I have being to London several times, but... each time,...the urge to take pictures??? ...I really think Tony Blaire needs to increase budget spendings on the environment. I took this shot on the 25th of June 2004 on my way from HSBC on 94 Strands. Today London is wearing a new look....
I was at the recent meet in June 2007, and took this picture from about the London Bridge!
English Physicist and chemist, whose many experiments contributed greatly to the understanding of electromagnetism. Faraday was early trained as a bookseller and bookbinder. He was appointed at 21 an assistance to Sir Humphry Davy, the noted English chemist, and accompanieed Davy on a continental European tour in 1813-15. However, in 1821, Faraday discovered the principle of the electric motor and built a primitive model of one. Two years later, he was the first to liquified chlorine, and in 1825 he was able to isolate benzene. Convinced of the interrelation of electricity and magnetism, he discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction - the production of electric current by a change in magnetic intensity. In 1833 he was appointed professor of chemistry at the royal institution.
Among his other accomplishments, Faraday produce the first dynamo, stated the basic laws of electrolysis, discover the magnetic field rotate the plane of polarization (vibration) of light and studied dielectrics (nonconducting materials);
Faraday married Sarah Barnard in 1821. From about 1855, Faraday's mind began to fail. He retired some years before his death to live near Hampton Court in Surrey, in a house that Queen Victoria provided for his use. ... Britain needs people like Faraday now!
