From my original post of this, 9 years ago, and very fortunate for me to have a collection on Flickr even as I was building up a large collection on #DoEvilGoogle #GooglePlus.....

Tesla Tribute - Prague

As a long-time fan of Tesla, and knowing his origins, I thought this was very cool. (Historic + pretty) I took the 'short cut' through this indoor mall/passageway off of Wenceslas Sq. to Národní many times. Exited by a tiny church. There's a small camera store in there too, along with Tesla and Chinese food. "Eclectic"! :-)

Reposted in 2016/updated today 'here' on Tesla's birthday - and still never added to my own large collection of images of Prague @

Happy 167th Birthday, Nikola Tesla ! (Born July 10, 1856)

This stained glass looms over the passage-way/arcade Pasáž Světozor in Prague, near Wenceslas Square.

This huge testament is not only to the man, but also his technology - TEchnika SLAboproudá" - which means "Low voltage technology". The state run monopoly, first "Elektra" in 1921, and then TESLA in 1946, was a huge electronics conglomerate, continuing through the years of communist control over "Czechoslovakia", until 1989. Now Tesla's legacy and vision are honored throughout the world.

Today he was celebrated at his New Jersey (USA) laboratory, which is becoming a museum. He is beloved throughout Prague, Serbia & central Europe, where he spent his early years. In 1884 he moved to the U.S. which was experiencing an explosion of inventions which changed our world forever: electricity, light, phonograph, movies, telephone, & automobiles with rubber wheels, to name a few.

The Tesla Science Museum is located in Wardenclyffe, N.J., not far from his competitor/nemesis Thomas Edison:

Faces

Recently (December 2021) I discovered this art project on the canal Bruxelles Charleroi in the Molenbeek area (Brussels/Belgium – Quai du Hainaut, close to Porte de Ninove). An artist – I don’t know who – shows faces of different people.

Crayons

Pencils as writing instruments have somewhat gone out of fashion. However, as a conspicuous motif of street art in the Brussels graffiti scene, they have been experiencing a kind of renaissance in Brussels for a few years now. When the first graffiti pencil appeared in Brussels can no longer be determined exactly. It must have been around 2010. Since then, an anonymous group of graffiti artists has enriched the European capital and its suburbs with some hundred very different pencil graffiti. The artists‘ collective calls itself „créons“ – let us be creative – formed from the French words crayon (pencil) and créer (to create, exhaust, create), and phonetically based on „crayons“ (pencils). I have been taking these photos since 2010.
