Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.
I was amazed by the ceiling in this room, which symbolized for me the Tree of Knowledge at the Gottesman Research Library and Learning Center of the Museum of Natural History in New York. It was designed by Studio Gang, the international and urban practice design firm led by Jeanne Gang, and was reopened in 2023.
----------------------------- 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. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Just over five centuries ago, Da Vinci spent 5 years waiting for Mona Lisa. And it was great, because until today Mona enchants us with her enigmatic smile, her charm, elegance and nobility of character.
But Leonardo had to wait much longer before Mona Harris appeared. And he admits, it was worth it. A woman of principles and knowledge transformed into wisdom, able of uniting a people disunited since the American Civil War. We live on a wild little planet. It's time to heal our wounds. It's time to look to a future for everyone. Of all races. Of all religions. From all social classes. Ignorance makes wars. Uniting people is an Art. The true Art of Life.

A classic camera resting on the pages of the timeless Enciclopedia Treccani—a perfect pairing of two treasures that preserve history. One captures moments through a lens, while the other captures the world through words and knowledge.
Together, they remind us that storytelling comes in many forms: the click of a shutter or the turn of a page. 📚✨

"Conservation and rural-life policies are really two sides of the same policy; and down at the bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless, in dealing with the present, thought is steadily given for the future."
-Theodore Roosevelt
Distinctive ring patterns in the large cobblestone area of Universitetetsplassen (University Square) in Oslo, right in front of the historic University of Oslo buildings, contributing significantly to the neoclassical aesthetic of the surrounding university complex and provides a unique visual landmark in the heart of Oslo.

The photograph's composition is very much dictated by the arrangement of the cloud, hopefully allowing it's full drama to dictate the scene.
A completely inaccurate weather forecast (by TWO separate online services), that promised frequent sunny intervals on the tops from dawn, spurred me to make the long trip up to Glen Spean, going without a night's sleep in order to make the most of the day. At sunrise, as you see, a few rents in the cloud allowed one or two breaks to briefly enliven things - but not long after this was taken the clag moved in with more authority, distributing heavy(ish) snowfall for the remaining hours I spent up there. The copious hill-fog just didn't look like retreating, & a gusty, unpredictable wind seemed to be widening it's scope. Having just one decent photograph (there are others of roughly the same scene under different light) hardly merits a 300 mile round trip, so I'm beating myself up a wee bit at present at my spontaneous decision to 'push the boat out', despite knowledge of previous erroneous predictions by the professionals. The photograph, itself, I'm very happy with (at the moment).
Coire Ardair is one of Scotland's most dramatic corries. I was first introduced to this glorious setting a few years back on a spring day that nearly seen me blown off Creag Meagaidh by one of the most fixed, constant jet-stream winds I can ever remember. Numerous day-long, static lenticular clouds stand out in my memory.
My return, yesterday, revealed the same corrie & it's resident lochan buried under huge amounts of snow. A very different scene.
The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West
The internet is a “mirage of knowledge” with an inexhaustible supply of “facts” to confirm any bias. It “encourages not only the illusion that we are all equally competent” but also the illusion “that we are all peers.”4 Since our society is based on the principle that we are all equal, we are encouraged to believe that everyone’s opinion is equally valid, regardless of whether it is based on actual knowledge. Reporters routinely ask ordinary people for their opinions, and “talking heads” on news programs spend hours speculating and pontificating on matters of which they have no direct knowledge, their comments based on presumptions with no attempt even to hide their biases. Any idea of maintaining a clear line between fact and opinion seems to have disappeared.

This image's provenance may go back to the famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer. It is one of the most copied master works of human kind. Vermeer may have used his knowledge and practice of art to employ technology to transform an ordinary image into a masterpiece. I found the descendant of his iconic image in a photograph by Zack Zhang (not sure as it was posted on Pinterest without proper attribution), which I studied by transforming it into a digital image in Procreate, the digital painting software. Then I used my rendition as a starting point for its tranformation into AI synthetic art by Stable Diffusion. A clip interrogator derived a prompt from my painting that read, "a woman with a blue head scarf on her head and a black background with a black background and a white background." I then further styled the picture, generating over a hundred versions. Marcel Duchamp says art is conceptual and artists simply go through a decision process to transform an ordinary object into an extraordinary one. This image is my homage to the artist working with whatever tools falls into their hands.
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!

A reflection of "House of Knowledge" by Jaume Plensa.
My previous post of this piece.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton, Yorkshire, UK.
24 April, 2011.
My YSP set.
"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!"

The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.
