I must have been mad but the other guys who missed out wanted to go so I thought what the hell, lets go again and maybe capture something different. So thats what I did today.
A real time capsule but nature is taking back a lot of the rooms with full on decay and collapsed floors. Not to mention a shotgun wielding farmer and a bull roaming the enclosure to make matters worse. No chase today - bull was curiously watching us run away but did not decide to pursue.

The amount of knowledge one library can hold, but I'm not certain if one brain can
Lunch was simply good. My dearest made a vegetarian English lunch today, consisting of toasted bread, baked beans, sunny side up eggs, pancakes, blueberries (the berries) and fried mushrooms. It tasted so good !! Stuffed at the end of the meal.
The rest of the day was spent in the library. I think I studies fairly well considering the fact that I was on holiday for a pretty long time.
Between study times, I usually walk through the shelves of the library and enjoy the quietness. Looking at all the books, shelf after shelf, like wandering in the wilderness.
As far back as I can remember, I've always been a curious guy. Knowledge satisfy me and yet it fuels me. Wandering between those shelves made me feel so small. Looking at words that is all so familiar, yet, hundreds of questions flood into my mind as my curious mind tries to recall my previous knowledge over other subjects.
Sometimes I wonder if we're using our vast knowledge well. Sometimes I feel like I've been taking for granted the opportunities of the learning.
There is so much to know, so much to find out, so many questions to answer. Learning is lifelong I suppose.
Took this photo when I visited slum area near Gujjar Khan. This boy, the one with the book caught my eye. He was so busy reading that he didn't notice me taking his photos. I just hope he keeps that passion for knowledge.
As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.
Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.
Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.
Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.
Views of a huge, fabulous painted design by the architect Roger Ferri, at Columbia University Libraries' Avery Drawings & Archives. This piece of the Ferri collection, which I was helping to process as part of a fantastic internship with D&A, ended up being transferred to Avery's Art Properties division for appropriate conservation and storage. I dearly hope some inspired faculty member or department chair requests it for display in their office/building - it's a treat, and fundamentally Ferri, with its pastel presentation of an aquatic Grecian utopia: dolphins and male nudes, swimming around in the limpid light. This was in fact a design for V'Soske, famed manufacturer of high-end, artist-designed rugs and carpets. To the best of my current knowledge, this item never went into production. But I admit I have daydreams of finding an unacknowledged and unappreciated prototype gathering dust in a flea market someplace...

Communications board on a wall in the Observatory's office showing key dates for events, research publications, press releases, network and data group meetings, website updates and so on.
This board was created to contribute to a larger need identified in the Observatory's Investors in Excellence Improvement Plan (December 2009):
"Improve understanding of each others' others' work, share knowledge / best practice and make sure we are consistent and aren't duplicating each work."

Knowledge Totem Pole carved by Coast Salish artist Cicero August, British Columbia Parliament Buildings, Victoria, British Columbia.
Showing someone their political/family orientation which they either don't know or have lost touch with. I simplify it to conservative or liberal. Red for conservative and blue for liberal, kind of like the current --blue state/Democrat -- red state/Republican-- description. I also like the --right brain/blue -- left brain/red --orientation descriptions if you are familiar with those from psychology.
This self knowledge would help us not to more deeply ingrain our prejudices in futile conflicts. For example, if a person knows they are more conservative they know that they must restrain their inclination to attack those that have strengths or weaknesses in the liberal vein. That could mean being less critical of new ideas. It could mean being less critical of more free ideas of personal behavior. Another common and more serious problem is overreacting to violations of legislated law or other traditional doctrines. For closer views see: flickr.com/photos/21702692@N05/2101757001/
