The Tibetan plateau The Tibetan Plateau is a large, elevated region in Central Asia, covering much of Tibet. It occupies an area of around 1000 by 2500 kilometers, and has an average elevation of over 5000 meters. Called "the roof of the world," it contains the world's tallest mountain range, the Himalayas, as well as Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain. The plateau was formed by the collision of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates in the Cenozoic period (approximately 55 million years ago), although the process is still ongoing.

http://www.famousbelgians.net/plateau.htm
Joseph Plateau
Joseph Plateau of Belgium, inventor of the stroboscope, a device that employs bright pulses of light to illuminate a vibrating or rotating object and to make it appear motionless or moving very slowly. The stroboscope works by permitting the eye only a brief glimpse of the object or a portion of it at time intervals that correspond to the object's rate of vibration or rotation. The rate of movement and the light pulses can be adjusted to match. Plateau used a disk with radial slits that he turned while viewing a rotating wheel; when the rotational speed of the disk and the wheel matched exactly, the wheel appeared motionless. Other pioneers employed rotating or vibrating mirrors to produce light pulses. By the later 19th century the camera was being used to capture stroboscopic images for motion studies, and stroboscopic photography has since become the major application for these devices. The use of stroboscopic photographs to produce the illusion of motion also led to the development of motion pictures. The modern stroboscope, an electronic device, was brought to perfection in 1931 by the American scientist Harold Edgerton. Such devices can produce flashes equivalent to 50,000 watts of incandescent light. A typical flash lasts roughly five millionths of a second, and 100 such flashes may be produced each second. Stroboscopes are commonly available for setting the ignition timing of motor vehicle engines. They are also used industrially when moving machines must be checked for quality, and in the laboratory for studying mechanical systems in motion. Simple stroboscopes are sometimes used for stage-lighting effects.

On the plateau
Today I have reached a plateau. It's possibly not an appropriate phrase because from a plateau the only way is down on all sides...but I like the word so I use it anyway! I'm on the plateau when things in my life are...just so, OK, just right, copacetic...I've moved from one place in life to another...taken a step...felt that I've changed in one small way...done something that has enhanced me in some way. These last few weeks I've felt not quite right in my body; felt that I'm out of touch with myself. So I started to make a few adjustments...do something about the toxics. Today I've begun to feel more at home within myself. Other things have started to come together...my art, my garden...things. It's Autumn too...time for 'bringing things in', making a new home in the new season. Happy Days.

Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau, Dr : 1801 - 1883 Joseph Plateau (Born: 14 Oct 1801 in Brussels, Belgium Died: 15 Sept 1883 in Ghent, Belgium) developed the 'Magic Disk' or Phenakistiscope in 1836. An early stroboscopic device, the 'Phenakistiscope' used a disk with radial slits that he turned while viewing a rotating wheel; when the rotational speed of the disk and the wheel matched exactly, the wheel appeared motionless. Other pioneers employed rotating or vibrating mirrors to produce light pulses. Plateau was also facinated by the effect of the persistance of vision. His interest however cost him dearly. His experiments (gazing directly into the sun) caused him to go partially blind at 28 and totally blind in 1841. In 1853 Baron Franz von Uchatius was the first person to project visible moving images on a screen by improving on Plateau's Phenakistiscope. The use of stroboscopic photographs to produce the illusion of motion also led to the development of motion pictures

Domaine St Joseph The Farmhouse The Valley House The Coach House ... Cotignac Village Paradise - Domaine St. Joseph is a private 25 acre estate containing two old Provencal farmhouses each with their own swimming pool, and a Coach House for two people. The properties are available for rental throughout the year. Situated on a plateau above the village of Cotignac, which is 3 km. away. Dating from the sixteenth century, the estate contains the main bastide, which is permanently occupied by the owners, and two farmhouses, each with its own swimming pool, which are available for rental throughout the year. A large converted Coach House, which forms part of the courtyard of the main house, is also available for rental and accommodates two plus a child.
The surrounding land contains cypress trees, Mediterranean oaks, pines and olive trees, with abundant herbs of thyme, rosemary, sage and lavender. A variety of indigenous flowers carpet the ground throughout the year and the tranquillity is unique, with only the sound of the bells of the Abbe de Notre Dame and the nearby Monastere St. Joseph breaking the silence. Huge dragonflies and many varieties of butterflies are in abundance along with a fascinating array of bird, insect and wildlife.
