I think I've got better at bird photos.

I suppose it's easier when they're not approaching you.

Places to Visit in South London - Crystal Palace Park

I've visited Crystal Palace Park twice this year, so have two sets of photos to share from a rather remarkable park. The area was created to accompany the Crystal Palace, a large structure built for the Great Exhibition in 1851. Initially intended for Hyde Park, the structure was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, and was made out of glass and iron; somehow it was taken apart and moved to the park's environs, where it hosted various shows, until a fire brought it down in 1936. The park, however, still remains in the Crystal Palace suburb, which happens to be where four boroughs meet. Bromley have operated it since 1986, but fragments of it are in Southwark, such as the entrance that I used to enter a week ago. By my feet was the remnant of the Vicar's Oak , an ancient tree at the centre of Norwood, and was where various parishioners met for hundreds of years, commonly to drink. At the time, the area was part of the Great North Wood, once under the Archbishop of Canterbury'

Sodium Lighting and LEDs

Introduction My friend Atila wrote a great blogpost on how his local area's lampposts suddenly changed in colour, and he even linked to my blog. So it's only kind if I were to do the same: https://ani.bearblog.dev/blog/ The post is curious because it reminds me of how we're seeing increasingly fewer orange streetlights, instead giving us harsher white light. Specifically, the orange colour is generated from sodium, where its electrons are excited into a higher energy state. Physics Sodium is an alkali metal, and as such has one valence electron. When it is heated up, this valence electron will be excited and move up to a higher energy level, before it juts back, and this change in position emits a photon. You can calculate the energy emitted by using the formula E = hc/λ, where h is the very minute Planck constant. This formula also shows that the energy emitted corresponds to a given wavelength - so all elements, when excited, will emit light at certain wavelengths. For

A post with no _

It's still autumn, though it's not particularly a thing that is in my mind. School is a significant priority right now, and thus I cannot assign all my worry to making autumn slow down. As I walk through London, it's hard to not find auburnising plants stunning, and thus I anguish in knowing it is past halfway as of today. South of this paragraph, photos of this living pumpkin salad: Wait, you claim, isn't a photo from this pack out of London? Nodding, I add that it's nigh to London, so it's not that big a point to form. Isn't autumn alluring, I say? A contributing factor to a lack of noting its arrival is possibly global warming. Only months prior, it was almost mossy in commons and parks, with occasional vapour that was obvious to sight in a light sky. July and August, "hot" months? No way! Autumn simply slunk past us as no dog days sought to stop for us on this occasion. British conditions cannot bring joy usually, right? Right... I also had t
