In crowds, seagulls, like people, seem raucous, greedy, and messy. Alone, they seem much lovelier. It's all in your perspective. Question: Does truth and wisdom come from choosing the right perspective? Or simply from knowing that we chose?

Poem:
One day when lake and sky
flung themselves together at the shore,
midst splash and spray, upon a rock,
a gull stood, thin and pale
against the racing gray.
Bemused, he seemed, and clumsy,
peering down a crooked beak
on tumult at his silly feet-
a clown, a hook-billed shmoo,
a nose thumbed at Creation.
He needed symmetry;
needed grace.
Lord, he needed arms!
Then with a cry into the gale,
he unfurled pure white sails
and Sky called him back home:
he floated lightly on the tempest,
smiling as it howled,
looked casually down on me,
then nodded to the wind.
It whisked him up the shoreline
with the suddenness of magic;
easy as a shadow on a wall
around the bend and gone.

Another of "those" evenings at Wilstone Reservoir, when the light just keeps getting better and the sunset keeps getting nicer. This place is magical to me, it always seems to deliver a nice photo and always cheers me up. Suffice to say I ended up walking the two miles home in near darkness. Thank luck for head torches.

Jefferson City, MO. Aetna Rokunar 24mm lens - cheap lens - extremely soft wide open - and I love it.

This week’s theme, though a few days late, is perspective. This photograph is of my friends fooling around at a swim meet, from the perspective of my friend Alec.
FOH service station runs the length of the dining room. Not only will it be well equipped, but the design is impressive. More can be found here: eater.com/archives/2012/10/03/curtis-duffys-grace-behind-...
Incredible. I'm sure drool-worthy to those working in industry (esp fine dining establishments).
Perspective, often called wisdom, is the ability to take stock of life in the bigger picture. It is the product of knowledge and life experiences, but it is more than the accumulation
of information: perspective is the coordination of this information and its deliberate use to improve well-being. In a social context perspective allows one to listen to others, to evaluate what they say, and then to offer good advice. Perspective entails the acquisition and use of knowledge. Thus, wise people have expert knowledge about what really matters, and they know how to plan and manage it. They possess knowledge about procedures, as well as feelings and values, and can balance this knowledge with the situation, knowing that what is wise in one situation may be foolish in another. Those with perspective can address important and difficult questions about conduct and meaning for the good of all involved. They also tend to possess strong self-knowledge. They bring both feeling and rationality into decisions and have a wide-angle view of life’s patterns in relationships and life’s meaning. Wise people take the needs of others into consideration and understand their own limitations. They see into the heart of problems and frequently are sought out for advice.
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
- Pablo Picasso
