By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

A hard to translate Dutch saying, scratched into to the walls of the Antwerp academy. "Shards bring happiness" means something like "As easy it is to break glass, so hard it is to break marriage".

Today, I totally stole this idea from a much cooler shot from Scott, but I told him so I think its okay...haha
This was actually pretty tough to get the piece falling like this, but I caught it about 4 times and just went with this one. Had to rush just a little bit, the Dolphins are beating Alya's Patriots right now and we are a house divided...haha
Anywho.... Enjoy. Hope I made you proud Scott. Nice topic today.

Recently I had the honor to photograph a man who will be a hundred years old in a couple of weeks... Hands have always fascinated me. This picture was living in my mind for a long time, ever since I planned these important images for the different family generations.

“Wisdom”
Patriarch Grove, the northernmost end of the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, is set at 11,000 feet and is home to the highest elevation bristlecone pines in the world. Due to its high elevation, the bristlecones here are much younger than the trees located in other parts of the forest (the bristlecones slowly migrated higher in elevation with the receding of ice coverage following the last ice age). But the windswept environment has sculpted many of these trees into much more fantastic formations than many of the other trees in the forest.
I made this image in June 2018 and was not happy enough with the colors to have shared before now. Perhaps the overwhelming number of star trails images being shared that conform to a certain new style popularized by Aussie photographer Lincoln Harrison might have been the reason. There is nothing wrong with this style but a lot of folks have started to copy it which makes it a bit stale.
180 exposures went into this and there were a lot of airplanes flying through which made post processing painful.
This place is truly one of a kind and takes you back in time with all those trees predating several religions, countries and cultures around you reminding us of our sheer insignificance.

Wisdom Path is a little known tourist attraction on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The 260 word prayer is on 38 wooden rectangular beams. The beams are in the shape of a figure eight to represent infinity. If anyone knows how to read Chinese, please tell me what that says : )
