We are in 2017 now and aeroplanes have not been invented for a lot more than just 100 years. But air travel is growing massively. As they fly higher and faster we get more and more contrails.
If our skies can look this messed up now what will they look like in 20-30 years?
We should start thinking now. What can we do so that unmanaged air travel does not completely desecrate the look of the sky that we so often enjoy from the ground?
Do we require that they only create pleasing designs or patterns in the aerial landscape or weave colours into the clouds? Or that they can only fly on cloudy days so that they cannot be seen below?
But one must consider that in perhaps 50 years time someone will look up in the sky, possibly when there is a French Air Traffic control strike or some volcanic ash in the atmosphere, and say "Wow, a totally blue sky! I've never seen that before! Not one vapour trail!" Quick grab a photo and stick it on flickr so everyone can see!"
Excerpt from the plaque:
Purgatory: When Dante, his guide Virgil and the reader come out of Inferno, they find themselves in front of a mountain: Purgatory*, which was “invented” shortly before Dante wrote La Divina Comedia. It is a place of transition that allows purification, thus improving the human who passes through it. Unlike Inferno, Purgatory Leads to heights and as such promotes intellectual, cultural and spiritual elevation. Dante, Virgil and the reader climb Purgatory like an interior mountain and cross its seven ledges, representative of the seven deadly sins.
This passage through Purgatory allows one to surpass and free oneself from all the deprives the soul of the beauty, richness and order to which it aspires. During his slow progress, Dante sees the fog and clouds that clogged his mind dissipate. He frees himself from confusion and everything becomes clearer and clearer until he reaches the top where Paradise sits. In this sense, Purgatory is an elevation of the mind towards Paradise, because it allows the mind to rid itself of the illusions that keep it in a perpetual waking dream state.
*In the middle of the twelfth century, the “beyond” underwent “a major map reworking”. Between the two traditional places of heaven and hell, the topography was enriched by a third place: purgatory. From the need to imagine a place for the intermediate dead was born purgatory.
In 1868, British police first manually used red and green gas lights to control horse carriage traffic at night outside the House of Commons. According to Washington State University Magazine, the Americans then contributed the following:
"American policeman Lester Wire designed the first electric traffic light. It was first installed in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 5, 1914, at the corner of 105th and Euclid Avenue.
1917 — First interconnected traffic signal system installed in Salt Lake City, with six connected intersections controlled simultaneously from a manual switch.
1920 — William Potts, a Detroit policeman, invented the first four-way and three-colored traffic lights. He introduced yellow lights to indicate the light would change soon. Detroit became the first city to implement the four-way and three-colored traffic lights."

Shengshou Speed Cube.
Rubik's Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the Magic Cube, the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp. in 1980 via businessman Tibor Laczi and Seven Towns founder Tom Kremer, and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes had been sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
HMM! and Happy New Year to everyone.
Colour photography only became possible after 1906 when it was possible to produce a coloured image from a single negative. Before this it was really a product of the printing technique invented in Switzerland, known as a "photochrom".
To show you how the Photochrom process worked I have produced the following two collages. In this case we take a standard black and white image and produce three colourised versions. The photchrom technique used Red, Blue and Green (RBG). However, the saturation levels are very important in producing the desired effect.
In this image we saturate each "slide" up to 50 percent. When blended in the image above we see that red dominates, green is present, but blue is almost invisible.

1. Pop top opener–(part of the metal lid opens for sips but doesn't end up in the drink) invented by American engineer Ermal Fraze
2. Aluminum can–invented by Coloradan engineer Bill Coors of the Coors Beer family
3. Aluminum production–invented by American student/entrepreneur Charles Martin Hall and French professor Paul Héroult at Oberlin College in Ohio, who in 1886 invented the modern electrolytic process of aluminum extraction from its ore called the Hall-Héroult process, which is still used.
4. Carbonated soda pop–carbonation was first observed to be transmittable by Britain's Joseph Priestley in 1767, mass produced as carbonated water by Switzerland's Jacob Schwepp of the Schwepp Company, and finally the first flavorful carbonated soda pop was created by America's Charles Hires and his root beer in 1876.
5. Pepsi-cola–created by North Carolinian pharmacist Caleb Bradham

CCWeek28: scavenger hunt (aluminum can)
Safe passage by road between most of Scotland and much of coastal Argyll is blocked by the Arrochar Alps – a range of hills far smaller than their European counterparts but still with plenty of ruggedness of their own. Rest and Be Thankful is the summit of a scenic road pass well worth driving for the views alone, even if you aren’t using it to get somewhere. Beinn an Lochain, Ben Donich and several more of the “Alps” are all well seen (and climbed) from the road, with an equally fine view down Glen Croe (not to be confused with Glencoe!) from the top. This pass has been the way across since 1752 when soldiers constructed a military road over the bealach here – imagine the effort involved in ascending before cars were invented and the reason for the name becomes obvious. The pass is still vulnerable in poor weather: although the road doesn’t reach a particularly great height, heavy rain causes frequent landslides and rockfalls at all times of year, despite multi-million pound efforts to prevent them. In case of closure, a winding but more reliable single-track diversion (ironically using the exact line of the old military road) provides a potential work-around, provided it isn’t threatened by landslides itself.
The park's centerpiece is the 129 feet Burney Falls. On a visit to the falls, an enthralled President Theodore Roosevelt pronounced them one of the wonders of the world.
Built for Brickworld 2013 as part of the "Wonka" collaborative. These builds represent all the chocolaty goodness of Mr. Willy Wonka's factory, the demise of undeserving children, and the simple heroics of Charlie Bucket. Welcome to the Inventing Room!
"Charlie Bucket stared around the gigantic room in which he now found himself. The place was like a witch's kitchen! All about him black metal pots were boiling and bubbling on huge stoves, and kettles were hissing and pans were sizzling, and strange iron machines were clanking and spluttering, and there were pipes running all over the ceiling and walls, and the whole place was filled with smoke and steam and delicious rich smells."

Ferrotip en format 4x5 polzades, realitzat amb una Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic fabricada cap al 1949; objectiu Kodak Anastigmat f4.5; col·lodió Quinn Quick Clear fet per mi.
Aquesta primera partida de col·lodió barrejat per mí, seguint les instruccions de Quinn Jacobson,inicialment m'ha portat problemes, que en aquesta placa encara són evidents. Creient que potser el problema era l'excés d'aigua en la manufactura, vaig provar de afegir i filtrar-ne bicarbonat sodic. No sé si fou això o que li faltava madurar una mica però lentament els problemes han anat desapareixent.
Les plaques de col·lodió es realitzen al moment, cobrint una placa de vidre o planxa metal·lica negra amb col·lodió i sals de cadmi i/o potassi, sensibilitzat amb nitrat de plata. Aleshores s'ha de fer la fotografia i revelar-la en uns 5 minuts, abans no s'assequi la emulsió. És un dels processos fotogràfics més antics del món, inventat el 1851, i que dominà fins el 1880. Però ara ha resorgit, ja que les imatges, molt treballades, que dona són úniques, màgiques i i irrepetibles.

==========================================
Tintype in 4x5 format, made with a Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic (from 1949); objectiu Kodak Anastigmat f4.5; Quinn's Quick Clear collodion, mixed by me. First time!
In fact, this salted collodion had a difficult start, giving ugly, wavy - masked plates. I tried several procedures to solve this, like increasing the sensitizing time, or even adding (and then filtering) baking soda, to separate possible excess water in the collodion. I don't know if my actions helped or that it just needed time to ripe, but in a few days plates looked much better.
The collodion plates are made covering a glass plate or black metal plate with collodion and salts of cadmium and / or potassium, sensitized with silver nitrate. Then you have to take the photo and reveal it in about 5 minutes, before the emulsion dries. It is one of the oldest photographic processes in the World, invented in 1851, and which dominated photography until 1880. But now it has resurfaced, as the images, very elaborate to create, that it gives are unique, razor sharp, magical and unrepeatable.

The gazebo has been on the island for maybe thirty years or more, perhaps longer. But on this island, the largest of the group of islands on the Grand River, there used to be a hotel, the foundation of which is still on the island (to the left of the photo). Back in the late 19th century, the hotel was always busy in the summer. The Pere Marquette Railroad would bring in throngs of tourists. Grand Ledge was quite the place to be back then, and that included a visit to the famous Ledges, located in Fitzgerald Park.
But when Henry Ford invented an affordable automobile, the number of tourists taking the railroad to Grand Ledge dropped considerably. People who could afford to buy a car found other attractions around the state of Michigan to go to.
It would take decades before Grand Ledge could renew its legacy as one of the state's great tourist attractions. This gazebo, while relatively new, was based on the designs of the original one that existed in the town's heyday. During the 4th of July, bands will perform on the gazebo, A small fair-like atmosphere would be around, including what was known during my childhood as an "ox-roast," apparently barbecued ox meat. I'm not sure if that's what was being cooked, or regular beef, but it was part of an old-fashioned form of celebrating the 4th, as well as reliving summers of old.

This is Second City, a city that invented skyscrapers that touch the sky and glimmer in gold. Amid the city's celebration of modernity is this mural of depression. This poorly-clad man seems to be looking up to those majestic skyscrapers that have sprouted up everywhere on fertile Chicago ground. Come to think of it, whatever happened to the people of the Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi, Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac, Fox, Kickapoo, and Illinois Nations of Chicago? I forgot they were here. (Did I leave out any Indian nation?)
On a much lighter note, there is something tiny in this grand scene that hits me with inappropriate humor. Look at the "Tow Zone" sign right next to the mural's big toe zone. (Enlarge the photo to see the details of what I'm talking about.) Tow and toe: I have to take a photo of that the next time I visit, without getting towed.

This stunning bird's name in Finnish is "kapustarinta" which translates into "ladle chest". The name comes from its dark or black chest that reaches to the bird's neck and therefore resembles a big spoon. Sometimes I wonder who on Earth invents these names...but yet it kind of fits this bird!

[...] The sensory world of manifolds is the area of analysis by the intellect; we can also say that the mind has invented the world of sense. If we think we understand the world, it just means to understand that we, as far as it relates to our intellectual thinking. But the intellect is not up to that life as we live it internally, we always feel something in us that which the mind is unable to pay the full peace and the other looks for its fulfillment.
This is why our lives so rich in contradictions and conflicts. But most of us take no notice of them and only when this fact is somehow aware, they start with this situation examination seriously.
If we start in this way, to search for the truth, we finally get to the spiritual world, or rather, the spiritual world breaks into the world of sense and reason.
Once that happens, it changes the whole order of things, the logical is not logical, rationality loses its meaning, because now is the real not-real and the truth, the non-truth. More specifically, the water no longer flows in the river, the flowers are no longer red and the pastures are not green.
It is the most surprising event that can take place in human consciousness. This invasion of the spiritual world into the world of the senses and the mind leads to the overthrow of every form of experience that has prevailed there.[...]
Die Sinnenwelt der Mannigfaltigkeiten ist der Bereich der Analysen durch den Verstand; wir können auch sagen, der Verstand hat die Sinnenwelt erdacht. Wenn wir glauben, die Welt zu verstehen, heißt es nur, dass wir verstehen, soweit es unser verstandesmäßiges Denken betrifft. Aber der Verstand reicht nicht bis zu jenem Leben, wie wir es innerlich leben, wir fühlen immer etwas in uns, dem der Verstand nicht den vollen Frieden zu schenken vermag und das anderweitig seine Erfüllung sucht.
Deshalb ist unser Leben so reich an Widersprüchen und Konflikten. Doch die meisten von uns nehmen das nicht zur Kenntnis und nur wenn ihnen diese Tatsache irgendwie bewusst wird, beginnen sie sich mit dieser Situation ernsthaft auseinanderzusetzten.
Wenn wir auf diese Weise anfangen, nach der Wahrheit zu suchen, gelangen wir schließlich zur geistigen Welt oder richtiger: die geistige Welt bricht in die Welt der Sinne und des Verstandes ein.
Sobald dies geschieht, ändert sich die ganze Ordnung der Dinge; das Logische ist nicht mehr logisch, die Rationalität verliert ihre Bedeutung, denn nun ist das Reale das Nicht-Reale und das Wahre das Nicht-Wahre. Genauer gesagt, das Wasser fließt nicht mehr im Fluss, die Blumen sind nicht mehr rot und die Weiden sind nicht mehr grün.
Es ist das überraschendste Ereignis, das im menschlichen Bewusstsein stattfinden kann. Dieser Einbruch der geistigen Welt in die Welt der Sinne und des Verstandes führt zum Umsturz jeder Erfahrungsform, die dort vorgeherrscht hat.

inventi le mie forme,
lo stile, è quello tuo…
poso per ore davanti a te,
mi dipingi di sole, anche se non c'è…
a un tratto, trovo me
inventi quei colori,
le ombre su di me…
poi chiudo gli occhi sul nome mio,
quel che inventi son sogni, son sempre io…
mi sento, dentro te
poi, mi scopro lì a volare il cielo su di me,
mentre la mia mano cerca te…
arrossisci un po’… ma non vuoi più mandarmi via
inventi, la poesia
inventi, la poesia
inventi quella luce,
ma sono gli occhi miei
mentre ti guardo io non so più,
dove finisco io e cominci tu,
Il sogno, la realtà…
ogni volta io rinasco nei pensieri tuoi,
colorato e folle più che mai
arrossisci un po’… ma non vuoi più mandarmi via
…inventi, la poesia

Le 3 janvier 1613, Catherine de Gonsague et de Clèves, veuve du prince d'Orléans, duc de Longueville, signait le contrat de maçonnerie pour la reconstruction du château de Coulommiers suivant les dessins de Salomon de Brosse. Celui-ci se recommandait par les travaux qu'il exécutait au château Monceaux pour Marie de Médicis, Italienne comme Catherine de Gonzague. A Coulommiers la construction sera suivie par Charles Du Ry, collaborateur habituel de Salomon de Brosse, qui a quelque peu modifié les dessins en cours d’exécution. Charles Du Ry , sera lui-même assisté par son fils Mathurin. Le château n'était pas achevé à la mort de Cathérine 51629° et de son architecte (1626). La relève est prise par Henri II de Longueville, fils de Catherine et par François Mansart, désigné comme l'architecte dans un nouveau contrat de maçonnerie deu 27 mai 1631, toujours signé par Du RY. On travaillait encore sur le chantier en 1655. Implanté dans un site peu salubre. le château en piètre étant a été démoli en 1736 - 1738. Il en reste : les fossés; les deux pavillonnets de l'entrée, qui sont l’œuvre de Mansart; les portiques concaves qui adoucissaient les angles du fond de la cour et qui paraissent bien avoir été inventés par Salomon de Brosse. Ces portiques sont reproduits dans plusieurs œuvres de Mansart ( Berny, Blois).

"Mi arrestarono un giorno per le donne ed il vino,
non avevano leggi per punire un blasfemo,
non mi uccise la morte, ma due guardie bigotte,
mi cercarono l'anima a forza di botte.
Perché dissi che Dio imbrogliò il primo uomo,
lo costrinse a viaggiare una vita da scemo,
nel giardino incantato lo costrinse a sognare,
a ignorare che al mondo c'e' il bene e c'è il male.
Quando vide che l'uomo allungava le dita
a rubargli il mistero di una mela proibita
per paura che ormai non avesse padroni
lo fermò con la morte, inventò le stagioni.
... mi cercarono l'anima a forza di botte...
E se furon due guardie a fermarmi la vita,
è proprio qui sulla terra la mela proibita,
e non Dio, ma qualcuno che per noi l'ha inventato,
ci costringe a sognare in un giardino incantato"
