The theme for Smile on Saturday is"look up to the sky".I have many images as it is my favorite past time but this made me smile.For our wedding anniversary in 2010 I gifted John flying lessons. I had forgotten what a joy it was for him as he took his freedom flight' As I stood on the ground looking up to the sky, , the plane accelerated, beginning to disappear from view. I recall feeling that same joy for him. I hope this makes you smile
The photograph being looked at here is actually very important. Unfortunately the name of the photographer is unknown. It was taken in 1912 and shows a women's life drawing class at the Launceston Technical College where Lucien Dechaineux (1869-1957) had been in charge of the art department. Dechaineux taught composition classes to the Tasmanian photographer Jack Cato. Have a look at this brilliant Cato portrait: searchthecollection.nga.gov.au/object/155474
But we know Cato didn't take this photograph because he was already working in London at the time.

However, the real significance of this photo is, (1) that the artists' model here is actually Lucien Dechaineux, and (2) that it shows Hope Evershed, the first female art teacher at the Launceston Technical College, guiding a group of female students in a lesson.

Little River, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee. Out of a lifting mist the water comes down, flanked and studded with perfect greens. It is pulled on a gradual gradient, and leaves a trail with each step, dragging a memory backward. The life of it's flow should be beautiful, but I find it a little cold, a little remote. Looking at the boulders, strewn and fallen in the flow, I think of my journey downriver. They are like pieces of me, broken off with each disappointment, each betrayal along the way. They stand like lessons learned, remnants of selflessness meets selfishness...bad decisions and weakness. They stand as a lesson to make myself harder, even if I don't want to be, because what is true in nature is not always true in me. But being true litters the streambed, back as far as I can see. If each had a name, they would stand as virtues lost, lessons learned. The perfect greens belie a bittersweet place; I'll leave it's beauty for another time.
Had to post an alternative version of my "Daddy Lessons" picture as I really liked the colours (and felt like it deserved a close-up shot).

Happy Fence Friday!
At the entrance to Thiksey Monastery's main prayer hall, a young monk interprets the Bhavachakra, or Wheel of Life, for a companion. This complex diagram serves as a visual teaching tool, illustrating the six realms of existence and the three poisons—ignorance, anger, and attachment—that drive the cycle of rebirth. The entire wheel is depicted in the clutches of Yama, the Lord of Death, a stark reminder of the impermanence of all things.

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

A slight re-working of an old image with a bit of a story.
My Son, a product of the metric age, asked me for some images that he could get printed for his office. He failed to notice that a lot of printers work in inches and was a little surprised when a rather large tube turned up. I now have a 36x36 inch print to try and frame!

1) have tripod set up already; 2) double-check the aperture (of course it was on 22 instead of 2.8) because things look brighter in-camera; 3) just enjoy watching the lights dance.
glad i did lots of #3!

Took my niece, Nicole to the dry lake near Jean, Nevada for her first driving lesson. It’s a wide open expanse of perfectly flat terrain and a nice place to learn since there is no traffic and no rules. Sot this with a Nikon D800 and the Nikkor 70-300mm lens
These rocks were named the Three Sisters since they look like three young nuns standing together and receiving a lesson from an adult nun. This is always a fun place to shoot night skies - we have some of the darkest skies in the lower 48!
A fun course with Christine Lashley - these are students getting ready for their sailing lesson. Such a busy scene with everyone getting their life jackets ready.
