FLAT EARTH

 


A few months ago I came across one of my images being used as potential evidence on the Flat Earth Society website;

The led me to doing a bit of research to the origins of the Society which resulted in me reading the publication from Samuel Rowbotham written in 1865.  Section 4 is incredibly short and sums up the idea regards the Suns rotation around the North Pole. With my impending trip to inside the Arctic Circle coming up in the next few weeks, and the fact I will be experiencing for the first time the phenomenon of a polar night, this short piece of written work captured my imagination.
