1898.
This photograph depicts a southwest view of the Echo Mountain House. It was a huge white hotel with a veranda encompassing a sweeping panorama of the mountain and the valley below. The area also included the original Echo Mountain House ("the Chalet"), a dormitory, a powerhouse, a museum, an observatory (at right) and a search light. The entire Echo Mountain complex became known as the "White City" or the "City on the Mount." Completed in 1894, the Echo Mountain House burned to the ground in 1900.

I made the binding on the back wider than the binding on the front. I could pretend that this was a purely aesthetic choice, but it really had more to do with my backing fabric not being quite wide enough.
Circa 1903-1906.

This was a request by Brandon Lima, who found this tidbit in the archive (click his name to see his work on the matter). Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, within this WFPC2 shaped chunk of space are two things of note. At the lower right and partially off the frame is the aptly named Honeycomb Nebula. Above that are two white arcs one might mistake for just another piece of cloud, but they are in fact light echos emanating from the nearby sn1987a. If you would like to see the light echo in action, click here.
Note: I increased the saturation of the colors. Greenish H-alpha is due to filter selection.

North is NOT up. It is 17.9° clockwise from up.
A scene of kids playing and the echos of their laughter occurred in my mind while taking this picture, just to realize after looking at the picture in my camera that there's no one here... the echoes of kids' laughter in my mind just faded away as it's been fading away in other parts of the world including Syria, just to get replaced by the harsh sounds of war and violence, in the never ending cycle of filling that bottomless hole of human nature's primitive needs for power and money. And in the process we're loosing the sounds of innocence, the sounds of pure joy that draws a smile on every single person who sets eyes on a bunch of kids playing like there's no tomorrow...
I've been looking for the Echo around here that has the black plastic cladding that goes from the back to the front in a lighter red. This also has a similar number plate, 8xxTLV as the Volkswagen Golf.

I still have loads of wildlife photos to share with you, but since the rains have come in Nairobi our garden has blossomed again, and I've started with my macro shots again. Enjoy.
Talk about the life, talk about women, talk about outings, talk about experiences, talk about nothingness, talk about talking. What happened?

The myth
A duck's quack certainly does echo around in a reverberation chamber, so a duck's quack does echo, which leads to the most interesting question. Why did the myth arise? There are a few possible explanations that I can think of:
•The quack does echo, but it is usually too quiet to hear. When you want to hear an echo, you usually make a very loud noise to make sure the reflection can be heard. But a duck quacks too quietly, so the reflection is too quiet to hear.
•Ducks don't quack near reflecting surfaces. You need a large reflecting surface, a mountain or building for the sound to reflect off. Maybe ducks don't hang around reflecting surfaces.
•It is hard to hear the echo of a sound which fades in and fades out.
As with many myths it's hard to say how or why they got started but this myth has been "busted" in several scientific experiments.
