Ein Vertreter der Philosophie oder Religion von Zardoscht (persisch für Zarathustra). Bisher dachte ich bei Persien eher an Ajatollas. Scheint eine sehr menschenfreundliche Weltanschauung zu sein.
A representative of the philosophy or religion of Zardoscht (Persian for Zarathustra). Up to now I thought of Persia more like ayatollas. Seems to be a very philanthropic worldview.

I like to imagine that he is an ancient philosopher who first came up with the pompadour, but it didn't catch on, and his contribution to hair fashion was lost to society until some intrepid world trekking trend-setter discovered his writings in an until-then undisturbed ruin and brought the style to the 1950's.
Antoine Arnauld (6 February 1612 – 8 August 1694) was a French Roman Catholic theologian, philosopher and mathematician. He was one of the leading intellectuals of the Jansenist group of Port-Royal and had a very thorough knowledge of patristics. Contemporaries called him le Grand to distinguish him from his father.

I was shopping for bank medallions recently when eBay recommended one of these bronze medallions. I was quite intrigued by the high-relief, highly-sculpted busts of historic French figures and ended up buying six. One of which is the "Médaillier Français Célèbres XIX siècle" series and the rest are the "Galerie Métallique des Grands Hommes Français" series.
The medallions appear to date from the mid-1810s to the early 1820s.
To my surprise, the two lady medallions are slightly cheaper than the gentlemen, even though they seem rarer.
Past this building many a time and always wanted to photograph it.
It's on private ground but I was granted permission to take these shots under the conditions I wouldn't be selling them. Hence the watermark......I've had images stolen in the past and used. But it's something I've never let worry me too much, if I was trying to make money out of this I would be a little more careful on the quality of the images I post and would put the watermark in a much harder place to clone out.
Any way back to the tower.......it belongs to the Earl of Shaftesbury family. It was thought the 3rd Earl was a philosopher and spent many a time thinking here.
I know I could ponder quite happily here watching the gorgeous sunrises.

I ran into this chap at the village library. I used to pass his garden out walking in the vilalge. Sometimes I would stop and talk as he tended his vegetable patch. Anytime I passed the garden, there was always music playing quietly from the greenhouse, whether anyone was there or not don't know. Depending on what time of day, it might be BBC Radio 2 (light Popular music) or Classic FM. Now he may be just playing what he enjoys when he is outdoors, but I've often passed and seen no one about and still heard music. All I can say is that he gets a bumper crop of tomatoes each year.

A friend of mine, the most smart, friendly and funny guy I've ever known. He might have read all the books on earth and heard about all the possible bullshits in the world too ;-)

A solitary pigeon stands on the cobbled path, appearing lost in deep thought. The melancholic black and white frame, with a blurred park background, invites reflection on its story.
Originally a Christian church and sold to Abraham Ben Ezra (religious scholar & philosopher) in 882 CE during the reign of Ahmad Ibn Tulun 835-884, Emir of Egypt & Syria (r.868-884).
Perhaps the site where the pharaoh’s daughter found Moses in the Nile River, as described in Exodus 2:1-10.
We have passed this pub on many an many an occasion and often wondered about its name. This time I took a photo and 'googled' it on our return home. It has a very interesting history.
For those who wish to know - here you go...........CHEERS!

I was out for a stroll on the pier in Lower Lonsdale with my lovely @joannewhitephotography when we spotted this gentleman relaxing on a bench. He was reading a philosophy book “ ” by Thomas Nagel.
I admired him for how relaxed he was. He’d taken his shoes and socks off, rested his feet on his skateboard and focused on his book. It was a nice cool, peaceful evening, and a perfect place for contemplation.
