Crossed through many rivers, creeks and stream, the landscape continuously changed as we continued our journey from Talkeetna to Denali. This region has some really impressive, grand landscapes #Canon #Landscape #Denali
This is the view on the other side of the same place as in the previous photo. Quite an iconic view. I loved it there, so many interesting angles to play around. That day we had to learn that in Iceland you have to be extra careful at all times, as one guy lost his camera in a wave, and another one fell twice by hopping on the rocks like a bunny. Luckily nobody got seriously hurt. Really wish I can come back there someday...
The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.

Barred Owl on an early morning walk in the woods.
I've wondered if owls are actually as wise as they're reputed to be .... apparently not! It's quite easy to train a surprising array of wild birds (including my good friends, Harry, the heron and Sally, the egret) to respond to a certain food stimulus, but not owls.
Apparently, as with people, we think they're wise because they look smart. It's their eyes ... an owl's eyes are enormous compared to the size of its head. In humans, large pupils are equated with focusing and attention being paid. An owl's eyes are also fixed in its head. In order for an owl to move its eyes, it must move the whole head which gives an owl an intelligent gaze as it scans the surroundings.
Perhaps the earliest known link between owls and wisdom is their association with Athena. The Greek goddess of wisdom is often depicted holding an owl. Because of their close kinship with the night, owls are also associated with magic and witchcraft. Merlin was known to have an owl, and in the Harry Potter series, young wizards communicate by owl messengers instead of instant messengers. Nice trade off...:-)
Say to wisdom:
“You are my sister”; and may you call understanding itself “Kinswoman,” Proverbs 7:4. I find it interesting that the Good Book refers to wisdom as a woman. I tell you true, I strive to be that woman. Oh, I found these pretty little flowers while hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains.

“Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.” – Stephen R. Covey
Finding a large enough stick always seems to help get one’s life balanced, and if not it can make a big splash.
Lao Tzu XLVII
Without going outside, you may know the whole world.
Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The farther you go, the less you know.
Thus the sage knows without travelling;
He sees without looking;
He works without doing.
Old wisdom written by jesuit monniks in Valenciennes

So much for "Enjoy our beer responsibly."

Veteran SGT Raymond McClintoch shares some wisdom P-I Mike Kranston, a boot in the Rampart division. The boot has no one to ride with tonight so he's stuck with the SGT for morning watch.

"You're riding with me tonight. You will drive. I want our windows down and the AC on full blast. Drive smooth, not fast. Smooth is fast. Fast is not smooth. I take my coffee black and you will buy tonight's fill. Take the job seriously, don't take yourself seriously. If another officer needs backup, you drop anything you're doing and go--no hesitation and we drive balls to the walls to get there. Watch your six, have my back and don't talk during the tour unless it's about the situation we are going to. Got it?"
