I love travelling this very rural road, Lower Faraday from Coe Hill to Bancroft, in autumn. There are so many gorgeous bends that I could stop any number of times and prolong my trip home even more. For better or worse, I decided to go with an impressionistic rendering of this photo. I wouldn't go for this look too often, but boys must play -- even old boys.

You will have to stand back to see what it says.... can you read it?
Just up road from Sir Christopher Wren – though at a different time – lived the scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867), who spent the last nine years of his life in this house in Hampton Court Road, East Molesey. The house, currently up for sale, is in pretty wretched condition and has clearly seen better days.
Michael Faraday is regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history. He discovered the laws of electromagnetism (the principle behind the electric transformer and generator), invented the first electric motor, and built the first electric generator, which helped pave the way for today’s mechanised age. He was given official lodgings here, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to science; this is also where he died.
The Faraday Tower is part of the old UMIST campus of The University of Manchester. Its link bridge to the rest of the campus was recently demolished (www.staffnet.manchester.ac.uk/news/display/?id=16217).
A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields. A Faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material, or in the case of a Faraday cage, by a mesh of such materials. Faraday cages are named after scientist Michael Faraday, who invented them in 1836.
Faraday cages are routinely used in analytical chemistry to reduce noise while making sensitive measurements.
A Faraday cage operates because an external electrical field causes the electric charges within the cage's conducting material to be distributed so that they cancel the field's effect in the cage's interior. This phenomenon is used to protect sensitive electronic equipment (for example RF receivers) from external radio frequency interference (RFI) often during testing or alignment of the device. They are also used to protect people and equipment against actual electric currents such as lightning strikes and electrostatic discharges, since the enclosing cage conducts current around the outside of the enclosed space and none passes through the interior.
We're here visiting Physics
Today's image was taken this morning at the edge of University of Birmingham near to the train station. The view is of the large bronze sculpture called 'Faraday' that sits at the entrance to the Edgbaston campus of the University. The massive sculpture that is over Five Meters high was made by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi as a gift to the University to help celebrate it's Centenary.
The photo was taken using the Camera app PureShot on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped and straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I decreased the Highlights, then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Warmth and Sharpness. After this I applied a small amount of lens blur to the sculpture. Next I used the app Waterlogue to apply the Vibrant watercolour Artistic effect to the image. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Recover Highlights preset, the Vibrant FX and a Medium Dark Vignette. I then added the Canvas Texture and the Charcoal frame.
I was taking some candid shots on a walk across campus and found this gentleman reading under the Faraday statue. I then thought i could have a bit of fun when I saw the pictures.
Although Faraday received little formal education, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. So I guess it's safe to assume he definitely didn't go with the flow.

As we were leaving from our lodging in Cypress, I spied this interesting and unusual vehicle on Valley View Street southbound. I barely caught up with it at Katella Avenue before it turned right.
