Sevens Going

A brief report from firing #2 in this series - as you can see,the kiln is firing evenly,with cones 7 bending together in a gratifying [because rare] fashion. With 2 cones to go 'til the end of the firing [an hour or so] this is the time we traditionally go and watch some Wimbledon. The top [clearer] shot is,by the way,from the bottom of the kiln,where the atmosphere is clearer,and vice versa.
While on the subject of dead languages; I spotted a road-sign at the top of the Kinneret last week that reads "Institute of Limnology". Do you have any idea what they study there,or,like me,will you have to Google it? We live and,theoretically,learn.
