Next time.

We theatre people know him well for inventing the Fresnel lens which, on a spotlight, uses concentric ridges to focus light to the center of where it's pointed but then feathers it outwards. Very flattering for aging divas, but he's saved even more ships than acting careers. <BR/> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FresnelTallTchrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552334653035259673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851364775510627998.post-59921376322622710252009-04-11T06:40:00.000+02:002009-04-11T06:40:00.000+02:00Max-e great minds to create something like that.

I very much enjoyed your Lighthouse Cameos; fantastic photos! My knees and calf muscles are worn out from just contemplating climbing all those stairs. The view from the top is magnificent, but I can't imagine being out there during a gale, as the lighthouse keeper undoubtedly was at some time.Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851364775510627998.post-89999257900912173432009-04-02T03:57:00.000+02:002009-04-02T03:57:00.000+02:00I'm sure it wasn't easy being one of those that ha...I'm sure it wasn't easy being one of those that had to man a lighthouse back in the day! <BR/>Hearty soul.shabby girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03991126161405336712noreply@blogger.com
