that not-at-all-good feeling when you discover an error that requires taking the needles out and unraveling half of your work so far. but such is learning…
One more from April. One of the eaglets watching and learning how to fly with confidence.
Thanks all for your wonderful comments sent my way from yesterday's post and words. After writing about the eagles in the morning, sharing it on Flickr, we headed out to the eagle's nest. To my surprise and delight, for the first time this year, the Mom and Dad Eagle (Lucy and Ricky) were feeding a newly hatched eaglet or two.
Happy Happy New Year.
“I’m sure the man is becoming slower and more uncertain with every occasion he has to use that picture taking thingy with three legs.” Said Posh Bear smiling as he watched the picture taker set up.
“Yes, Posh, it will be a relief when I don’t do this ever again.” Said Sky.
“Are you going to refuse then, Sky, when he does this next time?” Asked Barnaby in awe.
“No, Barnaby, but I probably won’t be here. I have been talking to Ellie and she was telling me that I should get myself “edicated”. So, that is what I might just do.”
“I think you mean educated, Sky.” Said Posh Bear.
“That as well, I think. I want to be so clever that I can talk to the buzzy things.”
“Anyone can talk to the buzzy things, Sky, it is just a shame they don’t seem to understand what bears say.” Added Bertie, yawning at the thought of all that learning.
“How do you think you are going to do that, Sky? I mean, learn things like talking to buzzy things.” Asked Barnaby.
“It is very easy actually, Barnaby, you just need to know where to go and what sort of things you want to learn.”
“Interesting, so, where do you go, Sky?”
“Ellie says it is a big place lots of walks away and is called a universal, I think, and there you can get all the leans that you want.”
“Wowsers, Sky, that sounds very good. So, you only need to ask them for learns on buzzy things and they give them to you and you come back edicated?” said Barnaby.
“Not quite, Barnaby, but very close. Ellie was saying that this place has lots and lots of learns, so whatever you wanted to learn you just press one of those buttons the man has on his picture viewing thingy and all the learns you want come tumbling down before you. I think.”
“Wowsers and double Wowsers, Sky, that sounds amazing.” Said Bertie getting excited.
“Doesn’t it just.” Replied Posh Bear smiling.
“What do you do with all these learns once you have them, Sky? I mean you can’t just carry them around with you in a bag and if you did, well, how you would find the one you need when you wanted it?” Asked Barnaby scratching his head with his paw. “And, how would you know what you needed if you didn’t know what the learn was about in the first place?”
“Simple, Barnaby, when I get the learns about buzzy things, I’ll also look for a button thingy that shows one how to store them and find them again. These places don’t just have learns about buzzy things; you know?”
“You’re so clever, Sky, I wish I was clever like you.” Said Barnaby full of admiration of his best friend.
“Thank you, Barnaby, and soon I’ll be even more cleverer and then ever cleverer still on top of that.”
“Sky, it doesn’t quite work out like that. I think that Ellie got it slightly wrong.” Said Posh Bear softly.
“What do you mean, Posh? Ellie said she knew.” Replied Sky looking slightly worried.
“The places are called Universities and are for hoomans, not us bears. Also, hoomans are taught what they wish to know by other hoomans called professors who in turn were taught all they know many sleeps before. It isn’t instant, these things take lots and lots of sleeps and is often a total waste of time, because after all that learning the hooman doesn’t put it to use.”
“So, how do us bears get learns, so we can be clever?” Asked Barnaby.
“We use life to learn things, Barnaby, like Sky just now for he has learned a big lesson in who to learn from. Elephants are very clever at elephant things but they don’t understand bear things. If you want to know bear things then you should always ask an older bear.”
Sky looked sad as he thought about what Posh had said but then he quickly brightened up.
“Posh, as an old bear, can you teach me how to speak with the buzzy things please?”
“No Sky, but I can tell you this, watch the buzzy things and learn what they do and then we’ll all be the wiser for what you learn. In the meantime, everyone should try and smile and then we can share that big jar of honey that I have put by, for after the man is finished.”
“Think honey.” Whispered Sky to Bertie and Barnaby and they both forced a smile.
Come ariete immaginario
apro un varco nelle mura.
Abbandono la città;
me ne vado alla ventura.
Cerco isole deserte
dove covano i gabbiani,
là per ore starò inerte
senza l'ansia del domani......

UK designer Thomas Heatherwick masterpiece at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
Resembling a cluster of elongated bee hives, the Learning Hub at Nanyang Technology University explores new ways of teaching at a time when computers and the internet are challenging the rationale of learning institutions.
The hub’s form is dictated by its function, and brings together 55 tutorial rooms into a structure without conventional corridors, which have traditionally created social separation and isolation. The learning hub has no one door, it is porous. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up gradually, with gardens on selected floors.*

Taken with a tilt shift camera to control the vertical distortion, 3 images were stitched together. The 2 students at the bottom of the image forms a focal point in an otherwise empty space.
I'm going insane here!
If anyone knows of a good tutorial on shadows on wall etc please don't hesitate :)))
For MacroMondays theme "Heritage"
Both my parents work with education, my mother is a teacher and my father is a professor at the university, so even though I didn't choose their profession, I've inherited their curiosity about new things.
Didn't know how to make an image about learning, so this pen (and the decoration, which is on the other end of the pen) gets to represent learning. I think making notes or writing essays is part of studying.
Happy MM!

Happy Blue Monday, y'all! :)

Okay I know it's not as puuurdy but I was only on the plane for an hour! I couldn't have expected a sunset in broad daylight. :P

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
Gar nicht so einfach, daher auch nicht ganz scharf ...

My first sunrise trip to the broads was a bit of a learning curve (full story on my blog) but enjoyable nonetheless and has certainly whetted my appetite for more visits.

“People will not always understand you.
Dare to be different.
People will not always believe in you.
Prepare to work harder.
People will not always do right by you.
Let them go.
People will not always love like you.
Keep loving harder.
Nobody’s opinion of you will matter when you know who you are.
Love Thy Self enough to walk in your own light.. down your own path.. and accept that sometimes we grow apart from people.
Sometimes we lose a lot of the people around us because they were only placed in our lives to help teach us something about ourselves.
Be open to learning.
Be welcoming to change.
Find yourself.
Be yourself.
Love yourself.”
