WIGGUM DAILY

 

Have been getting some awesomely colourful

sunsets and sunrises here at WD HQ lately.

Was able to capture one today. 

 

 

 

 

Just a couple of rough-and-ready phonecam panoramas I made while walking along on Saturday arvning.  Everytime I go there I tell myself "I’m NOT going to take any photo’s today…" but most of the time that’s not how it ends up. There’s always something that catches my eye. Most of the time I only have the trusty Motorola V3i along for the trip. Hence the proliferation of phonecam panoramas here on WD. 

 

   

 

Wondering exactly where these pics were created…?

I didn’t think so.  But just in case you were click HERE for a map.

 

 

 

 

It’s colourless, odourless, non-toxic, and non-flammable. Just like tofu. And much like tofu, Sulphur Hexaflouride gas is also six times denser than air which means it can be stored happily in open containers without escaping. We’ve all seen the crazy helium voices people can make when sucking in lungfuls of that inert gas.  Have you ever wondered if there was such a thing as anti-helium ?  Well according to the anti-periodic table there is no elemental gas that meets the requirements, however the molecular gas sulphur hexafluoride DOES fit the bill nicely.  Observe…

 

 

Now with the help of sulphur hexaflouride, or SF6 as he’s known to his friends,  you can sound just like soul legend Barry White at a moments notice. Sure to impress the ladies… or have them running onto the streets in fear, it’s all good.  

 

 

 

 

These two videos get filed under the category of

NATURE’S TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM  

 

 

 

 

This is some video taken with the WD digicam on a stormy and freezing cold Sunday afternoon at Pt Leo. Air temperature was a chilly nine degrees C with a biting wind of 25-30km/h coming in from due south made it even colder. The water was actually the warmest place to be.

 

 

 

 

Dutch artisit Theo Jansen calls himself a kinetic sculptor (what ever THAT is… ) who builds mechanical works of art that are self-powered by the wind. Whatever it is he does, Theo is a very clever man with an amazing "da Vinci" like vision for the structure and movement of the natural world. The results are spectacular…

 

THE STRANDBEEST 

 

 

 

 

I used the WD Phonecam to capture a series of pics that I made into this panorama of the scene that greeted me
