Since I'm bereft of musical knowledge I have no concept of what an 'adjusto-matic' bridge might be. Same goes for hydromatic ( see Grease, the Musical). However, I can draw a treble clef, forwards and backwards as well as simultaneously with both hands...one can get extremely bored when working 12 hour night shifts. 😃

At least, that is the motto seen here over a side entrance to the old main building of Hamburg University. It is not that old, only dating from 1911. And it did not start as a university (that happened in 1919, in the Weimar Republic) but a "Kolonialinstitut". Germany before 1918 did have colonies. Knowledge as an instrument of power gets a totally new meaning then. But even later, when being a university, this academic institution was rather particular where its knowledge ought to be invested. For the Jews they did not cry when thousands were assembled next door virtually, at the Moorweide, and deported to their death. Knowledge? Yes. But whose knowledge, whose power? Fuji X-Pro1.

Black Star "K.O.S. (Determination)"
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.
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!
Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.
Another Twirl photo. The starting point this time was a photo of books on shelves.
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated

To the best of my knowledge - and the advice of experts - this is one of 5 photographs of Cory's Shearwater taken from the good ship Flipper bobbing about off Puerto Tazacorte on La Palma in the Canary Islands. Distinguishing Cory's from Scopoli's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) is extremely difficult in the field. With the correct light conditions, the most useful pointer for Scopoli's is the amount of white on the inner tip of the wings (less extensive on Cory's).
Leading birder and recorder on La Palma, Robert Burton, says: "On that basis, your first two photographs seem to correspond to Cory's, judging from the illustation in the field guide. Other differences (body size, bill thickness) are hard to assess in the field, apparently... unless you were able to compare various individuals. But both species do mix when feeding!"
My thanks to Robert (lapalmabirds.blogspot.co.uk) for helping me locate some of the difficult-to-find species of birds and butterflies of La Palma.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photographs is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.

These creatures always look wise to me. Probably because i know that to get to this size/age, they have learned...and they have gained wisdom by living with all they have learned.
A couple interesting things i have learned after a class on sea turtles that i took, It is thought that only one in 1000 hatchlings make it to adulthood, due to natural predators, and that the sex of the babies is determined by where they are located in the nest! The temperature of the nest (sand) will be warmer on the outer edges of the nest and the temperature in the center of the nest is cooler, thus determining male or female!
If you have any interest in learning more about them, this site is rather good: www.seeturtles.org/baby-turtles
i am going to relax a bit...i have a little touch of headache and have been battling it all day, likely thanks to the Typhoid Vaccine that i had the first dose of last night. I feel a bit lethargic today, and i may have had a slight fever earlier...just feel like a rest is in order after doing laundry and washing all the floors.
Have a spectacular weekend...stay safe and cool!
My cultural knowledge fails me with this particular photograph. Are the dancers depicting a part of the traditional Kerala dance form or is it something else. The Mallus brethren or sistern ;-) please come to the rescue and tell us what is it that is going on here.
The deep thoughtful visage is something that totally defines the Malayalee. Serious, poignant and always thinking of something heavy is what is my 3 years of experience with the Malayalee people.
Onam in Kerala is the most important festival. This a season of happiness. It would me much like what Diwali is like for the people of North India.
People buy their new clothes, new gadgets, new everything around Onam time.
In short, it is celebration time like no other. There are celebratory feasts called Onam Sadya which are served everywhere. House courtyards are decorated with traditional flower arrangements of geometric symbolism called 'Pookalam' is laid in front of every house to welcome the arrival of the beloved king.
There is a surfeit of agrarian festivities comprising of boat races and bull races and carnivals that are held all over Kerala.
The origins of this great festival of Kerala are steeped in history and centres around a powerful king who became too powerful and loved by his subjects. The jealous Gods of the Hindu pantheon saw to an end to this popularity by a cunning design and confined the king into the bowels of the earth. After some relenting, the Gods allowed the King to visit his subjects once a year and it is that which is celebrated in Onam.
Athachamayam is a carnival of sorts that is held in Thripunithra a small town about 10-12 kms away from Cochin.

Mesmo que voce seje o instrutor. Abracose bom fim de semana..
Yellow is known to be the color of knowledge. I hope you are learning
every day. Even if you're your own instructor.
Make it a perfect week..
It had became common knowledge that CP was soon going to park the last of the 6 axle M-Liners by late winter 92, the question was like when and could a group of friends and I get time off and get in some location to shoot them before they were gone. Out of the group I was tasked with making contact with someone at CP and finding a prime location for Big Alco leaders. I knew from prior experience that while scenic, the lines west of Sudbury would often go days without a 4500 or 4700 leading a train by this date. Anyway I just thought what the hell, I'll call CP in Montreal and ask....turned into a fortunate decision. I was soon placed in contact with Ron Robinson who at the time was motive power director for CP east of Winnipeg. Ron was a patient guy and took the time to suggest our trip would be most productive in the Montreal-Windsor corridor. He also gave me a his direct number and a direct line for a motive power director whom he described as "a bit of a railbuff". That turned out to be Bruce Chapman who was instrumental in us getting a large amount of 4500/4700's in the lead on our trip. This is train 2nd 923 blowing through Woodstock Ont with 4706 and 4734 late afternoon of May 6, 1993. The bigs finished out 93 and were retired near Christmas. They then were brought back about 3-4 months later and worked in spring/summer 94 although all the RSC equipment was missing and they were designated "Trailing unit only". They were slowly but surely retired for good as they failed.
