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...

145th Jayanti Celebration of Bhagavan Sri Ramanamaharshi - 17-12-2024
I've been wanting to start a 52 weeks project because that's the only way to keep producing work now. I've been so happy in art school that I just don't feel the need to create concepts for photos. I am really enjoying my drawing, painting, engraving & bookbinding classes and I don't want to think about anything else right now... It feels so great to focus on other kind of arts too :3
I'm on standby, but filling myself with inspiration and knowledge.
I took this picture because even though I haven't had the need... I do miss it.

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.

The future looks busy :) with some new adventures planned ahead.
The original Tree was a 200 year-old ghost gum growing in front of the Barcaldine railway station in outback Queensland. In its shade, workers met to plan the Great Shearers’ strike of 1891. The following year, at the foot of the tree, the Manifesto of the Queensland Labour Party was read out for the first time. Subsequently the Manifesto became one of the foundation documents for the Australian Labor Party and the tree became an icon for the labour movement in Australia.
In an act of vandalism the tree was poisoned in 2006. In response the local council commissioned a team of architects and arborists to save what was left of the trunk and limbs and to build a monument around them. The photograph here was shot from underneath looking up into the outer screen that both surrounds the tree and suggests the shape of its canopy as it existed around 1900. The work is constructed of recycled timbers designed to create a ‘mourning veil’ around the relic and to be a celebration of its historic importance.

Me and a few other ARC troopers of the 253rd have been ordered to take a little detour back to Kamino before our next mission. Command has ordered us to pass on our knowledge and train the next batch of ARC troopers, that will one day fight beside, if not replace us. I am happy to assist in training. I remember how I was in such a ARC promotion program and thus know what these recruits might be capable of one day. I’ll try my best to teach them well.

As the "year is ending" and "a new one" is around the corner how much have you developed this past year? How much have you worked on yourself? Your character, personality, self-confidence, relationships, friendships, knowledge, health, emotions. It's nothing to do about your job or your dreams. It's about your life.

It’s all about imagination!
Albert Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
Alaric de Cournouiller continues his Journey to get to reach the city of Sognéterno. He has found some regenerating roots in Grandcastell Canyo on the way and has discovered a shiny crytal.
After a few days of walk without finding anything good, red dots in the distance caught his attention, it was red mushroom. He wanders if he can truth his knowledge and bring these with him, might be useful.
For the signs and the fences, I got inspired by
LEGO Hanged Man’s Tree - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"
Happy New year ! The first and certainly not the last of the year :)

Rowan University Acquires Knowledge Is Power sculpture
Zenos Frudakis’ monumental bronze sculpture Knowledge is Power will be installed at Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey in Autumn, 2014. A dedication will be held in November.
The bronze sculpture is 8 feet high x 12 feet long, with two free-standing over life-size figures on either end. The figures represent educators holding an open book that presents individuals from intellectual history. One page presents Darwin as the central figure; the partnering page, shows Einstein stepping out of the book. Some of the 31 portraits of individuals and their quotes, mathematical formulae, musical notations and other elements are listed on a separate page.
The sculpture was commissioned by Dr. Francesca Cottone Shaughnessy in honor of her brother, Villanova educator Charles Sebastian Cottone, now deceased. Dr. Shaughnessy
worked for the School District of Philadelphia for 30 years as a psychologist. She asked Zenos Frudakis to create a sculpture that would "encourage students to enjoy the pleasures of learning" and site it where students and teachers could enjoy it. Inspired by Henry Rowan’s $100M gift to Glassboro University (renamed Rowan University) twenty-one years ago, Dr. Shaughnessy decided to offer the gift of this sculpture to Rowan University.

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.
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!
While scouring this years pics to put together a calendar for my dad I ran across this fellow. I can't imagine anyone who's ever been to the Western Washington University campus missing this beauty. I was going to the top of the hill to look out at the city and it drew me like a magnet. No evil here, just good. :-)
the map marker is approximate but close, I've only been there once.

Imagine my surprise when Machel Spence, a photographer I admire immensely told me she wrote a testimonial for me. Machel is a master of light, bokeh and all things fungi. Her stream is filled with the most beautiful images of trilobites, cephalopods, mushrooms, stick bugs, flowers and BOKEH galore. She also educates us with her expansive naturalist knowledge. Thank you so much for the beautiful testimonial Machel. I am so honored. It means the world to me coming from you! You can see her beauty here....

P.S. I attempted a shot of some of my hubby's fossils and a snail to honor her but I just cannot do what she does.
I saw the sun shining on this flower in my backyard. i never thought my camera would actually catch the rays of sunlight that I saw....but it did.
Explored~ thank you.
