Photo Hunters #76 Paper

Click on picture for larger image

Californians are very familiar with this contraption, the seismograph. After every earthquake there is always a shot of a seismograph with a talking head from someone at Cal Tech in Pasadena. Well, now I’ve got my own picture of one!

A Seismograph is basically a roll of paper with a pen suspended above it, and it records movement. Thankfully, nothing more than these little lines here in So Cal for a while. I doubt I will take a picture of the “big one.” No, I hope to be visiting family in Indiana when that one occurs. Now if we could only predict it so I can make the travel arrangements….

Have a great weekend!

Neat you have a photo of that. I only remember feeling one decent shake while I lived in San Diego… I know there were others but I didn’t notice them. I just prayed one big one didn’t hit as I would drive over the Coronado bridge! =) Actually, I felt a pretty large one here in TN but that was over 20 years ago.

One of my worst fears, a big one. Living in the Philippines, where we are in what is called the Pacific Ring of Fire, we do have these in small doses although I have experienced several big ones too. Scary.

LOL about you being in Indiana when something like this happens.

Take care and thanks for sharing your photo. Have a great weekend!

That is very interesting. I hope you are not there when that BIG ONE strikes. We have had far too many natural disasters as it is. Great photo and have a good weekend.

The composition of this photograph makes the seismograph seem less a contraption and more a piece of art. I really enjoy how you shot this.

A bit of Catholic trivia. You may be interested to know that seismology was long regarded as a Jesuit science. The Jesuits dominated this science for decades. In fact, a local Jesuit university (John Carroll) has (had) a seismograph on campus here in Cleveland!

The Reason For our hope - thereasonforourhope.org

Prayer for our Priests

Lord Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and living perpetually among us through Your Priests, grant that the words of Your Priests may be only Your words, that their gestures be only Your gestures, and that their lives be a true reflection of Your life.

Grant that they may be men who speak to God on behalf of His people, and speak to His people of God. Grant that they be courageous in service, serving the Church as she asks to be served.

Grant that they may be men who witness to eternity in our time, travelling on the paths of history in Your steps, and doing good for all.

Grant that they may be faithful to their commitments, zealous in their vocation and mission, clear mirrors of their own identity, and living the joy of the gift they have received.

We pray that Your Holy Mother, Mary, present throughout Your life, may be ever present in the life of Your Priests.

Amen
