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.
The reading room originally had 38 desks in the centre, arranged in two rows, to which the valuable codices were chained according to subject matter.[note 34] Between the windows were imaginary portraits of great men of Antiquity, the 'philosophers', each originally accompanied by an identifying inscription.[136] Similar portraits were located in the vestibule. Over time, however, these paintings were moved to various locations within the library and eventually, in 1763, to the Doge's Palace in order to create the wall space necessary for more bookshelves.[137] As a result, some were lost along with all of the identifying inscriptions. The ten that survive were returned to the library in the early nineteenth century and integrated with other paintings in 1929.[124] Of the 'philosophers', only Diogenes by Tintoretto has been credibly identified.[138][note 35]
circular painting in set in gilded ceiling
Battista Franco, Actaeon and Diana and grotesques
The ceiling of the reading room is decorated with 21 roundels, circular oil paintings, by Giovanni de Mio, Giuseppe Salviati, Battista Franco, Giulio Licinio, Bernardo Strozzi, Giambattista Zelotti, Alessandro Varotari, Paolo Veronese, and Andrea Schiavone. They are inserted into a gilded and painted wooden framework along with 52 grotesques by Battista Franco.[139] The roundels by Bernardo Strozzi and Alessandro Varotari are replacements from 1635 of earlier roundels, respectively by Giulio Licinio and Giambattista Zelotti, which were irreparably damaged by water infiltrations.[140] The original roundels were commissioned in 1556.[note 36]
Although the original seven artists were formally chosen by Sansovino and Titian,[122] their selection for an official and prestigious commission such as the library was indicative of the ascendancy of the Grimani and of those other families within the aristocracy who maintained close ties with the papal court and whose artistic preferences consequently tended towards Mannerism as it was developing in Tuscany, Emilia, and Rome.[141][142] The artists were mostly young and innovative. They were primarily foreign-trained and substantially outside the Venetian tradition in their artistic styles, having been influenced by the trends in Florence, Rome, Mantua, and Parma, particularly by the work of Michelangelo, Giulio Romano, and Parmigianino. To varying degrees, the roundels that they produced for the ceiling of the reading room are consequently characterized by the emphasis on line drawing, the greater sculptural rigidity and artificial poses of the figures, and the overall dramatic compositions. They nevertheless show the influence of the Venetian painting tradition in both the colouring and brushwork. ( Wikipedia ) --- --- --- It is rare to find the room this empty as it is usually filled with special temporay exhibits.
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.

A great tree,...
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!....

A closer look at the Roman fresco (circa 1-50 AD)
The seated man is identified as a cynic philosopher; he has bare feet, as well as unkempt beard and clothing. He is depicted in conversation/discussion with a woman, possibly a courtesan. Some scholars have speculated that this might be a painting of Socrates and Diotima.

I was able to accept a red diamond as a stand-in for the Philosopher's Stone, but the crystal used in the Diagon Alley set is just ridiculous.
Ambulans Tolle philosophus .
Harmonias abstinentibus crudelitatis primitiva fabulas ,
fanaticorum deliria sacrificia fieri ,
quod communicant in cordibus stupebunt,
skepticism ut paradoxa facit mysteria flectere ,
cum signa contrariam satus super,
coepit benigniorem tuus contemptionem ostendunt ?
Cuius minimum gustum elit ,
Præcipitabit mortem tuam avertis inconcinnus doctrina ?
Finge hæsitationibus tuum sicut INDIFFERENS ora tumescere
indifferentiam intellectualiter periculosum general suus tenuit ,
propter venias ad obediendum GREGARIUS singuli quaerentes ,
jam tenaces philosophizers nolentes audire ,
ridiculum sententia tua pereas verbis subtilius hinc ,
haec TUMOROSUS ones designare obligando cessantibus oculo pietatis ,
Hactenus principia superfluo systematice irridebant values ,
derangement temperamenta ornare impatienter profundum abyssi ,
Dubius aures oratione opponit male,
Philosophus de facto indignatus explicationes apparet ,
Satis fucata haec sunt gradus ,
ambulare a repudium monstra furorem scholis ,
quibus animalium non vivere stridor dentium.

The Walk follows a cherry tree lined canal in Kyoto. It is so-named because a philosophy professor used it for his daily walk.

Can you help in a dermination ? I have strange amazing stones, I think they must be somewhat related to galena, but in a rare form ... limonite goethite pseudomorphs of galena with a path on marcassite pyrite ... is that possible ? some have the same core colour as a marcassite inside, but the outside is crystallised in galena forms ... ! they are find in limestone (old ocean 150 000 000 years old, fossil are commonly found) They are brownish red to black and rarely oxidised pyrite colour when freshly extracted from the broken calcareous stones.

Took this photo, using a Contax 60mm F/2.8 Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* MM C/Y Mount Lens on my K5 (thanks to the Multi-mount PK+MM for Pentax weather sealed DSLR). (pict is processed and cropped.)
I use these great Carl Zeiss lenses : Distagon* 35mmF2.8 ; Sonnar* 135mmF2.8 ; a Planar* 50mmF1.4, and Makro-Planar 60mm F/2.8 on my Pentax K-5 thanks to this system !
