The Greek philosopher Metrodorus.
In the background can be seen the bust of Polemon (Ī ĪæĪ»ĪĪ¼ĻĪ½), a master of rhetoric, favored by several Roman Emperors.
National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Athens, Greece.
Parian marble. Found in Athens. Metrodorus of Lampsacus in Asia Minor (c. 331 ā 278 B.C.) was a pupil and friend of the philosopher Epicurus. The bust is a copy dating from the period of Hadrian (A.D. 117-138) of a Hellenistic original dated probably 280-250 B.C.
Metrodorus of Lampsacus (ĪĪ·ĻĻĻĪ“ĻĻĪæĻ Īæ ĪĪ±Ī¼ĻĪ±ĪŗĪ·Ī½ĻĻ) was one of the four ĪŗĪ±ĪøĪ·Ī³ĪµĪ¼ĻĪ½ĪµĻ (āfoundersā) of Epicureanism, and the most important after Epicurus; Epicurus dedicated to him his Eurylochus and his Metrodorus, besides writing letters to him and mentioning him often in his works. Philodemus, a Greek poet and Epicurean philosopher who did much to spread Epicureanism to Rome, cites Metrodorus as the author of the view that Cynic poverty was to be rejected in favour of a more affluent way of life, although wealth in no way contributes to happiness.

āItās not necessary to try to save Greece or to get from her crowns of wisdom; what is needed is to eat and to drink, Timocrates, without harming the belly while we bring it joyā. ā Metrodorusā Epistle to Timocrates.
āAs you grow old you are such as I urge you to be, and you have recognized the difference between studying philosophy for yourself and studying it for Greece. I rejoice with youā. ā Vatican Saying 76
āBesides, they would not buy for a penny the lot of all the virtues (if theyāre) cut off from pleasureā. ā Metrodorusā Epistle to Timocrates.
We have been and about today looking for suitable Oilseed Rape subject matters and the tower seemed a good place to start.
The folly was built in around 1700, by the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury who was a noted philosopher. It is thought that he did a lot of his philosophising in this tower, and from this suggestion it has become known as the Philosopher's Tower. We also visited a nearby barn which seems to have become a celebrity on Flickr as I have seen quite a few shots of it after doing a Flickr search and at least one of my contacts photographed it today too!

View from San Rocco - Ruta
At the end of XIX century, German writer and philosopher Friedric Nietzsche, lived in the hamlet of Ruta where he composed his work āThe Gay Scienceā.
Un soir, en allant m'occuper du Monsieur Chat de mon meilleur ami (en attendant son retour donc), le ciel se pare de nombreuses et somptueuses couleurs : des rouges, des oranges, des jaunes, des bleus, des roses... et des violets !
En passant du cĆ“tĆ© du LycĆ©e Alain, le moment me semble particuliĆØrement adaptĆ© Ć une photo, en passant (justement)...
La circulation aura le bon goĆ»t de n'ĆŖtre pas trop envahissante malgrĆ© l'heure de pointe qui se termine et cet axe qui est assez passant...
Perched on a wooden rail with its tail curled like a question mark, this squirrel stares into the middle distance, pondering lifeās deepest mysteries:
- Where did I bury that acorn?
- Why do humans wear pants?
- Is the fence real, or just a metaphor?
Captured in glorious detail, this furry existentialist radiates the energy of someone whoās about to start a podcast called āNuts & Thoughts.ā The background blurs, the fur pops, and the vibe?
Pure woodland wisdom meets backyard drama.
Some say itās waiting for a snack. Others believe itās silently judging your camera settings. But one thingās for sure, this squirrel didnāt come to play. It came to reflect, reject, and possibly redirect your entire life path.

"Ć vegetariana o vegana solo una percentuale bassa della popolazione italiana (circa lā8%), ma lāultimo rapporto dellāIPCC (Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change) ĆØ molto chiaro nel sollecitare la popolazione mondiale āa favore di diete che implicano un minor uso di risorse.ā Secondo il rapporto, un deciso cambiamento delle nostre diete in senso vegetariano potrebbe liberare milioni di chilometri quadrati dallo sfruttamento intensivo, riducendo le emissioni di CO2 fino a sei miliardi di tonnellate lāanno rispetto ai livelli attuali.
Ma chi sceglie di diventare vegetariano o vegano non lo fa per un astratto amore verso lāambiente o per il futuro dellāumanitĆ , quanto piuttosto per la raggiunta consapevolezza della simile sensibilitĆ delle altre specie con la nostra, e del pari diritto alla vita. Eā del 1975 il saggio del filosofo Peter Singer āLiberazione animaleā, un testo fondamentale dellāanimalismo e dellāanti-specismo.
Ho fotografato alcuni miei amici vegetariani o vegani."
"Only a low percentage of the Italian population is vegetarian or vegan (about 8%), but the latest report by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is very clear in urging the world population" in favor of diets that involve less use of resources. " According to the report, a decisive change in our diets in the vegetarian sense could free millions of square kilometers from intensive exploitation, reducing CO2 emissions by up to six billion tons per year compared to current levels.
But those who choose to become vegetarian or vegan do not do so for an abstract love for the environment or for the future of humanity, but rather for the awareness of the similar sensitivity of the other species to ours, and of the equal right to life. 1975 was the essay by the philosopher Peter Singer "Animal Liberation", a fundamental text of animalism and anti-speciesism.
I photographed some of my vegetarian or vegan friends. "

Back from our wonderful visit to Tasmania's west coast wilderness, southern Tarkine and Corinna rain forest.
Lacock Abbey in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire, England, was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. The abbey remained a nunnery until the suppression of Roman Catholic institutions in England in the 16th century; it was then sold to Sir William Sharington who converted the convent into a residence where he and his family lived. It was fortified and remained loyal to the crown during the English Civil War, but surrendered to the Parliamentary forces once Devizes had fallen in 1645.
Some interior sequences in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) were filmed at Lacock, including the cloister walk where Harry discovers the Mirror of Erised and when he comes out from Professor Lockhart's room after serving detention and hears the basilisk. Scenes from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) were also shot here.

Poised on the rocks like itās pondering the mysteries of the universeāor just wondering where all the fish wentāthis heron stares into the water with the intensity of a bird deep in thought. Its bluish-gray feathers ripple in the breeze, adding dramatic flair to an already theatrical pose. The little plant beside it? Probably its life coach. The ripples? Just natureās way of saying, āYouāre doing great, sweetie.ā This full-color photo captures the quiet comedy of a bird whoās clearly overthinking everything.
My latest photography is now available for purchase at crsimages.pixels.com/, featuring prints, framed art, and more from my curated collectionsāthough this one might be just for those who appreciate feathered introspection.
Stein der Weisen
Diesen, von Schattenlinien verzauberten Stein, sah ich in Twyfelfontein, eine der bedeutendsten FundstƤtten von Felsgravuren.
The mausoleum is to honour of the hero Pahlavon Mahmud, writer, philosopher and fighter who has become a patron saint of Chiwa. After the legend he helped the Indian ruler, and to recompense him, he asked what he wants as a present. He asked to release his fellow citizens in the prison so many as possible who could contain a cowhide. This was accepted, but he cut it in thin pieces to receive a very long belt which saved a big number of them.
The mausoleum comes from 1362, however, was rebuilt in 19. and in 1913 to be converted into the mausoleum of the Khan family. The room is in the Persian style with a turquoise-coloured dome in which the grave of the Khan Mohammed Rakhim is accommodated. In another space there is the tomb of Pahlavon Mahmud, decorates with tiles.

The exit from this pandemic seems endless. In any case "Panta Rei" "and I rely on Heraclitus with confidence....
