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.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Another shot focusing on Mood. Funny thing this was shot from a moving car in Poland. I wanted to stop and shot the sunset instead I had to get my timing right to get a subject, focus, and shutter. It was shot with a tilt-shift (which is all manual), so you could image the technical challenge this posed. The tree just sticks out, gave me this whole thought of Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge, hence the title.
I love photography. I love photography even more when things work out.
Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.
The Rijksmuseum Research Library in Amsterdam is one of the most famous and extensive art history libraries in the world, renowned for its breathtaking multi-level 19th-century reading room. Its stunning architecture can be seen from the upper viewing galleries of the Rijksmuseum.

"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."

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.

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.
It's getting to be late September...here in Maryland, it's Harvest Time. In my real life, for the last 27 years I have been a bookkeeper/comptroller for a family owned Real Estate Brokerage. It just so happens that the family has been involved in agriculture dating back to the 50's. So when I asked if I could take some photos of them combining corn, I received a warm welcome. When I arrived, the combine operator (my boss's Son) recognized me and invited me along for a ride. It was amazing...the technology...the power...the capacity. Let me tell you...you are sitting 3 M above the ground looking down at the corn rows...I was impressed with the knowledge required to run it. Enough.
I know the two pics are essentially the same...and I am not sure which one I like better.

I have always struggled with shots of the moon, so I resorted to the fount of all knowledge, YouTube, to learn how to process the images. This is my first attempt using Pipp and Registax, finished in lightroom and photoshop. I think I finally understand why people are so fascinated with Lunar photography
