These bubblers (water fountains) dispensing free filtered water are becoming very common around Sydney. Generally not as ornately encased as this one is... The idea is to cut down on the number of plastic water bottles ending up as landfill, or just discarded on the streets. Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands recently banned the selling of bottled water completely, and has made available these types of bubblers all around the town. And truth be known it's exactly what we're paying for in ALL the bottled brands of water anyway.
Image of the day! Astronomers have used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to photograph the iconic Horsehead Nebula in a new, infrared light to mark the 23rd anniversary of the famous observatory's launch aboard the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Looking like an apparition rising from whitecaps of interstellar foam, the iconic Horsehead Nebula has graced astronomy books ever since its discovery more than a century ago. The nebula is a favorite target for amateur and professional astronomers. It is shadowy in optical light. It appears transparent and ethereal when seen at infrared wavelengths. The rich tapestry of the Horsehead Nebula pops out against the backdrop of Milky Way stars and distant galaxies that easily are visible in infrared light. Hubble has been producing ground-breaking science for two decades. During that time, it has benefited from a slew of upgrades from space shuttle missions, including the 2009 addition of a new imaging workhorse, the high-resolution Wide Field Camera 3 that took the new portrait of the Horsehead.

Bubble grows due to flux of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide gas through the walls of the cellulose from the surrounding liquid.

We're Here! playing with bubbles.
Until you look, you never know the complexity of the atmosphere around your own bubble!
This is nonstick frying pan containing water and vinegar at near boiling temperature (in preparation for poaching eggs). There is a similar grid-like pattern of indentations on the bottom side of the pan, which must be a contributing factor.
Bought one of those from a guy who has no expression at all - so sad when he sells such a fun contraption ;p

-¡El Aleph! - repetí.
-Sí, el lugar donde están, sin confundirse, todos los lugares del orbe, vistos desde todos los ángulos
