Ice encroaches on a wetland pond under gray December skies.
Water’s maximum density is achieved at near 40 degrees F and it is less dense when warmer or cooler. For this reason, ice in water bodies forms from the surface down, rather than the bottom up, with immense consequence for aquatic life, the integrity of aquatic ecosystems, waterfowl, ice skaters, and cubes of ice in a glass.
Trying my hand at some landscape shots! 😊
You know I scream in my dreams like an animal
I know it feels like it's wrong to be something else
We know those thoughts live with us
sunk down, them nerves much thinner
I crawl, you sob
No sanctuary found
When daylight finally falls
Until the morning comes
My eyes can't see
But I can feel
What is it?
The Nobel Prizes were established by Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, inventor (of dynamite), and businessman, who left the bulk of his fortune in his will to create the awards for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace, first awarded in 1901.
Who he was: A wealthy inventor who held 355 patents, most famously for dynamite, and was also a writer and scientist.
His motivation: He wanted to recognize those who conferred the "greatest benefit to humankind".
The will: He signed his will in 1895, and the first prizes were awarded five years after his death in 1896, fulfilling his vision.

Uhmm, ouch, Mistress?
What's up? Are you still complaining?
This new toy - it's got twice as much spikes as the old.
Isn't that nice of me? That's only half of the pain for you.
How's that?
Didn't pay attention in physics? p=F/A (*), so if we double the area, the number of spikes that is, we halve the pressure.
But these spikes are sharper than the others!
Hmm, you've got a point there.
One-hundred and fifty, Mistress. In my back.

(*) pressure is force per area. And funnily enough, the abbreviations that were so difficult to learn in german, just seem logical when you're writing in english.

I enjoyed working on this build. There were plenty of building challenges. I'm especially glad I managed to put together the frame for the chalkboard, since I only have special frames for it in a couple of colors, and those are Medium Orange and Light Violet.

Reflections of some of the buildings of the Institut für Physik (institute for physics) at the technical university in Darmstadt, Germany. This shot was too good to pass by. It may look like there a lot of notes here, but they are in fact the windows frames (danke Sabine für den Wink).

A 4:30am alarm with a quick stop at the Dunkin drive-thru got me to the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in time to experience what it takes to unfurl, inflate and fly a hot air balloon. It's been years since I've done this and it was a beautiful morning to be amongst all the dedication and skill these crews have.
On another note, felt like it was time to update my profile pic. As much as I liked the old one, it looked more like a high school yearbook pic at this point. Lol!

I do see them

but for the image
it's in the world

It's nice to work like that

It’s December 1st, time for snowflakes! This one is special for me as it illustrates the magical – albeit disfiguring – process of sublimation. But before we get into all that, I want to remind everyone that my latest snowflake coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is now available – and they are selling out. I’m not sure how fast, but I do know that they have limited sales to one per person on their website: www.mint.ca/en/shop/coins/2023/dollar20-pure-silver-hexag... . Don’t miss out on the first hexagonal coin minted as collector’s Canadian currency.
This image depicts a primary set of five snowflakes, all photographed after they had been resting on the ground for a while. The telltale signs are obvious, starting with the very rounded tips of the outermost branches. By the logic that “what sticks out the farthest, grows the fastest”, the inverse is also true: what sticks out the farthest will sublimate the fastest in a low-humidity environment. Sublimation, for those unfamiliar with the word, is going from a solid state of matter directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid. Snowflakes will return to the air that created them fairly quickly, even in cold weather.
But there’s another area of sublimation that rarely gets discussed: internal or conjoined sublimation. Imagine a disc of air trapped inside a snowflake. As the water molecules sublimate in an enclosed space, they look for another place to attach themselves to. This is less likely to be large flat surfaces and more likely to be corners and edges. As this process continues, the flat surfaces will lose more molecules, and the edges will gain them. A disc, given enough time by this logic, would eventually become a sphere. It gets better (and more beautiful) when you have air trapped between two complex surfaces of different snowflakes effectively “holding hands”.
Vibrant tie-dye colour can be created by means of optical interference in these spaces. The gap between the two branches has to be narrow and the internal cavity mostly or completely closed off from the outside air. As water molecules release themselves in a low-humidity environment, they will re-attach on the surface structures available, in a much more complex manner than a disc becomes a sphere. Still, it’s effective a “rounding out” of the details. If the gap is thin enough, then physics plays a beautiful note to generate colours, the same physics that puts rainbows in soap film.
The fascination comes in the tiniest details around these rainbow puddles of air as well. Look close, and I mean REAL close, and you’ll see a curious trail of tiny bubbles around the larger sources of colour. I’m not a physicist, but I can hypothesize what is happening here: as the outer edges of the structure gather more of the errant water molecules, deviations in the surface topography can close off the structure while leaving little pockets of air behind, these discs then continuing their own fate to become independent spheres.
Sublimation is usually something I avoid; I want to photograph snowflakes as quickly as possible to preserve their original shapes and structures. However, if one allows a snowflake to “age” in a cluster, you might be surprised what treasures you can discover.
I’ll be trying my best to post a new snowflake photograph every other day until Christmas. Stay tuned for more. :)
Physics of light - refraction
I'm afraid I've been buried under an avalanche of work, so have had to dig through the archives for an entertaining refraction lesson. It's even in Flickr colours for their fifth anniversary! Pink Osteospermum and yellow daisies, blue and green bottles, water drops on a chive and away you go!
Man on the Moon by R.E.M.
‘Now, Andy did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy are you goofing on Elvis, hey, baby?
Are we losing touch?’
'Andy' refers to Andy Kaufman, the American performance artist and professional wrestler. He was well known for his pranks and elaborate ruses. When he died in 1984, age 35, some believed him to have faked his own death.
I think the song touches on how the media has led to a culture that encourages us to ‘believe anything we hear’ without necessarily questioning it. In this atmosphere it becomes deliberately difficult to determine what is real and what is fake.
In the modern world it is hard to be an ‘expert’ on everything that affects our lives. I do, however, find it disconcerting how bad the reporting is on the handful of topics I do know something about.
The picture shows one of the new IEP ‘Azuma’ trains. There have been many wild claims from the government about the performance of the train, all of which have proved to be wrong. In the words of the Star Ship Enterprise’s engineer Scotty, ‘ye cannae change the laws of physics!’ Or in Michael Stipe’s words ‘IEP better than an HST, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!’
I chose the duotones of burgundy and blue to represent the current ‘excitement’ in the UK surrounding the change in our passport colour post-Brexit. The latest ‘news’ is that anyone who mocks the change is part of a ‘metropolitan elite’, I think my reply would have to be, '£350 million for the NHS, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah'!
I recently saw an interview with Mike Mills, guitarist with R.E.M. He expressed disappointment at how many of the themes of the album ‘Automatic for the People’ were still just as relevant 25 years on. At the end of the interview Mills did give a positive note in which he likened humanity to Sisyphus rolling his boulder up a hill, two steps forward and one step back. Let us hope that next year is a ‘two steps forward’ year!
