Have You Captured the Inspiration Behind Newton's Work in Photos?

AI Thread Summary
A user shared a photo of the famous apple tree in Cambridge, claiming it inspired Isaac Newton's significant work. The photo features a slogan, "JAZ SEM INSPIRACIJA" ("I AM INSPIRATION"), and is part of a competition by Nikon Slovenia. Another user expressed concerns about the slogan detracting from the photo's quality and inquired about the voting process, noting a pop-up for personal information when clicking "GLASUJ." The original poster clarified that the slogan is a requirement for the contest and reassured that the pop-up is for a camera giveaway, not necessary for voting. They also offered to share the original photo without the overlay.

Hey guys!

When I was on a trip in Cambridge I took a picture of the famous apple tree, that is supposed (so the turist office claims:-p) to be the one, where Isaac Newton got the idea for his most importaint work. In the back there are two windows and one of them (I think it's the right one) belonged to Newton's study room.
In the picture, there's also a slogan "JAZ SEM INSPIRACIJA", which literally means "I AM INSPIRATION".
You can see my picture here (http://jazsem.nikonsvet.si/gallery/47/item/3001 ), where it's competing in a photo competition organised by Nikon Slovenia.
Has anyone else any interesting photos in this topic?

Regards,
Primoz.

P.S.:If you like my picture you can also click the "GLASUJ" (which means "VOTE") button to vote for my photo. (Thanks if you did.)

I'm a wee bit confused. Did you take that picture? The slogan overlaid across the front of it really detracts from it, and I'm not really able to see or appreciate the photograph because of it.

Also, when I click on "GLASUJ" to vote, another pop-up screen comes up and wants information from me. I'm guessing it's asking for a name and e-mail address and something else, but I'm not sure what. I can't read the language. I'm a little leery about filling in something that I don't know what it is. Can you tell me what it says or is asking for, please?
 
Yes, I did. Maybe it seems like I didn't, because I made it black and white and unfocused in the corners, so that the apple tree takes all attention from the viewer.
Yes, the slogan is a bit disturbing, but it has to be there to follow the rules of the organiser.
That pop-up screen is just to put in your data if you want to take place in game to win a camera. It doesn't affect voting and you can just close it. Thanks.

Oh, okay. So just mashing the "GLASUJ" button is sufficient?

Was it necessary for the contest to have writing across the image?
 
Yes, sadly. Just for you I am attaching the original photo here. :smile:

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
