Giant Camera

Just behind the famous Cliff House in San Francisco is this Giant Camera.  It's one of the few remaining items from the fun park that use to be along Ocean Beach.

The pyramid structure on top rotates and reflects the image to a large table inside, where you can see the image of the works around.

History of English

Here's an interesting post about the history of the English language.  The argument is that English comes from Scandinavian languages and thus many words are interlinked with German.

I thought it interesting how the word store has many meanings in several languages.  For example in Polish, sklep is where items are kept for safekeeping and also where items are sold.  The safekeeping word is a bit dated and I learned it though my grandfather who told me it's where they kept food outside the house for storage (usually underground where it was cool).

English has the same with store (as in a file on a hard disk) and store (where you sell things).  German too with lager.
