My wife & I were visiting Mexico City. We saw her house and took the tour without knowing anything about her beforehand. Very cool.BillTre said:Frida Kahlo
There is also a good movie about her life.gmax137 said:My wife & I were visiting Mexico City. We saw her house and took the tour without knowing anything about her beforehand. Very cool.
I had issues parsing this, until I realized that you were replying to the post above yours. Doh!gmax137 said:My wife & I were visiting Mexico City. We saw her house and took the tour without knowing anything about her beforehand.
I think so. According to Frida (given name) (Wikipedia):BillTre said:So that's where Frida Kahlo is from?
Wikipedia said:Frida (with variants Freda, Frieda, Frinta and Freida) is a feminine given name. In central and eastern Europe, Frida is a short form of compound names containing the Germanic element fried meaning "peace".
Swedish Wikipedia said:Frida is an Old Norse female name formed from the word fridh which means the beloved, the beautiful. It is also a short form of German names such as Frideborg, Alfrida, Elfrida and Valfrida. The oldest evidence in Sweden is from the year 1388.

I frequently use Google image search to identify plants, and I tried with this (entire) photo too without success. But I will try with a crop of a single one instead, thanks for the idea!Tom.G said:For for lack of further information, I would call them Seed Pods.
You might try cropping to a single one then ask Google for an image match. (I've never tried it, but others keep mentioning the possibility. )
I think that is correct... I found a page here:Tom.G said:For for lack of further information, I would call them Seed Pods.
Hello, How exactly is the ' total phase difference between ordinary and extraordinary rays visualized as color? Would that be from constructive/destructive interference?Andy Resnick said:A few preliminary images using crossed polarizers:

No
The colors arise because nearly all crystals are birefringent, the total phase difference between ordinary and extraordinary rays ('retardation') is what is visualized as color.
