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

..it was Saturday, about 7am, i'd been on the streets since 3am ...and I found myself on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, the day was just breaking and two young guys passed by ... on their way home from a Friday night out .. they stopped for a chat, they were friendly, knowledgable around the camera and genuinely interested in what I was doing.
Hope you like the pic guys ...

Many years ago I thought nothing of purchasing anything made of plastic. Looking at this image of plastic straws, I am reminded that it is up to each and every one of us to make significant changes to our lives if we care about our Earth and those who will live long after we have left this planet.
In my mind, this image has gone from one of captured beauty to one as a reminder that I need to be aware of my part in protecting Mother Earth.
"Knowledge"
by Jacob Lee
Sit close
Let me tell you every truth I know
I could read you poetry and prose
We could contemplate the syllables
If you so wish for it
If so
Let your consciousness dissolve like snow
Watch the branches replicate your bones
Place the precious palms among your own
Be the water and the boat, and so I stow
Every thought that lies inside of me
Atop the shelves, amidst my library
So when you're older you may visit me
When I'm at peace
Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
It's okay if you don't understand just yet
Speak slow
Let me ask before I take a note
May I read a couple words you wrote?
Every page you touch, the letters glow
From the ashes do we grow
And I boast
I can comprehend the words you spoke
You're the writer and the quote, and so I hope
Every thought that lies inside of me
Someday finds its way from soul to speech
So I may bestow our legacy
Like you to me
Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
Like trying to speak while remaining in silence
Like facing your fears without feeling frightened
I'll never know if I'm yet to try it
I'll do my best to stay open-minded
Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until understand, I do, oh
Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."
La strada che porta alla conoscenza è una strada che passa per dei buoni incontri.
The road that leads to knowledge is a road that passes through good meetings.
(Baruch Spinoza)
I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with. Plato

Forsythia is pure joy.
There is not an ounce,
not a glimmer of sadness or
even knowledge in forsythia.
Pure, undiluted, untouched joy.

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 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.
KNOWLEDGE is the topic for Wed Jan 13 2021 Group Our Daily Challenge.
This guy was clever enough to grab the nuts that park visitors were feeding squirrels with, before a squirrel could spot them, which is a sign of knowledge.
Wikipedia says:
Ravens and crows are among the most intelligent birds. For example, they show in experiments the ability to plan complex actions. When hiding food, they show both great memory skills and the ability to empathize with others. A raven seems to know that a food hiding place is only safe if it is not observed while hiding. In addition, ravens show an amazing learning behavior (making tools, using road traffic to crack nuts and fruits....

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.
It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.

Era bellissima, lei, e guardava sempre il mare. Per poter vedere quegli occhi, lui, il mare lo tenne sempre alle spalle. E non lo vide mai.
She was beautiful, her, and always looked at the sea. In order to see those eyes, he, the sea always kept behind. And he never saw him.

Did you know that the leaves and bulb of a Daffodil contain toxic alkaloid called Lycorine. This substance keeps predators (except certain types of insects) on a safe distance. Due to toxic sap in the stem, daffodil should not be kept in the vase with other plants (it is harmful for them). Facts found at www.softschools.com/facts/plants/daffodil_facts/675/
