An alternative (and final!) take on Salisbury Cathedral's new font.
If it served no other purpose, the cathedral would stand as a superb testament to the skills of thousands of craftsmen and artisans down the ages - including this recent piece.

Här kommer mitt bidrag till fotosöndags veckotemat - kunskap.
Denna gången så var det min dotter som satt modell. Det roliga var att jag ville ha en annan komposition. Men halvvägs genom sittningen så kliade hon sig på huvudet och hennes uttryck var perfekt. Så vi tog det i stället lol.
My contribution to fotosöndag's weekly challenge - knowledge.
This time my daughter was the model. It was funny as I wanted to go for a totally different shot but half way through posing she scratched her head and the expression on her face was perfect. So we went with that instead lol.
If you've a head for hedge mazes, you will be rewarded at the end by entrance to a vast and breath-taking library. Who knows what knowledge might lay between those pages!
A visit to the Library of Congress and all its wonders. You can take the kid out of the library but you cannot take the knowledge learned out of the kid.
When photographing the Paul Sabatier University library (Toulouse, France), I wanted to capture the geometric essence of this modernist architecture. I deliberately chose a diagonal framing to create strong visual tension and transform this familiar building into an almost abstract composition. The black and white treatment allowed me to emphasize the contrast between dark and light surfaces, while highlighting the repetitive patterns of windows and panels. I was seeking a clean image where lines and shapes become the main subject, moving beyond mere architectural representation to reach a more graphic and contemplative dimension. This photo tells the story of my fascination with how modern architecture can be reinterpreted through a minimalist lens.
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.
In the 'land of my fathers' the Paradise Tree (known now as a Christmas tree) was hung with apples and wafers, to symbolise the fruits of the tree of knowledge, and the Redemption. German migrants spread the practice across England and America. Now everybody is at it.
Like many European Christian traditions, the fir tree has Pagan origins, when a tree would be brought inside, in preparation for Yule, to symbolise eternal life, fertility, and the return of life after the long winter.
This might sound odd given that I am of a 'certain age', but this is the first time I have gone out to buy a tree and dress it all myself. It's been fun and a learning experience. For other Weinachtsbaum virgins, the trick is to put the lights on first (and test them!), then the angel on top, then the tinsel, and the baubles on last.
As a counterpoint to photos of this year's Blackstone Valley Polar Express trains let's look back to another gray day three years ago that at least ran with 'proper' power in the form of GP38-2s 2006 and 2008 (blt. new for the railroad Feb. and Dec. 1980 respectively).
Copied below is the caption I wrote on the time when originally shared on FB long before I had my photography page or Flickr.

As I've told you before in previous posts the Providence & Worcester is my hometown road. It is inextricably linked to the river it follows.
The Blackstone River courses 48 miles from its headwaters near Worcester (at the confluence of the Middle River and Mill Brook) to where it flows into the Seekonk River and the headwaters of Narragansett Bay. The river drains a watershed of 640 square miles and more importantly drops 450 feet in the 48 miles. It is that drop, that made this river a pivotal point in American History.
From ririvers.org: "A series of steep drops along the length of the Blackstone River provided ideal conditions for the development of water powered industry. Samuel Slater arrived in America in 1790, with managerial experience and technical knowledge of textile manufacturing in England. With the assistance of local merchants and artisans, he helped establish the first successful water-powered textile mill in America. Slater Mill was established on the Blackstone River, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This achievement is credited with spawning the birth of America's industrial revolution. Development of the Slater textile mill catalyzed the development of water-driven technology throughout the length of the Blackstone River. By 1914 water-powered mills occupied all of the readily available dam sites in the Valley."
As the birthplace of industrial America, the need for transportation quickly arose in the valley, and between 1825 and 1828 the Blackstone Canal was constructed. The canal lasted only 20 years having been rendered obsolete by the opening of the Providence and Worcester Railroad in 1847. The railroad has proven to be a more durable method of transportation and 171 years after its opening I was out photographing the modern incarnation of the P&W on it's home rails.
Just as the railroad's history is tied forever with the Blackstone River, so is it's physical route. In its 43 rail miles between its namesake points it crosses the river 14 times (counting one crossing of the Middle River). In this series of photos I have a shot of four of those crossings that are found along the route of my chase between Woonsocket, RI and Uxbridge, MA.
The northbound train is again seen crossing the river in the woods at about MP 23.2 on the mainline near Skull Rock Landing. The thru truss span clearly shows evidence that the route was once double tracked during the era of New Haven control.

For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
FIRST THING TO DO IS FOR YOU TO ENRICH YOUR KNOWLEDGE
==================================================
This Is What We Do ....We Take The Children Along .....And Pass On Knowledge And Wisdom Gained Over These Years... This Is The Way We Put Our Children In Fast Track.....
Youngsters Are Quick Learners And Much More Proficient In Handling Modern Gadgets And Net knowers....Nevertheless,,,A Bottle Of Water Will Be of Help..since lots of Questions and Elucidation is the norm .That Is Another Matter.
We Need Their Car And Drive....To Reach High Places ..Especially In A Foreign Land......That Is A Different Matter....Altogether

When we brought this fridge we promised that we would keep it free of magnets. Now it is covered on the two exposed sides with magnets.
It makes me wonder whether secrets and promises have a half-life, whether they decay with time. Perhaps there is a statute of limitations on promises and secrets.
Did you know that the half-life of facts within the medical field is estimated at about 45 years whilst the estimated half-life of knowledge in psychology is around 5 years?
