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

Best things come in small packages, apparently. Which doesn't say a lot for me, being 6ft 2ins tall, a good chunk broad and former rugby playing forward. But does say everything about this delightful little flower, Lewisia, that's so small you'd pass by without ever noticing her. Credit goes, of course, to the lovely, Lady Bo, for her knowledge, horticultural skills and planting these exquisite wee flowers in the garden, resulting in me crouching down on bended knees, not to propose again, but with G16 in hand this time...

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,
and are portrayed in various religions and philosophies as the same tree
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)
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

This is probably my personal favourite shot taken on my recent trip to the Faroe Islands. Since the country remains largely unexplored I didn't have much prior knowledge regarding the landscape and photographic locations, excepting a few popular spots, so much of my photography was completely spontaneous.
This unexpected location literally took my breath away a soon as I stumbled upon it. I decided to go for an exploration of the northern isles by car since it was a pretty wet and windy day, so the island of Kunoy was one of those island destinations. This is the most mountainous island of all in the Faroes, with six mountains rising higher than 800 meters.
The nakesake village, pictured here, is the oldest settlement on the island. This location literally blew my breath away. I didn't expect it to be so spectacular, with the spate river Myllá thundering between the quaint Faroese houses, all nestled beneath an arena of moody and majestic mountains.
It was a pretty difficult image to execute as it was relentlessly raining, but I managed to capture a couple of shots whilst keeping the lens dry.
Navigating here requires both skill, experience and good local knowledge ...

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.

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.

Basically straight out of camera, no bystanders were harmed or surgically removed without their knowledge in the production of this image! ;) It is what it was, and it sure was a little beauty!

"Ipsa scientia potestas est". The phrase “Knowledge is power” is commonly attributed to Francis Bacon,1597
I am beginning to wonder --
recently it seems the "power is power" and knowledge seems to have no place in American politics.
On Tuesday, the director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned over the war in Iran, urging Trump to "reverse course".
In a letter, Kent argued that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US, despite the administration's repeated claims to the contrary.
Recently, Donald Trump made several blunt comments about Joe Kent after Kent resigned from his role as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in March 2026.
What Trump said:
Trump dismissed Kent as “weak on security”.
He said it was “a good thing that he’s out” of the administration.
He criticised Kent’s judgement, saying people who think Iran isn’t a threat are “not smart” or “not savvy.”
Kent resigned in protest over the U.S. war with Iran, arguing the conflict was unnecessary and based on misleading information.
Trump, by contrast, has defended the war as necessary for national security and based on credible threats.
And the weirdest bit of all - - - Trump nominated Kent in February 2025 to be director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Knowledge without love inflates the ego and deceives the mind. It can lead to intellectual snobbery, an attitude of mockery and making fun of other’s views, a spirit of contempt for those with lesser knowledge, and a demeaning way of dealing with people who disagree. - Alexander Strauch
“Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God’s eyes. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time.”
-Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander (Garden City, NY: Image, 1968), 158.
The Second of a duo looking at the University Campus as a metaphor for the traditional collection, maintenance and transmission of knowledge. Here the buildings appear to be crumbling, or, are in the process of RE-formation, morphing into something else.
Now firmly ensconced in the "Information" age, we might want to consider the difference(S) between information and knowledge. One does not imply the other. How we go forward with education is just as much up for question as everything else that seems to be in crisis. If we're not meeting the needs of our culture and creating a good society, only producing money-making robots, then we have some serious re-thinking to do.
I used Latin Text ( courtesy of Google Translate ) here for the titles as the language has always been seen as de rigeur in academic achievement ...... at least, traditionally. It therefore implies the old, both with utmost respect and an understanding that we might need to move away from the traditional into a new way of doing things.
