You will have a picnic along the road before you will travel the last part of the journey. Incallajta was of big importance in the Inca-era and is nowadays still a site of outstanding beauty.
Then you will head on further in the direction of Cochabamba.īefore getting there you will visit the archaeological Inca site of Incallajta. In a local weaving house you will learn how the beautiful and multi-coloured rugs and cloths are woven by artisans. You will also bring a visit to the chicheria, the beer brewery, where you can see how chicha, maize beer, is made. Just outside the centre of Totora you can climb the big rock that should boost fertility. You will stay overnight in a basic hostal in Totora.Īfter breakfast there is time to make a stroll through Totora to see it at daylight and to make some photographs. You will certainly appreciate Totora by the attractive streetlights. The streets are covered with cobblestones and together with the small bridges the scenery might make you think of paintings of Anton Pieck. This picturesque place is the third colonial town in Bolivia, after Sucre and Potosí. When a bit further on you will get views over the surroundings it seems you are looking at snow-capped mountains, but in reality, you see the white clouds, sliding gently over the mountain tops, an almost unreal sight.įurther on the landscape is formed by mountain slopes and agriculture crops, mainly grain.Īt the end of the afternoon, you will arrive in Totora. Water is constantly dripping from the with moss draped brushwood and plants. This name has been given to it for a reason it is always misty in this abundant overgrown area. Driving over an unpaved road you will reach an area that is called Siberia. In Comarapa you will have lunch, possibly we will arrange a picnic. There you will visit Laguna Verde (the green lake). Then you will pass the desert of Mataral where tall cacti grow.īy small villages you will arrive in Comarapa. People here work mainly in farming and there are also huge chicken breeding farms. First you will enter the valley of Mairana. window.Around 8.30 hrs you will set off from Samaipata. We could write the image to the canvas by copying pixel by pixel, but defining a pattern offers a faster alternative. Now, to write the triangle in the JavaScript file. This won't change until near the end of the exercise: Now, to create a canvas and place that first triangle. Ergo, we also need a flipped version of the sample image: The flipped sample In a kaleidoscope, all segments can be drawn by either rotating the base image, or by flipping the base image and possibly then rotating. This is the image that goes at the end of the mirror tunnel, and forms the first, base triangle.
To help illustrate what's going on, I'm going to chose a simple image that won't bamboozle - we'll substitute with a more bamboozling image later. The first step is simple - choose a base image to work with. I was pretty happy with the results, though it is resource heavy. A Treatise on the KaleidoscopeĪ few years ago, I created a process to construct a simplified version of the equilateral triangle set up (fig. Here are some variations: Brewster, David (1819). But, even three mirrors can produce many variations based on the angles of the resultant triangle. The configuration and number of the mirrors changes the reflection pattern. Movement of the image at the end of the kaleidoscope produces the familiar effect. An image is displayed at the end of a long tube which is lined with mirrors, usually three, which reflect each other's image to produce an effect. Mirrors are the secret to the amazing effects viewed though a kaleidoscope. I had a lot of fun with Kaleidoscope's as a kid, so let's make one!
