Bumbunga Lake

2023 mid September

1)  Red oval: Loch Ness Monster 🙂
No one can find Nessie in Scotland
because it is here in Bumbunga Lake 🙂

2)  Nessie is here in Bumbunga Lake.
That is why no one can find it in Scotland 🙂

3)  Bumbunga Lake.
Can be pink in the right season and salinity.
Water no more than knee deep.
If you don't wish to have muddy feet,
then photoshop yourself to Nessie's back.

4)  And so I photoshopped myself to top of Nessie 🙂
As well as photoshopped the pink colour 🙂

Penrose Stairs and Escher's "Ascending and Descending"

Go to Index

Penrose stairs (or Penrose steps) is an impossible object created by Oscar Reutersvärd in 1937.  Later, independently discovered and made popular by Lionel Penrose and his son Roger Penrose.

It is a variation on the Penrose Triangle.
Refer to this link:
https://onemanadreaming.blogspot.com/2023/06/penrose-triangle.html

The "continuous staircase" was first presented in an article that the Penroses wrote in 1959, based on the Penrose Triangle published by Roger Penrose in the British Journal of Psychology in 1958.

M. C. Escher discovered the Penrose stairs in the following year and made his now famous lithograph Klimmen en dalen (Ascending and Descending) in March 1960.

Penrose and Escher were informed of each other's work that same year.

Escher developed the theme further in his print Waterval (Watefall), which appeared in 1961.

Being a senior citizen really sucks !

Go to Index

She is single.
She lives right across the street.
I can see her place from my patio.

I watched as she got home from work this evening.

I was surprised when she walked across the street,
up my driveway,
and knocked on the door.

I rushed to open it.

She looked at me and said,
"I just got home, and I have this strong urge to have
     a good time,
     dance,
     get drunk,
     and make love tonight !
Are you doing anything tonight ?"

I quickly replied,
"Nope, I'm free !"

She said, "Great ! ... Could you watch my dog ?"

Penrose Triangle

Go to Index

Penrose Triangle
Also known as the Impossible Triangle

It is an optical illusion of an illogical triangle.
Can be drawn on paper.
But cannot exist as a proper solid object.

First created by Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934, and independently devised and popularized in the 1950s by psychiatrist Lionel Penrose and his son, prominent Nobel Prize-winning mathematician Sir Roger Penrose.

Roger Penrose described it as "impossibility in its purest form".

It was featured prominently in the works of Dutch artist M C Escher (1898-1972), whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired the Penrose Triangle.

Some of the Escheresque drawings / objects are in this link:
