This metal canopy in the Awen’ art sculpture has a design named wisdom. It is the top layer in the forest canopy as in the ancient trees that have wisdom. The design on the poles are all shadows from sun coming through the metal canopies.
a portrait steeped in quiet reflection and timeless dignity. captured at bar cristal on plaça espanya in palma de mallorca, this moment speaks of stories untold and wisdom gained through the years. the interplay of light and shadow draws you in, while the bustling energy of bar cristal fades into the background. this is more than a photographâitâs a window into a life well-lived.
"One can only face in others what one can face in oneself. On this confrontation depends the measure of our wisdom and compassion"
James Baldwin
Knowledge tells us that Tomato is a Fruit
Wisdom tells us not to put it in a fruit salad.

“The Buddha emphasizes that the best teacher is inside each of us. Within ourselves. That teacher is the spiritual light we all carry inside us. Let this spiritual spark be our teacher.”
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES! 🙏♥️
i’ve been watching the clover bloom in my backyard. by many standards, this is a weed—something unwanted. but i think clover is beautiful. the more i look, the more i see. and this makes me think about people in general. how we, as a culture, box in beauty, intelligence, and worthiness. but if we look more closely, there’s beauty and wisdom in everyone. people can surprise us in interesting ways. when i’m not in a rush, i see differently: instead of boxed-in people, i see imperfect humans doing the best they can in a difficult world. when i’m not in a rush, i see many moments of grace.

“An owl is the wisest of all birds because the more it sees the less it talks.”
― Christie Watson,
According to the Manataka Indian traditions, Grandmother Owl is often thought to come to those who need to let go of some part of their lives that is no longer needed. As a guide, the owl teaches us to see and hear past shadows, beyond fear and darkness, through to the other side that promises light, happiness, and knowledge. As a spirit animal, the owl also guides us to see beyond the veil of deception and illusion; it helps see what’s kept hidden.
This was my only encounter with a great horned (edit correction) owl in my yard. I normally only see great greys or snowy owls. Its big yellow eyes had that all seeing and all knowing intense stare. Shortly after this was taken I parted ways with someone who wore a veil of deception...
Traveling is my thing. I admit that. I love to travel, i wish i could set foot on every country of the world. I strongly believe that traveling is one of the few things that can make you richer without having to pay more taxes! and while taking photos of historic monuments, famous buildings and other touristic sites is something I can do, capturing local people is definitely not my comfort zone. It starts from asking permision to take a photo all the way to actually composing the portrait. It has been a struggle for me and most likely it will stay that way as I don't know how to handle the human factor. This was one of the very very few cases (if not the only) where i felt comfortable taking the photo. That lady was sitting there, enjoying the nature around her. That's where she grew up, these were the olive trees that provided her the means to live her life. behind her it was a small shop full of colorful handmade souvenirs. The owner of the shop was her son. As I was capturing her portrait, i felt like capturing a life full of wisdom. A life full of moments of joy, struggle (as she lives on a poor village in Crete island) and hard work.
Τα ταξιδια ειναι αυτο πουμου αρεσει, το παραδεχοαι. Μακαρι να μπορουσα να επισκεφτω καθε χωρα αυτου του πλανητη. Πιστευω πραγματικα οτι τα ταξιδια ειναι ενα απο τα λιγα πραγματα που μπορουν να σε κανουν πλουσιοτερο χωρις να χρειαζεται να πληρωσεις περισσοτερους φορους! Και ενω το να φωτογραφιζω κτηρια, διασημα μνημεια και τουριστικα αξιοθεατα ειναι κατι που μπορω να κανω, το να φωτογραφιζω ντοπιους ειναι κατι το οποιο μου ειναι πολυ δυσκολο. Δυσκολευομαι απο τα βασικα, οπως το να ζητησω αδεια να παρω μια φωτογραφια μεχρι και το πως να συνθεσω ενα πορτραιτο. Παντα ηταν κατι στο οποιο δεν τα καταφερνα και κατα πασα πιθανοτητα θα μεινει ετσι καθως δεν ξερω πως να διαχειριστω το ανθρωπινο στοιχειο σε μια φωτογραφια. Αυτη εδω ηταν μια απο τις λιγες περιπτωσεις (αν οχι η μονη) που ενιωσα ανετα να τραβηξω τη φωτογραφια. Η κυρια αυτη καθοταν εκει, απολαμβανοντας τη φυση γυρω της. Εκει ηταν που μεγαλωσε, εκει ηταν οι ελιες που της προσεφεραν το βιος. Πισω της ηταν ενα μικρο μαγαζακι με χειροποιητα σουβενιρ. Ο ιδιοκτητης του μαγαζιου ηταν ο γιος της. Καθως τραβουσα τη φωτογραφια, ενιωσα οτι αποτυπωνα μια ζωη γεματη σοφια. Μια ζωη γεματη στιγμες χαρας, δυσκολιων (καθως η κυρια ζει σε ενα φτωχο χωριο στο οροπεδιο λασιθιου) και σκληρης δουλειας

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I am not sure of the wisdom of shooting White Sands in 40mph winds, but I certainly was enthralled with the encounter. The camera was not completely honest; the experience was anything but soft, calm, and restful. I felt an outsider that day. The sands had an agenda all their own, and were keeping their secrets to themselves.
