I've always loved those evocative misty landscapes of the Pictorialists. Like the early work of Peter Henry Emerson (1856-1936), you'll notice there is very little in this photograph that is in sharp focus. That choice is deliberate. Pictorialism was the photographic equivalent of Impressionism in painting. And although out of fashion for many years, there are plenty of photographers exploring its possibilities today.

Today, the third Thursday in November, World Philosophy Day is celebrated. I will wear the same shirt in RL with the image of Betrand Russell. The pic is taken in the Library of Alexandria, where Hypatia researched, wrote and taught her classes.
SAPERE AUDE!
Tracks vanishing in the mist have a strange symbolism. Like to never take a train to some other world as master Miyazaki had portayed. The train would be full of spooky strangers anyway. Only ghosts could travel to such a mist. And yet, the hope lingers. Or is it a fear of that actually happening one day? To fly away or to become a ghost, there is no difference...
As every year, on the third Thursday of November, we celebrate World Philosophy Day. We are few philosophers and not very well known, but our activity of reflection and teaching of this wonderful discipline is increasingly important in these complicated times we live in.
I personally teach philosophy to young people and it is the most exciting activity I have ever done.
Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant are the great minds that will help us to understand ourselves. Sapere Aude!
Happy World Philosophy Day

Patience Captured by Lens – Waiting for the Goldfish
Through a natural frame of pittosporum leaves, we peer into the quiet world of a summer afternoon on the island. The old fisherman, with his iconic straw hat, sits calmly on the small jetty, his gaze fixed on the surface of the sea. Every detail – from the texture of his hat to the creases on his blue shirt – bears witness to years of experience and love for the sea. Captured in a moment of complete composure, this shot is a testament to the Mediterranean 'laganini' philosophy, where patience is the most important tool. A documentary photograph with a soul.
Strpljenje ulovljeno objektivom – Čekajući zlatnu ribicu
Kroz prirodni okvir od lišća pitospora, virimo u mirni svijet jednog ljetnog popodneva na otoku. Stari ribič, sa svojim prepoznatljivim slamnatim šeširom, mirno sjedi na moliću, uperivši pogled prema površini mora. Svaki detalj – od teksture šešira do nabora na plavoj majici – svjedoči o godinama iskustva i ljubavi prema moru. Uhvaćen u trenutku potpune sabranosti, ovaj kadar je svjedočanstvo o mediteranskoj laganini filozofiji, gdje je strpljenje najvažniji alat. Dokumentarna fotografija s dušom.
"No doubt that lice, ticks, mites, and tapeworms are part of creation, much as we are. But, I'd rather see these at my neighbour's place than here at home"
Oh yeah, it's that stink bug again.... we were chatting for a while a few days ago... and no matter how small the little rascal was, it felt like it was constantly looking down on me.... well, not as a person then but as a human being... as a representative of the idiocy of evolution.. and/or the creator's bizarre humor... and once again it felt like we need to do more to care for our dear planet, our mother Gaia... and it feels like we're on the right track.. NOT!!
Think about how strangely unexpected encounters can make thoughts fly.... Show less

Our Daily Challenge 13-19 October : Your Philosophy
My grandmother gave me this advice and it has stood me in good stead
Athens, sometimes between 412 - 323 BC
(Currently the translation "I am looking for honest man." is being used to make meaning more clear and to avoid possible double meaning.
There's a simple philosophy found among bridge designers: if a crossing deserves to have a bridge, it deserves to have a great bridge.
Bridges represent technology, triumph over adversity, and ingenuity, so they tend to become important landmarks. Among the crossings to proudly boast a great bridge is the San Diego Bay in California, home to the award-winning San Diego-Coronado Bridge (more often simply referred to as the Coronado Bridge).
It took a while for people to decide whether or not the San Diego Bay really needed a bridge, but once they decided that it did, they knew they wanted a great one.
The Coronado Bridge is frequently used as a suicide bridge; as of July 2017, at least 405 suicide deaths by bridge jumpers have occurred on the Coronado, trailing only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as the bridge most-often used for suicide in the United States

Evidence of the 19th century mechanical age is all around inside the Henry Jones Art Hotel. This photo art is constructed by me using multiple exposures. If you enlarge it you can see the detail very clearly. Works like this are designed to be viewed as extremely large prints.
Camera: Leica IIF with the 50mm/3.5 Elmar lens, 1952.
Film: Kodak Portra 160.
Processing: Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia.
The Woolmers Estate was established in 1817 and is a UNESCO listed World Heritage convict site. Given this history I thought it an appropriate place to try out my vintage Leica IIF camera with a roll of 35mm Kodak Portra film.
This view from the grounds of Woolmers Estate looks west towards the Great Western Tiers. In the foreground stands an old wooden windmill. This is exactly the sort of scene that the great Australian Impressionist Tom Roberts (1856-1931) would have loved to paint. In 1928, Roberts married his second wife Jean from Tasmania. After his death, Roberts was buried in the grounds of Christ Church, Illawarra, not far from Woolmers.

Until the philosophy, I will like to divide it with those which want to learn...
Which hold one race
Superior and another, inferior
Is finally, and permanently
Discredited and abandonned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

#1 Believe and it shall be yours.
#2 Where there is hope there can be faith. Where there is faith, miracles can occur.
#3 Hope is desperation. Faith is relaxation.
#4 May we grow beautiful as we grow wise.
#5 The one great thing about life is laughter
#6 How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word. grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.
#7 One of the best tools for longevity and good health is not just taking a walk outdoors, but taking your walk while holding the hand of God. When we walk in gratitude for each and every moment, we empower ourselves by empowering our spirits. When we breathe in nature through our eyes, ears and lips, we become certain that not only are our souls eternal, but that God knows how to manage our lives, our troubles, our worries and our days better than we do. So today and everyday "let go and let God".
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. It argues that if machine brains surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently intelligent machines could improve their own capabilities faster than human computer scientists, and the outcome could be an existential catastrophe for humans.

The gigant tree in Biei has name as "Tree of Philosophy".
It was too famous tree in Japan.
Then the grandeur stunned the people, and many people came to visit there.
But the owner came to puzzled to bad manners of visitors.
Yesterday(24th feb. 2016) this tree has been cut down by owner…

When I took this photo, I wondered whether car and camera had ever met before since they were made, given that they're almost the same age. I know, this question is unlikely to be answered conclusively —and frankly, nobody really cares— but that's what makes street philosophy so appealing, isn't it?
