The Telectroscope
We popped over to London Town yesterday, which was an ideal time to link up with NYC The Telectroscope.
“Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed. An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right through the Earth from London to New York and vice versa.”
Kind of like an silent old version of a webcam you could say! Anyways, we waited in line, so that our little Daughter could hold up a message (”MADE IN NYC”) to whomever was looking in NYC’s lens, but just as we got to the front of the line we heard one of the people looking after the miracle’s connection had “gone down”…I couldn’t work out how optics “go down” but accepted their explanation and left.
It’s a charming story and we’ll definitely go back in a few weeks…we will make a steam punk optical connection with NYC! Here’s Nina waiting patiently in line!
