Self-Powered Top Spins For Hours

The meaning of Inception’s ending famously revolves around a top which spins forever in dreams, but in real life comes to a stop like any other top. Any other top, that is, except for [Aaed Musa]’s…

#FotoVorschlag: Was sich dreht (kein Rad!) // Something that spins/turns (no wheel!)

Manche Fotos sind so schlecht, dass ich sie nur in einer Collage verpackt zeigen möchte, aber immerhin dreht sich einiges:
- Kind beim Tanzen
- ein #Karussell auf einem Londoner #Weihnachtsmarkt
- eine #Uhr am Theater an der Angel in Magdeburg
- ein #Kreisel
- ein #Riesenrad auf einem der Weihnachtsmärkte in #Lübeck
//
Some of the photos were so poor that I had to tuck them away in a collage, but they keep on spinning:
- kiddo dancing
- a #carousel at a London #ChristmasMarket
- a #clock on the façade of a small theatre in Magdeburg
- a #spinningTop
- a #FerrisWheel at one of the Lübeck Christmas markets

A spinning top, custom turned for a collector in the UK a couple of years ago. This one is African blackwood, thuya root burl with a tagua nut (vegetable ivory) finial. There is something so relaxing and satisfying about spinning a beautiful, nicely weighted spinning top.

Tops, spinning tops!

What, haven't mentioned them before?

Something else I collect, but not so much recently. Got these two today made by Chase Lindley, one of the premier -- no, perhaps the best top maker -- at least in the world as I know it. The larger one spun for over 20 minutes the 2nd time I gave it a spin -- and I'm not very good at going doing it.
