A compass rose is a symbol in the form of a circle that has marked around the directions in which the circumference of the horizon is divided, and which would be south, east, north and west. His invention is attributed to the Mallorcan Ramon Llull, although the detailed description given by Pliny the Elder in the book could have been his basic reference.
In the navigation charts it is represented by thirty-two (deformed) rhombuses joined at one end while the other indicates the course on the circle of the horizon. Above all is the fleur de lis with which the North is usually represented. This symbol is documented from the XV century.
Una rosa de los vientos es un símbolo en forma de círculo que tiene marcado alrededor los rumbos en que se divide la circunferencia del horizonte, y que serían sur, este, norte y oeste. Su invención se atribuye al mallorquín Ramon Llull, aunque la descripción pormenorizada que da Plinio el Viejo en libro podría haber sido su referencia básica.
En las cartas de navegación se representa por treinta y dos rombos (deformados) unidos por un extremo mientras que el otro señala el rumbo sobre el círculo del horizonte. Sobre el todo se sitúa la flor de lis con la que se suele representar el Norte. Ese símbolo se documenta a partir del siglo XV.
I’ve just read a comment from a photographer who said it’s time to stop shooting in black and white. He claimed we don’t see the world in black and white and it was something only done in the past due to the limitations at the time and it’s time to move on. Here’s a number of reasons why I think it’s critical to shoot black and white from time to time, and how it can help nurture your photographic eye.
Ansel Adams, Cartier Bresson, David Bailey, Karsh, Sebastio Salgado, Albert Watson, Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Irving Penn, Daidō Moriyama, Sally Mann, Avedon – the list of master photographers, alive or dead, who saw black and white not simply as a technical limitation but as a creative choice, could be an entire article in itself. But why did they choose it?
Here are some key reasons:
1. Color No Longer Distracts
2. You’ll See Light Differently
3. It Helps Emphasize Emotion
4. The Timeless / Classic Quality From Black And White
5. It Amplifies How You Use Negative Space
6. It Highlights Shape, Form and Pattern In The Image
7. To Highlight Beauty and Skin Tones
8. It Helps Focus On Composition
So What About Color?
The argument of not shooting black and white because it’s a thing of the past is a little odd to me, especially given that color photography is not necessarily a modern invention. Kodachrome for 35mm cameras has been around since the 1930s. The far more interesting (and possibly meaningful question) may be:“Why is black and white still so prevalent today, given we've been able to shoot color for so long?”.
I still shoot color and love playing with it, but I certainly enjoy the challenge and creative push from shooting in black and white.
Thanks to Athena for lending me the demon of contraption for the photo.

Des friction lights de John Walker aux lucifers de Samuel Jones
Le pharmacien John Walker est celui qui a inventé, en 1827, la première allumette qui s’allume par friction, comme on la connaît aujourd’hui. S’inspirant des travaux d’un physicien et chimiste irlandais, Robert Boyle, il imagine un mélange qui, par friction sur une surface rugueuse, peut s’enflammer. En bon scientifique qu’il était, et ne voulant pas faire connaître le procédé de sa découverte, il refuse de la breveter, se contentant de commercialiser lui-même son produit, et de vaquer à ses occupations de pharmacien, botaniste et minéralogiste. Ce procédé de fabrication des allumettes finit par être breveté sous le nom de lucifers par un certain Samuel Jones. Les lucifers présentaient néanmoins de nombreux problèmes : flamme instable et violente, odeur désagréable. On dit que malgré tous ces désagréments, le nombre de fumeurs augmenta en raison de cette invention. Ils pouvaient enfin déambuler dans la nature, avec leurs cigarettes, cigares et pipes, en toute indépendance.
From John Walker's Friction Lights to Samuel Jones' Lucifers
In 1827, the pharmacist John Walker invented the first friction-lighting match, as we know it today. Inspired by the work of an Irish physicist and chemist, Robert Boyle, he imagined a mixture that could ignite by friction on a rough surface. As a good scientist, and not wanting to make the process of his discovery known, he refused to patent it, contenting himself with marketing his product himself, and going about his business as a pharmacist, botanist and mineralogist. This process for manufacturing matches ended up being patented under the name of Lucifers by a certain Samuel Jones. However, Lucifers presented many problems: unstable and violent flame, unpleasant odor. It is said that despite all these inconveniences, the number of smokers increased because of this invention. They could finally wander around in nature, with their cigarettes, cigars and pipes, in complete independence.

Cromford Mill, located in Derbyshire, England, is a remarkable historical site and the world's first successful water-powered cotton spinning mill. Built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright, it played a pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution and is now part of the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Key Highlights of Cromford Mill:
- Historical Significance: The mill is considered the birthplace of the modern factory system. Arkwright's invention of the water frame revolutionized cotton spinning, making it a cornerstone of England's industrial growth.
- Architecture: The site features a collection of Grade I listed buildings, showcasing early industrial architecture.
- Visitor Experience: Today, Cromford Mill is a vibrant visitor center with shops, galleries, restaurants, and cafes. It offers guided tours, including the "Arkwright Experience," which uses audio-visual storytelling to bring history to life.
- Educational Opportunities: The mill hosts exhibitions and displays historic spinning machines, providing insights into the evolution of mass production.
- Community and Restoration: Rescued by the Arkwright Society in the 1970s, the site has been carefully restored to preserve its unique history.
The mill is also surrounded by the charming village of Cromford, which Arkwright expanded to accommodate his growing workforce. This includes Derbyshire's first planned industrial housing and other landmarks like the Greyhound Hotel.
If you're planning a visit, Cromford Mill offers a fascinating glimpse into the past while providing modern amenities for a comfortable and enriching experience. Would you like tips on photography spots there? It could be a great addition to your portfolio! Maybe I can give you some but my image will be a starter

I had this song floating my head since my 1st visit there a few weeks ago.
Fun Fact:
"What was Billie Joe throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge?
They seem like arbitrary inventions of the filmmakers, but they're the closest thing the song has to an official “solution”: In the movie, Billy Joe tosses his girlfriend Bobbie Lee's rag doll off the bridge and jumps the following day, tormented by uncertainty over his sexual identity."
Written in 1967 seems relevant to this very day as restrictive and oppressive laws poke their repugnant and hatful heads into the light of day. We are all human.

🎼[Ode to Billy Joe (Bobby Gentry)] 🎼
🎼[Ode to Billy Joe (Lucinda Williams)] 🎼
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe your feet
And then she said, I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow
And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And brother said he recollected when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And mama said to me, child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge
A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Frangipani with my imitation lensbaby and kind of macro invention. With 50mm Helios lens and Sony A7R2
We invented watches to measure the passing time.
A fabulous invention for sure, but nature also offers us ways to estimate the passing time.
Counting the annual growth rings of a tree can give us a good sense of its age.
Early growth typically takes place at a faster rate, because resources abound. This is what corresponds to the brighter and usually thicker rings.
In the fall, as temperature fall and light gets scarce, the tree gets ready for winter and grows much slower, which translates into thinner and darker rings.
Counting the pairs of bright and dark rings gives us the age of the tree (or limb) of which we observe a section.
This piece of Black Locust wood (also known as false acacia) shows a very contrasted succession of dark and bright growth rings.
The watch is about 3cm in diameter and the picture has been cropped to respect the 3" rule of the Macro Mondays group..

P.S. Initially I had a difficult time posting this image because I didn't have a title. That may sound strange, but some images demand of me titles and/or poetry or music.
Then my Aunt Theodora was admitted to the hospital and suddenly the image had a purpose. She was my late father's last surviving sibling. She passed away yesterday, with family by her side. I visited her in the hospital 2 day's ago and for just a moment, she smiled and winked at me.

The modern pencil was invented in 1795 by Nicholas-Jacques Conte, a scientist serving in the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. The magic material that was so appropriate for the purpose was the form of pure carbon that we call graphite. It was first discovered in Bavaria, Europe, at the start of the fifteenth century; although the Aztecs had used it as a marker several hundred years earlier. Initially it was believed to be a form of lead. It was called graphite only in 1789, using the Greek word ‘graphein’ meaning ‘to write’.

Sorrow sucker. The more I drink the happier I get! lol
This is for FGR...maybe.
I'm def. not an inventor, so this is as good as it gets.
The 6th graders are Worland Middle School all had to invent something. All of their inventions were then showcased at an "Invention Convention". Carmen's invention was a slanted lap deck that doubled as a pillow.
Serendipity is an unplanned fortunate discovery.
Serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of product invention and scientific discovery.
Serendipity is also seen as a potential design principle for online activities that would present a wide array of information and viewpoints, rather than just re-enforcing a user's opinion.
