I don't know why I spend money on all the new Ai "no noise", "no blur" extras! I'd far rather take one perfectly good photo and some textures and see what might happen! This may have been my favorite as I was working, all that Midas Touch on everything! Doing all this is my way of relaxing when in the middle of some other project. I'm in need of nothing more than to share here and remember why I wasn't getting my projects done!
(Do you know where the word, "Eureka!" came from/was popularized? During the early gold mining days in California -1849- a seam of gold was struck and the miner yelled, "Eureka!" Later, a nearby town was given that fortuitous name!)
@ankers70 I love that a photo can stir a conversation and lead to fascinating additional information! We visited Australia several times with friends from Sydney and Moruya, and I bought "a casette" of Australian songs, one mentioning Ballarat. That's an interesting history about the flag, and it was one they certainly were proud of "for its chaste beauty"! Thanks for sharing the link!
My knowledge of Eureka goes back to 6th grade and the story of Greek scientist Archimedes, who called out ‘Eureka!” when he leapt out of his bathroom after figuring out how the displacement of water could help him determine weight.
I lived in Ballarat for some time and the Eureka story is at the heart of its historic life. Glad you enjoyed the link.you'll have to visit again. @Weezilou
I`ve learnd it came from : Plutarch and Vitruvius tell that Archimedes discovered in the bath that a submerged body becomes so much lighter as the displaced liquid weighs, which is now called Archimedes' law . He jumped out of the tub and ran naked through the streets of Syracuse , shouting "Heureka!" calling.
Eureka is very significant here with the Eureka flag the symbol of the Eureka Rebellion of 1854: http://www.eurekapedia.org/Eureka_Flag
