Wenn auf Gefilden neues Entzücken keimt
Und sich die Ansicht wieder verschönt und sich
An Bergen, wo die Bäume grünen,
Hellere Lüfte, Gewölke zeigen,
O! welche Freude haben die Menschen! froh
Gehn an Gestaden Einsame, Ruh' und Lust
Und Wonne der Gesundheit blühet,
Freundliches Lachen ist auch nicht ferne
Friedrich Hölderlin
When on fields new delight sprouts forth,
and the appearance becomes more beautiful again,
and over mountains where trees become green,
brighter breezes and clouds appear,
oh, what joy human beings have!
Lonely ones walk happily on shores. Calm and
joy and the delight of health blossom;
joyful laughter is also not far away.

I wish you a wonderful start in the weekend!

Take a look at "powder blue" large and on black
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #15 - If I won the lottery . . . I'd never scrub another toilet or mop another floor! I'd hire a maid service to clean for me.
Various powders used for the enhancement of crime scene marks. Photographed simply with my D200 and a UV light to the right.
Mary Harris “Mother” Jones, the fiery labor advocate, stands before a bookcase on May Day 1929 at the home of Emma Powderly, widow of the Knights of Labor leader Terrence Powderly, at 503 Rock Creek Church Road in Washington, D.C.
Jones resided at the Powderlys from about 1920 until shortly after this photograph.
Sometime in May 1929 she took a trip out to the Burgess Farm in Adelphi, Maryland and did not return to the Powderly home. The Burgess couple were old miner friends of hers from West Virginia who took care of the ailing Jones until her death in December 1930.
Jones was born in Cork, Ireland and lived her life as a Civil War nurse, lost her family to yellow fever in Memphis, worked as a dressmaker whose shop burned in the Great Chicago Fire and served as a labor leader often vilified and jailed for her role supporting workers, primarily child laborers and miners.

A second video showing flammable powder sprayed at a candle. I blew into the straw harder on this one.
Cheers.
Located in Terminal 3 transit area, the power room is a great place for ladies to freshen up in-between flights.

Approx. 1mL of strontium carbonate, 1mL of sulfur, about 1mL sodium nitrate, 1mL of sugar and about 0.01mL of manganese carbonate was ground together and placed on top of a piece of chalcedony. It was ignited with a match and immediately burst into bright yellow flame which burned for a couple of seconds. This resulted in a hard grey melted substance that was quite luminescent.
This mixture was named "Gorn Powder" in reference to a Star Trek episode wherein an alien (the Gorn) was defeated using a mixture of a nitrate, sulfur and carbon (aka "black powder").
