It's a detail of the interior of the public broadcasting centre Villa VPRO.
And I asked for suggestion for a title, I got several:
- Geometry enlightenment
- Accidental geometry
- Light Flight
- The unlit light
- Checkerboard asymmetry
- How many men does it take to change a light bulb?
- Interrogation room
Thanks again!!!
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!

View of the chancel of the Garnison Church of St Martin in Dresden. It was built between 1893 and 1900 and was once a military town for the Saxon army. Originally there were two separate church rooms, divided into a Roman Catholic and a Protestant part. Today, however, only the Roman Catholic part is used for religious purposes.
On my last visit to the church, I was impressed by the incidence of light in the chancel, and I am happy to share this photo with you.
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU !
"Enlightenment is like everyday consciousness but two inches above the ground."
Quote - D.T. Suzuki
In the surroundings walls of the D.T. Suzuki Museum (鈴木大拙館, Suzuki Daisetsu Kan), Kanazawa, Japan, there are a few gaps, like this one, where you still can see the Water Mirror Garden.
The nicely shaped fountain (I think…..) stands in the small Roji Garden of the museum.
All around, baby, you can see
You're making your own reality everyday because
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
(Van Morrison - Enlightenment)
Being in Mid Winter my crepe myrtles have dropped all of their leaves The other day I noticed the sun shining on this web which was encasing the tip of this branch and was struck with how pretty it looked. I went inside a grabbed my camera, focused on the dead leaves and was surprised at how much bokeh I retained even at f/11.
Blau für dich. Vergiss mein nicht.

A little light in the dark can be helpful – should not be forgotten :-) I wish all those suffering from the desease some light and not to be forgotten. And I hope a smile lights up your face – maybe that helps a little bit too.
I wish everyone a nice weekend and a happy SoS!

Etwas Licht im Dunkeln kann vielleicht hilfreich sein – sollte man nicht vergessen. Etwas Licht und ein Nicht-Vergessen wünsche ich allen Betroffenen. Und ich hoffe, ein Lächeln leuchtet im Gesicht – das hilft vielleicht auch ein ganz klein wenig.
Ich wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende und einen glücklichen SoS!
Gewidmet dem Tag "ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day" on May 12.

I've crossed deserts for miles
Swam water for time
Searching places to find
A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming)
A piece of something to call mine (I'm coming)
Coming closer to you
Ran along many moors
Walked through many doors
The place where I want to be
Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)
Is the place I can call mine (I'm coming)
Coming closer to you

Enlightenment Now: The case for Reason, Science, Humanism and Progress. Steven Pinker, 2018

Buddha once said, all pain and suffering is due to our attachment to this world.
I say, be like the beautiful Lotus that rises above the murk of the filthy waters of this world - detached but not of this world.
An endless pursuit to enlightenment, we are a constant work in progress

A lonely Cyclamen flower, surrounded by wet green grass, welcomes the splendid sun rays through the woods canopy. Another day in Earth paradise...
Deep in the forest, there is a astonishing light...
... so I stand with joy & gratitude before you and can say heaven is a place on earth.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
—Chief Tecumseh
What a wonderful world, full of beauty and grace

The dazzling sun shines, illuminating the old chapel on a hill strewn with rocks. We can only get here by walking on an uphill path, since there is no carriage road. The stunning view compensates us, while the surrounding landscape radiates an incomparable sense of calm.

"Ignoramus et ignorabimus" (e.h. du Bois-reymond). In the short term, it may be due to the bounded rationality that this statement applies. But in the medium term to long term, I think, as a friend of the Enlightenment ("Sapere Aude"! - Dare to Be Wise! "(I. Kant)) and science, that many things can be rational and scientifically explained. For the unclear things, it needs still some time until they can be scientifically explained in the future.
This picture is part of an exhibition that I have been working on for the past months, I have done 8 pictures of Lighthouses that are Exhibited at FOCUS Gallery.

Enlightenment:
Insightful and open-minded. You are able to see the world with great clarity, without attachment to preconceived ideas about people, places, and things. This enables you to observe the world without jumping to conclusions.

This is a pottery oil lamp, the base shown here is 3-7/8 inch by 2-5/8 inch or 99mm by 67mm. It is all about the eyes.
Just beyond the Seehof Castle grounds at Memmelsdorf, Germany. The imposing central building of this dairy farm (Schweizerei) was built in 1782 for Franz Ludwig von Erthal (1779-1795), prince-bishop of Bamberg. He was an Enlightenment prince who is known for building hospitals instead of castles. [DSCF2615_lr_2000]
