
Shows South instead of North
But if you let it
Will show you what you are looking for...
Thanks for the visits and have a great weekend!
On 29th August, 1992, Compass Royston sent this Ford R1114 Duple Dominant 2 to Scarborough for the day. MAA 419T had been new to Trev's, Fair Oak, Hants.
I'd never been too happy with shots I took of this wildflower from the sunflower family. There were only three of these flowers out, and I got the idea to shoot one of them with a small, white cloud in the background. I like this one a lot better than my previous efforts..... The background can make so much difference in macro shots....
Compass plant contains a resinous sap that was used by Native Americans as a chewing gum. Some tribes burned the dried roots to ward off lightening during storms. They believed that lightening occurred more frequently where compass plant grew, and they would not camp in those locations. The name "compass plant" alludes to the tendency for basal leaves of plants to align their edges north and south.
