Più mi addentro nel tortuoso, magico ed infinito universo del Sistema Vivente, più mi convinco che l'uomo non ha inventato nulla che già non esistesse in Natura. Certo, può apparire arduo paragonare questo fiore di sterbergia ad una lampadina, ma cosa distingue un cervello da un computer? Semplicemente il fatto che il compoter viene comandato da altri, mentre il cervello (si spera) viene comandato da ciascuno di noi :-) ..... ..

There is no concrete evidence on who exactly was the first to invent the windmill, whether it was the Chinese or the Persians is up for debate. Regardless, both cultures began using this technology around the same time for the same purposes.
Some believe that the windmill technology was brought to Northern Europe as a result of the crusades, however their horizontal axis design rather than the vertical axis system, makes it just as likely that the Europeans discovered their windmill independently. The first existing illustrations from 1270 A.D. show blue-prints of the post mill type of windmill.
The post mill was composed of a four bladed mill mounted onto a central post, which used wooden cog-and-ring gears to covert the motion of the horizontal shaft to vertical motion that turned a grind stone. According to the Illustrated History of Wind Development, the wooden cog-and-ring gear was used by Vitruvius, an engineer of the Augustan Age, to develop the first horizontal axis water wheel.
The tower mill design is believed to have come into existence around the late 1300s, with the earliest known illustration being of a Normandy Mill between 1430 and 1440. The tower mill was made with sloping walls, a cap that could be rotated, a horizontal wind shaft, and vertical sails.
The smock mill, developed by the Dutch in 1526 based on the tower mill, is a vertical tapered tower with four to six sides topped with a cap that rotates to bring the sails into the wind. The smock mill was named from its resemblance to the smocks worn by farmers at the time.
Over the next 500 years windmills gained many diverse applications beyond just water-pumping and grinding grain including irrigation, drainage pumping, saw milling of timber, and processing tobacco, spices, cocoa, paints, and dyes.

S'il y a bien un mot français dont la polysémie est amplement politique, c'est le terme révolution.
Accolé à la science, il parle de mouvement circulaire et à tout à voir avec Kepler.
Accolé à l'Histoire et il désigne des soulèvements populaires, des chutes de régimes jugés dictatoriaux.
Accolé à la communication politique et commerciale, il ne désigne guère que la confirmation du statu quo.
Accolé aux évolutions technologiques, le voilà étendard des bouleversements profonds qu'une nouvelle invention provoque dans le tissu social.
Accolé à une machine à laver en libre-service, le voilà au service d'un linge à laver plus blanc que blanc.
Et quand tout ça se retrouve sous le viseur d'une Foutographe affamée...

I have to admit that staying away from photography (for different non-reasons invented by me ...) for almost a year was not a good idea at all. Felt like I was discovering the camera for the first time. All the processes took me forever: taking out the camera, figure it out which lens is better to use in different situations, making all the adjustments ... wow ... :). And the results are terrific :(... Well, I have to prepare better for my next trip and hopefully I will have some decent photos.

During the colonial era in Africa, occupied by Europated in what is known as the "Horn of Africaean nations, there were two Somalias. One loc" and belonging to Italy, the so-called Italian Somalia. To the north of it, France colonized a small territory known as French Somalia, which when it gained independence from France was renamed Yibuti in French or Djibouti in Arabic. It is a little-known country, despite the great beauty and diversity of its landscapes. Plenty of desert, volcanic landscapes, slightly mountainous areas, landscapes of ancient volcanic lava flows mixed with arid or desert areas, extinct volcanoes, lakes like Lake Assal, the saltiest lake in the world, located 155 meters below sea level. Or an enormous variety of marine landscapes, mixed with volcanic landscapes and white sand beaches. Being such a small country, the variety of landscapes is immense; it's like a tiny representation of the entire planet concentrated in a small place. In the south of the country lies the Grand Bara Desert, a mixture of desert and extremely arid areas. The Grand Bara Desert was formed from the remains of dry lakebeds that were once lakes, and is now completely arid plains in central and southern Djibouti. In the south of the Grand Bara Desert lies the Goba'ad region and the Grand Bara Depression. The Goba'ad is a plain with narrow "wadi," the Arabic term used to refer to dry channels or ephemeral rivers that only have water during the two or three months of intense rainfall, typical of desert areas. In the south of the Grand Bara Desert, this occurs from late June to September... after which... the rain stops. Rainfall is scarce in Djibouti, and the interior of the country is very hot and dry, so most of the territory is desert or semi-desert. The Goba'ad is located between the Hanle Plain and Lake Abbe, the saltiest lake in the world. The Goba'ad plain and the arid depression of the Grand Bara separate the volcanic zone in this region from the arid zone. The volcanic part of the landscape is formed by extinct lava flows that flowed through these areas from the now-extinct northern volcanoes in past millennia. This clearly defines and clearly distinguishes both the arid and volcanic zones. During the rainy season, water flows across the divide between the two separate zones, or else it follows the path formed by the extinct volcanic lava flows, eroding them and transforming them into an increasingly smooth surface. In contrast, in the arid zone, the clay that makes up this area is poorly drained and sometimes water accumulates during the rainy season, giving rise to the ephemeral growth of some scattered grass or bushes... and very little else... rather little... little...

Nujabes was a Japanese musician and DJ, well-known in his country but somewhat less so abroad due to his short discography and his untimely death. His name was Jun Seba, a first and last name he combined, written in reverse order in Japanese, to create his own anagram: Nujabes. His music had a touch of melancholy and nostalgia. What I value most about him is his enormous ability and creativity to blend musical genres as distant as hip hop and jazz. I also liked the "character" Nujabes, especially his reflections on creativity and love. One of Nujabes's best-known songs is titled "Aruarian." This word has no translation into any language, nor is it officially recognized by the linguistic institutions that regulate the different languages of each country. However, it is included in so-called "urban dictionaries." The word was coined and invented by Nujabes in relation to his reflections on love. The word has a meaning that goes far beyond what is conventionally known as "love." The meaning of "Aruarian" is that of a very deep, almost instinctive connection with another person. A "cavernous love" that one feels for someone without any reason, logic, or motive. Once, reading an interview with Nujabes in a Japanese music magazine, I was surprised to read what he felt when he walked through Shibuya, a well-known area of Tokyo that is always crowded with people, bustling with activity, and fast metropolitan highways. He explained that when he walked through Shibuya, he felt like he was walking through a desert where there was nothing and no one. I suppose everyone who lives in large metropolises has experienced this feeling at some point: feeling surrounded by so many people and yet feeling so alone and misunderstood in life. From today on, these hundreds of square kilometers of the Grand Bara Desert will be called the Little Nujabes Desert. I don't think any Djiboutian would be bothered by a symbolic change of name for this small patch of desert, where there is nothing and no one. So Nujabes can continue wandering alone through these desert places in search of a "cavernous" and profound love, and sleep and rest forever. I'm not going to ask Google Maps to include this name on its satellite map... It's enough for me that it's called this way, in a unique and symbolic way for me... the "Little Nujabes Desert." In 2010, right in the Shibuya area of Tokyo, on one of its fast-moving metropolitan highways, Nujabes had a very serious traffic accident, dying at the age of 36... losing his life, his search for Aruarian, his walks through the Shibuya desert... and forever losing an entire life yet to be lived.

#macromondays #wrapping
For the great upcoming theme called #wrapping i decided to use a combination of a wonderful glittery wrapping paper together with a little helper! The wrapping cuter is pleased to help wrapping up all those gifts for the upcpoming Xmas! Even if he only meassures 15mm, he works like a big guy!
Gift wrapping is the act of enclosing a gift in some sort of material. Wrapping paper is a kind of paper designed for gift wrapping. An alternative to gift wrapping is using a gift box or bag. A wrapped or boxed gift may be held closed with ribbon and topped with a decorative bow (an ornamental knot made of ribbon).
The use of wrapping paper is first documented in ancient China, where paper was invented in 2nd century BC. In the Southern Song dynasty, monetary gifts were wrapped with paper, forming an envelope known as a chih pao. The wrapped gifts were distributed by the Chinese court to government officials. In the Chinese text Thien Kung Khai Wu, Sung Ying-Hsing states that the coarsest wrapping paper is manufactured with rice straws and bamboo fiber.

This field belongs to a neighbor who runs the biggest multiple field farm operation in our county. He alternates between corn, soy, and cereal rye, also known as winter rye because it is planted in winter as a cover crop. Remarkable for its rich color, the field will be cut for hay and grain for cattle just prior to producing seed heads.
Fields like this, with almost undetectable rows and virtually no weeds, are planted with a seed drill, which isn't a drill. It's a wide complicated plow attachment that holds seed, cuts in multiple rows at a preset width and depth, drops the seed at even intervals, and then covers the seed with soil - all in one pass. Lots of moving parts. Primitive seed drills, pulled by man or animals, were used by the Chinese as early as 1200 BC. The modern seed drill was invented and patented by Englishman Jethro Tull in the late 1700s, revolutionizing agriculture - and two hundred years later providing the name for the classic English rock band.

"It is a country to breed mystical people… perhaps poetic people… It was not prairie dwellers who invented the indifferent universe or impotent man. Puny you may feel there, and vulnerable, but not unnoticed. This is a land to mark the sparrow’s fall."
- Wallace Stegner
This is my favourite tree. It's a willow of some kind; I really should collect a leaf and seeds next year and try to I.D. the species. I drive past it - twice - every time I hike the buttes in Grasslands, and whenever the sky looks interesting, I'll stop for a photo.
On this evening, coming back home after the sun had dropped below the horizon, I liked the clouds, and especially the way the afterglow lit them up in the last light of day. The lone tree in silhouette looked great against that sky. Note the Swainson's Hawk nest - the inverted triangular shape near the top. The hawks declined to nest there this year, leading me to believe they know something I don't... maybe the old tree is going to bite the dust soon... I hope not, because it would be like losing an old friend. But every sparrow falls in the end.
Re. the Stegner quote: this is from Wolf Willow, his reminiscence of childhood years spent in and around Eastend, just west of my location, on the Frenchman River, then called Whitemud Creek. A much better name in my opinion. It's the same country, the same land that I photograph almost daily, that somehow, defying expectations, has taken hold of my heart and mind and imagination. So different from where I grew up and other places I've lived. Stegner's feel for it and descriptions of it are the best I've ever read; I think when he refers to mystical people and poetic people, he may be talking about himself.

Thermoscope invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s.
A brief on the science behind it:
Archimedes’ Principle: Objects float or sink depending on whether they are less or denser than the fluid they’re in.
Liquid Density: The clear liquid inside the thermoscope expands slightly as it warms, making it less dense. When it cools, it contracts and becomes denser.
Calibrated Bulbs: Each colored glass bulb has a small metal tag with a specific weight. These weights are carefully chosen so that at certain temperatures, the buoyant force matches the bulb’s weight.

This is one of the most photogenic corners of Lacock, in Wiltshire. This beautiful southern England village has been the location of the filming of several TV series and movies, most notably Downton Abbey and Harry Potter.
But for me, it's mostly relevant because it's one of the places where photography was invented, and the most interestig at that.

Pretty wild to think a Canadian came up with one of the most iconic American sports. 🏀
The game of basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. He was a Canadian physical education instructor working at the Springfield College (then known as the International YMCA Training School). Dr. James Naismith, born in 1861, on a farm on the outskirts of a thriving mill town called Almonte in the Canadian province of Ontario. He created the sport to keep his students active indoors during the cold winter months. Using a soccer ball and two peach baskets nailed to the balcony of a gymnasium, Naismith came up with 13 basic rules.
The birth story of the game of basketball is fascinating to read on the Springfield College website provided below. Naismith used a medieval children’s game called “Duck on a rock” that he used to play when he was a kid as an inspiration when he developed the first rules of basketball. According to Naismith audio story in 1939 about the first game in December 1891, it was a “free-for-all” – nine players were injured. It was not easy to keep college football players from tackling.
In 1904, the game was introduced as a demonstration sport in the Summer Olympics in St. Louis. In 1936, it became an Olympic sport, and Naismith travelled to Berlin to award the medals to the winning teams: gold to the U.S., silver to Canada, and bronze for Mexico. He died at age 74 in 1939.

Il est assez incroyable de penser qu'un Canadien ait inventé l'un des sports américains les plus emblématiques. 🏀
Le basketball a été inventé par le Dr James Naismith en décembre 1891 à Springfield, dans le Massachusetts, aux États-Unis. Ce professeur d'éducation physique canadien travaillait au Springfield College (alors connu sous le nom d'International YMCA Training School). Né en 1861 dans une ferme à la périphérie d'Almonte, une ville industrielle prospère de l'Ontario, le Dr James Naismith a créé ce sport pour permettre à ses élèves de rester actifs à l'intérieur pendant les froids mois d'hiver. À l'aide d'un ballon de soccer et de deux paniers de pêches cloués au balcon d'un gymnase, Naismith a élaboré 13 règles de base.
L'histoire de la naissance du basketball est fascinante à lire sur le site web du Springfield College, disponible ci-dessous. Naismith s'est inspiré d'un jeu médiéval pour enfants appelé « Canard sur un rocher », auquel il jouait enfant, pour élaborer les premières règles du basketball. Selon le récit audio de Naismith de 1939 sur le premier match de décembre 1891, ce fut une véritable mêlée générale : neuf joueurs furent blessés. Il n'était pas facile d'empêcher les joueurs de football universitaire de plaquer.
En 1904, ce sport fut introduit comme sport de démonstration aux Jeux olympiques d'été de Saint-Louis. En 1936, il devint un sport olympique et Naismith se rendit à Berlin pour remettre les médailles aux équipes gagnantes : l'or aux États-Unis, l'argent au Canada et le bronze au Mexique. Il mourut à 74 ans en 1939.

Antoni Gaudí
Gaudí was an architect with an innate sense of geometry and volume, as well as a great imaginative capacity that allowed him to mentally project most of his works before moving them to plans. In fact, he rarely made detailed plans of his works; he preferred to recreate them on three-dimensional models, molding all the details as he thought of them. On other occasions, he would improvise on the fly, giving instructions to his collaborators about what they should do.
The work of Gaudí has achieved a wide international spread over the years, with countless studies dedicated to his way of understanding architecture. Nowadays, it is admired both by professionals and by the general public: La Sagrada Familia is currently one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Between 1984 and 2005 seven of its works have been considered a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
