This is one of the best preserved A&P stores that I've found in a while. SuperFresh moved to a newer location 20 years ago to a newer shopping center on the north end of town.

From Saving the world from war to eating a good meal, anything could be his thought in that particular moment. No chance of knowing for sure.
Waist level shot.
North wing of the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto; behind this door is the Philosopher's Gallery event space. This is the original 1914 building designed by the firm Darling and Pearson. Intruding on it is the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal designed by Daniel Libeskind and opened in 2007.
‘This item is likely to increase in value as the years pass….’ it says on the box. lol. Gift shopping at QAG.

Wer strebend sich bemüht, den können wir erlösen.
J.W.v.Goethe (Faust II)
While walking around a park that I had newly discovered, I found this elderly gentleman. He was sitting on some rocks bordering the river, hunched over and intently writing something, while a group of fishermen chatted happily not too far in front of him. I could see that he was an observer of the Jewish faith and, as this was taken on a Saturday (the Sabbath), I presume that he was engaged in some religious reflection.
The shot might have been interesting with everything visible, but I knew that the lighting would make that difficult. I figured that a silhouette shot might work nicely here. Exposure metering was locked on the water. The only thing that I would redo about this shot would be to close down the aperture - the shallow depth of field isn't really necessary when dealing with silhouettes, in my opinion.

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.
I took philosophy in university, loved the course, Socrates was one of my favourites.

Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary. ~Patrick F. McManus
Pelicans look like old Philosophers to me. The have such a serious look on their faces and the way the flock together, makes me think that they are busy with some very serious discussion.
This one was shot at the Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata.
The zoo is in a pathetically bad shape today, with only a few creatures left for people to see. But I like going back to this place every winter to see the migratory birds that come. Sad thing is that, with pollution increasing day by day, the number of the birds flying in is decreasing very rapidly.

Conceptions of God vary widely. Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization. The Abrahamic conceptions of God include the trinitarian view of Christians, the Kabbalistic definition of Jewish mysticism, and the Islamic concept of God. The dharmic religions differ in their view of the divine: views of God in Hinduism vary by region, sect, and caste from monotheistic to polytheistic; the view of God in Buddhism is almost non-theist. In modern times, some more abstract concepts have been developed, such as process theology and open theism. Conceptions of God held by individual believers vary so widely that there is no clear consensus on the nature of God.[7] The contemporaneous French philosopher Michel Henry has however proposed a phenomenological approach and definition of God as phenomenological essence of Life.

He might even be a poet....
Le philosophe dit:
Amis, allez voir le poète,...
Et le poète raconte,...:
Qui a su aimer la Terre,..
a aimé,...L'éternité!....
