Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. The human eye can distinguish about 500 shades of gray.
-- Sensational Color
_______________________
Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.
-- Gerhard Richter

Il Polesine si identifica con la provincia di Rovigo, zona situata tra il basso corso dei fiumi Adige e Po, ai quali la sua storia è legata in modo indissolubile.
Il Polesine è infatti terra d’acque, di paesaggi sognanti e di atmosfere infinite, straordinario palcoscenico naturale, dove l’acqua si muove maestosa, tra golene, isole sabbiose, e il Po, con il suo delta, arriva placido al mare attraverso un labirinto di acque e canneti, paradiso per una fauna variegata.

Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation,
are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree,

A geological hammer, in memory of Mary Anning (1799-1847) from Lyme Regis/Dorset, fossil collector and lay palaeontologist and one of the key figures in the discovery of dinosaurs. She was not an "Anglican gentleman", not part of the establishment, but a dissenter and a woman and as such not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. "The world has used me so unkindly", she wrote. Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F 0.95; reflector used; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.
This image was taken at the Taiwan's Cheng long Elementary School pond in 2013. I've recently taken an online course from Piet Van den Enyde entitled Ultimate Lightroom Masking. The knowledge from this course has allowed me to use a combination of masks to rework this image.

This was just a test shot ahead of my planned evening shoot, but to be honest I prefer this daytime version on account that the colours show up better, especially the middle mustard section and roof cylinder. And the new pool does lend itself for some great reflections.

Harrow school library. The Vaughan Library is over 150 years old and was designed in Victorian Gothic style by George Gilbert Scott, who also conceived St Pancras Station in London. Refurbished and enlarged 23 years ago, it is staffed today by qualified librarians and open daily for boys to study, browse and enjoy a quiet space.

Real knowledge, or what is better called wisdom, is not a triumph over mystery but a rapport with the mystery—and with the meaning for which it stands.
-Approaching God, The Way of Abraham Joshua Heschel, John C. Merkle
Dante had become a not unfamiliar figure in Verona. Boccaccio tells of several Veronese ladies who saw him walking by one day. They were struck and a little frightened by his appearance, his face fixed in gloom and smudged as though by soot, his beard bristling as though tinged with fire. He seemed, they thought, a character emerging from his own Inferno.
-R. W. B. Lewis, Dante; A Life
Life is like a game of chess.

Insight and Knowledge
and by learning the lessons that are accumulated along the way.
We become each and every piece within the game

According to my humble knowledge, this is a Jizo statue.
Information found on internet:
""Jizo is the Japanese version of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, a Buddhist god worshiped mainly in East Asia. Jizo is, without doubt, one of the most popular and lovable of the Buddhist divinities and he has all the wisdom of the Lord Buddha himself, with this important difference, namely, that Jizo has waived aside Nirvana, and does not sit upon the Golden Lotus, but has become, through an exquisitely beautiful self-sacrifice, the divine playmate and protector of Japanese children.
‘O-Jizo-san‘ in Japanese honorific language, is the God of smiles and long sleeves, the enemy of evil spirits, and the one being who can heal the wound of a mother who has lost her child in death. Jizo is also the guardian of travelers, women and the weak.
You can find Jizo peeking out among the grasses along the road, standing at intersections, overseeing borders, or sitting in a wooden shelter built especially for him.
Jizo is at temples too, where sometimes he holds a baby in his arms. He is found at boundaries between places both physical and spiritual, between here and there, life and death.
Jizo represents a monk, and when people dress a monk statue, they accrue merit. Dressing Jizo gives people a chance to interact with him.""
Here you see a close up from his fascinating expression on his face.
Is she cute or what?
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

This was our class motto when I graduated from 8th grade. Is knowledge power? I don't know anymore. UPDATE: I posted this the night of the election; now a week out, yes I believe knowledge is power. The voters did the right thing in most states. Gerrymandering is now the problem, but hopefully we will get that taken care of too.
To my knowledge the Roseate Spoonbills in Florida are still scattered around and haven’t yet begun their rookery for this season’s nesting. One morning at Wakodahatchee Wetlands a couple hung around after sunrise and acted like they were looking for a nesting site. They do this every year in an effort to purposedly raise our hopes, only to dash them when they disappear to nest somewhere else. Well, I’m not falling for it this year!

"In the deepest sense the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a search for ourselves."
Carl Sagan
This male wood duck was a bit agitated because an Anhinga was sitting on the top of the palm where the Wood Ducks had established their nest. He began to fly toward the nest, apparently hoping to drive the Anhinga away, but gauged its size and thought better of it. This image shows his decision to turn away. There’s nothing like a strong maternal instinct. The hen, after waiting for what seemed an interminable period of time, finally had the courage to fly right under the Anhinga, straight into the next. That was no small feat. The opening of the palm was small and when she entered it when it wasn’t encumbered by a big old Anhinga, she would awkwardly land on the lip of the palm and sometimes fall when getting inside. Good Mom! Just to give the Anhinga’s side of the equation, this palm was its normal perch used to dry off its wings, long before these annoying Wood Ducks showed up. Why should he leave, he was there first! Anyway, the whole episode gave me and several other photographers a lot of entertainment as we watched the nesting play out. In the end, as I previously posted, a mixed brood of Wood Ducks and Black-bellied Whistling Ducks made it into the world. Small chicks lead a perilous existence and have hopefully survived. Momma Wood Duck has kept them secreted away and to my knowledge they’ve been out of sight since the hatching. Good luck little guys!

On the night of 10th May this year we had a major flood event in Hobart, Tasmania. We had 3.5 times the average monthly rainfall in 24 hours - 130mm.
On that night it was very stormy. But when it was in full force it was quite extraordinary. Our laundry ceiling collapsed and we had a river of water flowing through the ceiling. Our family had a bucket train going to minimise the damage as best we could.
And the whole time, there was constant lightning in the sky. Non-stop. Never seen anything like it. Almost expected to see the rim of a massive ufo appear through the clouds.
The next morning when we looked at the world around us, we saw that the University suffered much worse than we did. This photo is of the Law building - water flowed through the library, bursting the doors and a river of books were swept onto the car park and the oval. Quite extraordinary. The engineering building basement was flooded completely.
So six months later, our laundry is finally being repaired by the insurance company. Either a testament to how widespread the damage was and the lack of resources to fix everything in a reasonable time, or something else.
