I started with an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulated the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.
Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - I went to Bear Butte, South Dakota, to try to capture the Quadrantid Meteor Shower. But it was cloudy most of the night. I did see a few between 2 and 3 AM when the sky cleared briefly. I later learned the meteor shower peaked earlier than expected, which favored observers in Europe.
Finally I had enough images in each of four color sets to make up a quilt of color. The images are taken from sets for blue, yellow, green and red. Fun to see it come together.
This quadrant calculated the elevation of a Sherman tank's main gun, assisting with aiming the gun. This was manufactured by General Floorcraft.
Seen at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The the right of the street (The Quadrant) is a row of grade II listed historic buildings constructed c. 1860 with subsequent alterations. To the left are the Buxton Thermal Baths, a grade II listed historic structure built originally 1852-1853 with subsequent rebuilding and alterations. Outside of the baths is The Colonnade, a grade II listed historic structure with a similar building history to the baths.
"Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands region of England. It has the highest elevation – about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level – of any market town in England. Close to the county boundary with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is described as "the gateway to the Peak District National Park". A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities lying primarily to the north, including Glossop, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. Despite being in the East Midlands, economically Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester. The population of the town was 22,115 at the 2011 Census.
Buxton landmarks include Poole's Cavern, an extensive limestone cavern open to the public, and St Ann's Well, fed by the geothermal spring bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. Also in the town is the Buxton Opera House, which hosts several music and theatre festivals each year. The Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby is housed in one of the town's historic buildings." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

The Q class Type 15 Frigate HMAS Quadrant was billed as Australia's first nuclear age warship . Converted from a very tired WW2 destroyer her appearance was novel - the main armament was largely (valve) electronic .
Her career as such was only brief , from 1953 to 1957 .
Here in Farm Cove , she is probably not long out of conversion .
Behind her bow is HMAS Quality whose poor condition , along with budget cuts , saw her conversion cancelled .

This light fitting in the Quadrant Arcade makes an eye-catching feature that is designed to draw you in as you walk down Regents Street. I must admit though it's never worked on me but next time I'm in London I'll have to explore further.
By the way, if you live in London or are just passing through then you might be interested to know that the London Flickr Group regularly hold free photowalks. The next one will be in early February and we'll be announcing details shortly here : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/

From the Barr Gazetas website, "We transformed this overlooked Grade II listed arcade into an elegant destination for London’s West End. Working closely with The Crown Estate, this is the first time the historic grand elevation of Regent Street has been altered. Our subtle, high impact changes have restored the heritage architecture and exposed the volume of the space, securing the future of Quadrant Arcade as an outstanding retail experience.
Running between Regent Street and Glasshouse Street, the 1920s Quadrant Arcade never fully realised its potential. Despite its characterful design, the arcade was easily missed by passersby due to a low, undistinctive entrance and dark interior. We finely balanced the restoration of historic features with a sensitive redesign of the interior, flooding it with natural light and giving the arcade its own unique identity."

One of the last lower quadrant signals in use in South Australia at the time was at Tailem Bend, but probably only lasted another 6 months after this was taken.
On 7-6-91, 6AM2 hauled by C509,701,S310 passes the lower quadrant at Tailem Bend with steel loading for Melbourne.
John Wilcox used this quadrant on his voyages from Madison to New York and the Connecticut River in the early 1800's to about 1860. A quadrant was a forerunner of the sextant and measured the altitude of heavenly bodies for navigation.
Brass and ivory fitted ebony frame with the maker's name and compass degrees engraved on ivory set into the frame. Colored glass filters used in the sighting device. Quadrant fits into oak box with partial label of William Davenport, instrument dealer in Philadelphia. Cut side of box is painted yellow and has faint traces of a star and "JOHN WILCOX" painted on it. Made by Spencer, Browning & Rust, London England c. 1800.
