Yesterday I went to a place that I go often to just relax more so than other coffee shops and also to see a friend who I have worked with for about the last 5 months. Wisdom Tea House in monument is one of the best places to go for a great afternoon of tea and great food. If you are ever in Monument, Colorado and have the chance to, check it out and I highly doubt you will be disappointed in your experience.

There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. ~Winston Churchill
First time I've entered Macro Mondays.
Was thinking at work today what I could, then suddenly realised working at a University, that I was at a place of Wisdom.
When I got home this evening I dug out the degree, and took this.

A haiku question
Is it wise to seek wisdom?
Ask someone who knows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seek and you shall find
ask and it will be given
those who are wise know

I'm in a CZJ Biometar mood. What a great lens for close up work and bokeh!
This photo is scanned with Vuescan, because my Silverfast is letting me down after the last upgrade. Vuescan takes some getting used to, as you may notice by the low-fi appearance of this image. However, the effect is quite pleasing to my eyes, so I'll share some of the Vuescanned pictures with you.

A 2001 Bergdorf Goodman holiday window display in its Virtues series.
My skills (and equipment) have improved a lot since 2001, but I came across these again recently and wanted to post them for historical purposes.
Selfportrait 51/365 and my contribution for this weeks fotosondag.
Fria vidder och fåglar symboliserar, för mig, att jag har chansen att välja vilka vägar jag vill vandra (= njuta av livet till fullo). Porträttet ovan blir därför mitt bidag till veckans tema livsnjutning.
Sculpted by Lee Lawrie, the imposing low-relief panel, Wisdom, was insalled over the entrance to the main building of Rockefeller Center,30 Rockefeller Plaza. The 37 foot high art deco icon can be clearly seen from Fifth Avenue. In addition to scale, Lawrie relied on mass, color, gilding and two different materials to create his piece.
The top piece, 22'x14' of Indiana limestone, depicts a figure set at an angular slant, thrusting out towards the spectator from a vast, swelling of clouds around his naked body. With furrowed brown and golden rays crowning his head, his left hand shoves away the "clouds of ignorance" and his right clutches a golden compass theat measures the cosmic forces swirling in 15'x55 glass screen below. His long beard, symbolizing experience, is blown back by sheer force of that which surrounds him. Below the figure reads the Biblical passage,"Wisdom and Knowledge Shall Be the Stability of Thy Times" (Isaiah 33:6).
Wisdom is flanked on either side by Sound and Light, and was the first exterior piece in the Center to be painted and gilded.
German-born Lee Lawrie was well known as an architectural sculptor. His work can be found at St. Thomas Church and throughout Rockefeller Center: Winged Mercury and Heraldic Lions at the British Empire Building; Fleur-de-lis and Seeds of Good Citizenship at La Maison Française; Progress at One Rockefeller Plaza; The Story of Mankind, Saint Francis of Assisi, Swords into Plowshares, Columbia Greeting a Woman, Boatman, Fourteen coats of Arms, Corncucopia of Plenty, and most famously, Atlas at the International building.
Rockefeller Center was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1985.
In 2007, Rockefeller Center was ranked #56 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
Rockefeller Center National Register #87002591

I had only one chance to shoot this old man who was walking by. Luckily the expression
and focus turned out even better than I hoped.

I got a consultation done for my wisdom teeth today and I'm quite nervous now. Normally dental procedures fascinate me, but oh...my...gawd...y'all. The orthodontist said that my right bottom wisdom tooth's root is very, very close to a nerve. If it gets severed, then my chin and lip could possibly get permanently numb. PERMANENTLY NUMB. :/

Yes, that is Jada Pinkett-Smith and yes, she does front a metal band.
