Stained Glass Window

 

A very nice stained glass window, I'm sure, but without any detail, context or location.... not very interesting.

Bonus - On the other hand....Troubled Waters

A View From The Aircraft

Often, the view out of the window of an aircraft can be magical, beautiful, educational or interesting.

But not in all cases, clearly.

Another Tedious Tuesday slide. I'm trying to think of some cockamamie fact to make this slide even slightly interesting.

Nope. Failed.

Bonus - "Cockamamie" - By the look and sound of it, cockamamy (also spelled "cockamamie") seems like an arbitrarily coined nonsense word-but a reasonable explanation for its origin exists. Supposedly, cockamamy is an altered form of the term decalcomania, which denotes a process of transferring pictures and designs from specially prepared paper to surfaces such as glass or porcelain. The word decalcomania comes from the combination of French décalquer, meaning "to copy by tracing," and -manie, meaning "mania." In the 1940s, painted strips of paper with images capable of being transferred to the skin were called "decals" or "cockamanies." They were naturally regarded by many as silly novelties. Hence, in time, the variant cockamamie came to be used as an adjective meaning "ridiculous."

Bonus 2 - Heavy Snow.

From the "British Road Sign" set, this isn't a British Road Sign.  Crazee !

This slide was labelled "Detail, British Museum Stn, Central   Nov 1975", so who am I to disagree.

Bonus.  Utterly Heartwarming. Child's Favourite Toy....To The Edge Of Space !
