Welp, I was wrong about missing a #Sunset tonight 9/6/24. Didn't have time to get to usual spot, but these were pretty good.
Taken over a maybe 3 minutes. Color changes FTW.

After lunch yesterday, we went to the #HistoryOfScienceMuseum in #Oxford. It's not very big but contains some really fascinating exhibits. It is right next to the #SheldonianTheatre and well worth a visit.
Here are wooden models of the #FivePlatonicSolids.
This is a beautiful example of #HandWriting in a book. #Writing like this is certainly a lost art these days.
Here I am explaining to my spouse the similarities and differences between #Octants, #Sextants and #Quadrants.
This wooden box contains some immaculate #brass #DrawingInstruments. Another rarity these days but I do remember learning how to use similar #instruments while studying at university.
A brass #sundial.
Without anything but manual #SurveyingEquipment, humans were able accurately to map out the entire globe. It's amazing what can be achieved when humanity works together. But also, this model is absolutely gorgeous.
Not to be outdone, the #astronomers mapped the #sky and here it appears on a companion globe.
No computers were around then but the ingenuity of humans to develop calculating instruments to allow them to crunch numbers meant the creation of some devices of stupendous cunning.
To this day, trainee pilots have to master the #CircularSlideRule in order to do calculations for various tasks. Before flying was ever developed, such #SlideRules were in common use.
This #camera is another fine example of hand-made instruments. The craft and skill of whoever made it is a marvel.
the rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday ;-) … and follow the tag.
#sundaygimp
(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )
Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

In the mountains, move slowly. If you must creep, then creep.
Magnificent in the distance, meaningless closer up,
mountains are but a surface standing on end. The snail-
like and, it seems, horizontal meandering trail
is, in fact, vertical. Lying flat in the mountains, you
stand. Standing up, you lie flat. Which suggest your true
freedom's in falling down. That's the way, it appears,
to conquer, once in the mountains, vertigo, raptures, fears.
В горах продвигайся медленно; нужно ползти — ползи.
Величественные издалека, бессмысленные вблизи,
горы есть форма поверхности, поставленной на попа,
и кажущаяся горизонтальной вьющаяся тропа
в сущности вертикальна. Лежа в горах — стоишь,
стоя — лежишь, доказывая, что, лишь
падая, ты независим. Так побеждают страх,
головокруженье над пропастью либо восторг в горах.
In this video #MrMBB333 shows an image at 06:05 sent to him from a person traveling through Victoria, #Australia. They look like two tornado tubes extending into the upper atmosphere. Maybe those were test runs for what they would do to the rest of the world.
