However, Hillel’s greatest legacy was neither his assiduous commitment to study nor his warm personality, but his forceful intellect, which directed Judaism toward the goal of *tikkun olam, the ethical bettering (literally, perfecting) of the world. In the most famous tale told about Hillel, a non-Jew approaches and asks Hillel to convert him to Judaism on the condition that he can define Judaism’s essence while standing on one foot. “What is hateful unto you do not do unto your neighbor,” Hillel responds. “The rest is commentary—now go and study” (Shabbat 31a).

Various shooting ranges sit on a hillside northeast of Bakersfield, The range advertises over 200 acs of shooting rranges. The range lies hogbacks and strike valley in the Sierra Nevada Foothills.
I like the different cloud shapes and types at the various levels in the sky, from dark and ominous down low to quite decent up high.
Various plants in the arboretum in Rogów. It's nice to walk there among this greenery :)
The Rogów Arboretum, established in 1925, is the Station of Protection and Shaping of Forest Ecosystems. It covers an area of 54 ha and is of an exceptional character as compared with other centers of the type in Poland or Europe, because it has been built from the very beginning as a research – didactic object and, moreover, it was located in the forest and has been tightly connected with the forest experimental study from the moment of its origin. The Arboretum consists of three basic parts: the dendrological collections (about 22 ha), the forest experimental plots (about 18 ha) and the alpine garden (1.5 ha).
The dendrological collections that is tree and shrub individuals planted either separately or in groups or small area forms, are mainly concentrated in the central and southern part of the Arboretum, covering a total of 2350 species and varieties. The Arboretum’s specialty is its collection of maples and shrubs from China. This segment is managed naturally, having the look of more a forest park than a typical botanical garden. The trees give the shelter and the proper microclimate for the introduced trees and shrubs.

Bujna roślinność w arboretum w Rogowie. Miło tak spacerować tam wśród zieleni :)
Arboretum w Rogowie – należy do grupy najcenniejszych, najbogatszych w gatunki i odmiany drzew i krzewów tego typu ogrodów w Europie. Położony jest w dawnym siedlisku leśym i ma charakter parku leśnego. Od początku istnienia (1925 r.) podlega pod Wydział Leśny SGGW. Na jego obszarze znajdują się jedne z najbogatszych i najciekawszych kolekcji drzew i krzewów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Najchetniej odwiedzanym miejscem w ogrodzie jest alpinarium. Oprócz wyniesionych na 2 m ponad poziom gruntu skalniaków, założono tu ciąg strumyków, kilka oczek wodnych i 5-arowy staw z wyspą. W rogowskim alpinarium można obejrzeć ponad 400 gatunków i odmian roślin, pochodzących z gór całego świata. W większości są to byliny, ale nie tylko. Rosną tu także krzewy i drzewa terenów górzystych, np. majestatyczne świerki serbskie, kształtne limby czy srebrzyste jodły kalifornijskie.

All the seasonal feels are present in Northeast Mississippi - of all places - in the week leading up to Christmas. 4 geeps of various flavors power this southbound monster out of Corinth. The West Tennessee RR has added a healthy cut of hoppers to the normally large Artesia Sub turn. This Wednesday version of the turn has just finished working the north end of Booneville and is passing the former depot in town. Holiday lights adorn the main overpass in downtown as the big celebration is only 5 more days away. It seemed like every town had their own flavor of how to celebrate Christmas, and surprisingly made me feel in touch with the season. Simple light displays, to full on corporate Coca-Cola backed productions in Corinth - everyone had a little bit of something to remind your December 25th was quickly approaching.
I photographed Mt. Fuji from the roof of a nearby supermarket. The weather was not good, it was cloudy. Unlike the weather, shopping at supermarkets was a lot of enjoy. Shopping will be stress relief.
Here are some various figures in have been working on

Just trying out a few things with macros both shooting and processing, from my backyard. I'm getting a 56mm lens later this week, which is sort of a specialty lens (Lensbaby) which I hope to experiment with a bit, including with macros. It's a totally manual lens, meaning there is no communication between the lens and camera (and it's lot cheaper too)! One of the macros I used on some of these images is a manual lens as well - the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X macro. It's pretty cool!
Tide in at Rainham Marshes yesterday so the birds chose to sit it out on the scrape. Love the size comparison between Canada goose, black-t-godwits, lapwing and at the back curlew.
of St. Peters Harbour Lighthouse on the northern side of Prince Edwards Island, Canada was originally built in the late 1800s in one of PEI's original French settlements. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 2008. The lighthouse now looks in danger of washing away to sea if some way to save it isn't found soon.

"The St. Peters Harbour Lighthouse is a simple but well executed example of a square, tapered, wooden tower, with a superimposed gallery. This 10.4 metre tower has an atypical hexagonal lantern."
