Fire Rainboow in Singapore

Go to Index

A fire rainbow is a rare phenomenon ... formed when sunlight refracts through ice-crystal clouds.

Here are the photos of a fire rainbow over Singapore in 2017-02-20, around 5:10pm-ish and lasted about 15 minutes. Wish I was there to witness it !

Government helps & steals

Go to Index

I'm from the government, I'm here to help.

By the way, the following statements are often attributed to Roman politician and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC), who once served as Consul of the Roman Republic:
     1.  The poor, work & work.
     2.  The rich, exploit the poor.
     3.  The soldier, protects both.
     4.  The taxpayer, pays for all the three.
     5.  The wanderer, rests for all the four.
     6.  The drunk, drinks for all the five.
     7.  The banker, robs all the six.
     8.  The lawyer, misleads all the seven.
     9.  The doctor, kills all the eight.
    10. The undertaker, buries all the nine.
    11. The politician lives happily on account of all the ten.

However there is no known source for these apocryphal sayings (or anything remotely resembling it) in Cicero's recorded letters, speeches, and works. Moreover, there is no record of them having been attributed to him (or anyone else) prior to 2012, when they were posted to an Occupy Wall Street-related forum. In other words, it is simply people attempting to demonstrate the aptness of a particular social or political viewpoint by putting these words into the mouth of a revered historical figure.

Clouds hugging top of mountain range

Go to Index

This photo is the Tinderry Mountain Range taken at 7:37pm, 2017 January 12, near the small town of Michelago, NSW, Australia ... specifically, on Monaro Highway, 1 km south of the turn off to Ryrie Street (into Michelago), and looking towards the east.

The white stuff covering the mountain range is not snow. They are clouds. But notice it is clear blue sky everywhere !

Is there a meteorologist, budding meteorologist, pretend meteorologist out there who can explain this phenomenon?  (I think it is called orographic cloud / fog.)

By the way, the Tinderry Mountains are interesting to climb. Photos and an account of the climb are in my blog:

House on tyres

Go to Index

Is it a retyrement home ?
But really, those foundations need a freshen up, they look a bit tyred.
So I don't know how long the house would last. Hope it would last for a good year  :-)
Yet somehow this would probably be the one house to survive an earthquake.
And wonder whether they get changed to winter tyres when it starts snowing.

Huntsman Spider with its egg sac

Go to Index

I had a shock the other day when I opened a binder and found a Huntsman Spider with her egg sac. Considering the shaking to the binder when I took it down from the bookshelf and plonked it down on the desk, yet the spider was so hell-bent on protecting her egg sac that she wouldn't budge and run away. Amazing !

Optical illusion - 12 black dots

Go to Index

It may look like a moving GIF,
but it is actually just a still JPG.

By Jacques Ninio.

The grid features 12 black dots.
However, it’s nearly impossible to see them all at one time.

The reason has to do with our relatively poor peripheral vision.

Basically our brain attempts to account for this uncertain periphery by simply assuming the regular pattern of gray lines would extend out into the periphery.

Faces on rocks

Go to Index

On the trip to climb Mt Touwouwan near Dunns Swamp in Wollemi National Park, NSW, Australia, I keep seeing faces on rocks.
( Photos and a write up on the climb are in my blog:
http://mntviews.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/mt-touwouwan-wollemi-nat-pk-nsw.html )

Below are 4 faces from the above mentioned blog.  Has anyone noticed them besides me?

1)  Taken at Pagoda Lookout, a detour on the way to climb Mt Touwouwan ~~~
Actually it looks more like the Sphinx.

I have been climbing on the rocks. For example, I was on top of the rock pointed to by the red arrow ... see my trip report in the above mentioned blog

2)  Taken on the return trip after climbing Mt Touwouwan ~~~
This one looks like the face of a frog.

3)  On the bank of Cudgegong River ~~~
This face even has a tougue.

4)  Also on the bank of Cudgegong River ~~~
A happy Buddha

Faces I saw on other climbing trips:

- A face-like rock near the summit of Tinderry Twin, NSW, Australia ... click on this link:
