Head of Henry the Navigator (acrylic cast taken from his tomb at the Monastery of Batalha, here seen at the Casa do Infante Dom Henrique, Porto). Whether we like it or not, the history of European overseas "discovery", expansion and Christian mission has been one of the major factors shaping the world as we know it. At the beginning of it, that is, in the 15th century, stands the formidable figure of Dom Henrique in Porto. His overseas projects were knowledge-based (navigation, geometry, mathematics, astronomy, cartography) and involved the university. Portugal's colonial empire produced the wealth that led for example to the baroque and gold-plated makeover of Porto's churches. Though Brazil got its independence in the 19th century, in other parts of the world Portuguese colonialism lasted up to the 1970s. Those subjected to Portuguese colonialism tend to tell this story in less gentle ways.

A display in the library at Biltmore in Asheville, NC. This lamp of knowledge also appear on the bookplates in George Vanderbilt's custom-bound library books, of which there are thousands.
Another museum shot......Take note how the wild 14 year old poses politely for his father and pretends to be interested in the exhibit!!!
I had mistaken this butterfly for a Monarch .. actually I had little knowledge that the two were different .. I take photos .. of all pretty things.
Up to week three in RogueOlympics and this time the prompt was “Volume”. I went with the literary definition, “a book forming part of a work or series,” building this old library scene. 101 parts used.
Parts overview available on Brickbuilt.
Those cubicle-shaped rooms in those buildings look like books and the whole building looks like a bookshelf. Those rooms representing knowledge. Wings are the focal point in this picture because that is the end result, which is freedom. And with that freedom that person holds endless opportunities (sky is the limit).
Just a town library - but as imposing as a cathedral! A temple of the written word, of knowledge and creative thought.
This February 8, 2016 composite image reveals the complex distribution of phytoplankton in one of Earth's eastern boundary upwelling systems — the California Current. Recent work suggests that our warming climate my be increasing the intensity of upwelling in such regions with possible repercussions for the species that comprise those ecosystems.
NASA's OceanColor Web is supported by the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Our responsibilities include the collection, processing, calibration, validation, archive and distribution of ocean-related products from a large number of operational, satellite-based remote-sensing missions providing ocean color, sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity data to the international research community since 1996.

And I hate to tell you... but I think that once you have a fair idea where you want to go, your first move will be to apply yourself in a school. You'll have to. You're a student—whether the idea appeals to you or not. You're in love with knowledge. And I think you'll find, once...
My poor neglected little flickr stream! I haven't posted here in quite a while.
Here are a couple of my favs from a recent session. I would love some blog love;)
The Cuypers library in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is one of the reasons to visit the museum. I really like the atmosphere...
This image is not SOOC. No, it needed a lot of TLC to come out like this. It is a 5 imagepanorama with 5 exposure-brackets brought together in Photoshop.
But you may like it as it is.
Everyone deserves that power.
Our world doesn't seem to learn.
That war is not the answer.
That history repeats itself.
That the same problems we said we'd aim to fix ten years ago.. still persist today.
And the only way to change, advance, and revolutionize
Is to enlighten the world.
