I have met semi-literate village intellectuals with a lot of wisdom and highly educated scholars not in control of their motivations. The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is a tricky one. Let us try this formulation: wisdom without knowledge is an impossibility, knowledge without wisdom is vacuous. The point here really is the definition of knowledge or, more precisely, the privileging of a certain type of knowledge (let us call it, for lack of a better term, the academic variety) over other types. Such other types may be emotional knowledge, or social and cultural abilities. The whole sector of artistic expression should be mentioned as well. Just to make the point again: wisdom is based on knowledge, it is not a "return to childhood". So, little cherub, go out into this world and make yourself knowledgeable, you might get wisdom, too.

When it comes to working the sea around Tomahawk (or in fact the entire northeastern coastline) sailors need to be very careful. Those rocks on the left would rip a little boat like this apart in minutes. This is where local knowledge comes in so handy. It's not just a matter of knowing where all the rocks and reefs are (depth finders and GPS will give you that information), but understanding the currents.
This fishing trawler is working the area between Tomahawk Point and Tomahawk Island (which we'll see shortly). It would be so easy to be swept onto the rocks.
This photo has a few interesting features. The water appears layered with various shades of green, aqua and blue. That darker line on which the trawler appears to be sitting is a cloud shadow I could not more perfectly have placed. I am of course shooting into the sunlight here.
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.
The current church stands on the place where probably for centuries an older shrine had stood. You shouldn't trust legends fully, but often is true that where there's no fire, there's also no smoke. And the old legend attributes building of this church ancestor as well of the nearby Planina castle - to giants. Supposedly two brothers were building the two buildings, having only one big hammer. So, they were simply throwing it to each other, from one hill to another. Our ancestors often named indigenous people "ajdi" (plural). Those people remained from the ancient Roman empire, they had knowledge and were Christians. It's quite possible that some kind of a shrine stood on the hill already in the early middle ages. The more reliable documents say that the current church was erected in the 15th century and rebuilt into the present shape in the middle of the 18th century, partly also in the century after.
He he he!! Eva dropped some knowledge in class today: what are materials, how they work and function on different bodies, how to customize them to make them pop more and show properly, lighting and more! Great lessons and learned a LOT! TYSM Eva!
Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.
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.

A project by Ildefons Cerdà and another by Josep Amargós in 1894 proposed to convert Montjuïc into a residential area. Another idea for the celebration of the exhibition in Montjuïc was proposed in 1909 when Manuel Vega i March suggested that the culminating point of the development should be ‘a great Temple of Art, a summary and compendium of our most prodigious knowledge’. Finally, in 1913, it was decided that Montjuïc would be the definite location for the Exhibition of Electric Industries, promoted by the industry and the city council of Barcelona.
being knowledgeable is essential, because, to me, nothing appears quite so difficult as to pose a model well and light him correctly, for the very reason that it seems so simple to do.
In the interest of photography and photographers I cannot urge amateurs enough to understand that photography is not a trade but an art and that, as a consequence, their feeling and their knowledge must be reflected in their works just as the feeling of a painter is reflected in his paintings :-)

Macro Mondays: Star theme

By Megan Cope, 2022.
At 80 Ann Street, Brisbane.
"What becomes of the clouds
Megan Cope’s work draws on the archives and historical maps to create important public documents of Indigenous knowledge, memory and experiences.
Cope’s work echoes the landscape and history and in this work remembers the creek which used to run through the 80 Anne St site.
The waterway outline underfoot in the marble terrazzo directs the public's movement through the laneway while the glass and light sculpture in the ceiling follows the undulation and waterflow from the river to the reservoir simultaneously corresponding to the brass inlay, connecting land to sky and the relationship water plays within that space.
The creek was a life-source for everyone directing Indigenous then later European settler movements through the landscape. The banks of the creek and its water’s movement has been interrupted many times throughout history
—a reservoir was placed upstream during early European settlement and the creek disappeared from maps by the late 1870s and was eventually built into a drain. The brass outline of the creek is based on a lithograph map of Brisbane from 1863 which is visible on the glass gate at the entrance at night.

Revisited this location after 8 years: back then I used a 2nd hand Canon 350D, no nd filter, cheap tripod, and not a lot of knowledge. I was very proud of the result, but looking back and comparing the results, I'm more proud about the difference!

Национальный технический университет Украины «Киевский политехнический институт имени Игоря Сикорского».
май 2019: Возле корпуса Киевского политехнического института (КПИ) больше нет деревянной скульптуры под названием “Ступени познания”. Предположительно, ее демонтировали по причине гниения дерева.
Деревянная скульптура “Ступени познания” располагалась на территории КПИ. Скульптура была вырезана из посаженного в конце XIX века бука. Дерево было высотой более 25 метров с обхватом 3,4 метра. Весной 2012 года его сломала гроза, и из него было решено сделать скульптуру. Композиция представляла собой высокую (7 метров) стопку книг, которую сверху украшают металлические элементы – шапка магистра и свисающий галстук. Создатели уверяли, что “Ступени познания” должны были простоять как минимум 25 лет.

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. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

"Knowledge is an achievement sublime.
A learning experience, one day at a time.
Knowledge is power...even if we
choose not to use it, imperatively.
From the day we are born,
we are blessed with the right
to study our world, to give our minds flight.
To hunger for more, to expand our potential.
Knowledge is something truly essential.
Answers to questions the mind can impart,
nurtures the hunger for knowledge, to start
the process of learning, the beginning of growth,
a personal quest and a personal oath,
to become the very best one can be.
Yes, that is the road I have chosen for me!
It's all up to us...that desire to learn.
An impression within our hearts, it should burn,
and daily, the blessings, upon us will shower.
Always hold to the truth,
that...Knowledge Is Power!"
