During the couple of months I stayed in Germany in 2019, I spent a lot of my time walking. I'm sure I have said it many times. One day I could take the U-Bahn to Stuttgart-Mitte, or I could walk from home

I have been taking some photos for my class materials. I will speak briefly about color and minerals. I need to show how the color of the light affects the perceived color of an object, and what happens
