Sir William Chambers
I’ve been digging around in my archive. This statue of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh stands in front of the National Museum of Scotland. The most amazing thing about this photo was the reaction of KI. I asked google who this was (photo search). The answer was a description that it was the photo of a statue of a man, possibly in Edinburgh, “but no guarantees”. When I confirmed the information about the location in Edinburgh it stated that the man depicted was Prince Albert. First KI was humble, then with more information it was confidently wrong. A bit more searching and looking at various sculptures, I’m pretty sure that KI is wrong and I am right: it’s Sir William Chambers (incidentally in Chambers Street).

One day I was surprised
Last week I went on a walk in the woods to find some leftover hoarfrost. I climbed a steep hill and I decided to not to go down the slippery slope but rather take the long walk through the village of Heiligkreuz (a really small … Continue reading One day I was surprised
How many grains
have these millstones crushed? Millstones from a mill built in 1612:, they were put on display in a small square in 1979, restored in 2010. For the sake of scale I went back there and asked two guys to stand next to the stones. The … Continue reading How many grains
