Demonstration on Plaza Mayor in central Madrid. We just happened to be there as innocent bystanders. Lots of people seemed to be unhappy about something, but the whole event was very civil and organized. My Spanish friends will undoubtedly recognize the flags. My knowledge about the event is scanty enough so that I will not try to say more for fear of misrepresenting facts.
“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
― Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
Il Polesine si identifica con la provincia di Rovigo, zona situata tra il basso corso dei fiumi Adige e Po, ai quali la sua storia è legata in modo indissolubile.
Il Polesine è infatti terra d’acque, di paesaggi sognanti e di atmosfere infinite, straordinario palcoscenico naturale, dove l’acqua si muove maestosa, tra golene, isole sabbiose, e il Po, con il suo delta, arriva placido al mare attraverso un labirinto di acque e canneti, paradiso per una fauna variegata.

1598
Muore Alfonso II, ultimo duca degli Estensi e i territori del Ducato di Ferrara passano allo Stato Pontificio. Nel frattempo il Delta del Po avanzava verso nord con rami di Tramontana, di Levante e di Scirocco.
Il Po di Tramontana, in particolare, cominciò con i suoi sedimenti ad alzare i fondali della laguna verso Chioggia.
1600-1604
Per timore che l'espansione a Nord-Est del Delta andasse ad interrare la laguna di Venezia, agli inizi del 1600 il Po fu deviato a sud verso la Sacca di Goro con un canale artificiale che è il suo letto attuale. Questo intervento detto "Taglio di Porto Viro", determinò l'inizio della formazione del Delta moderno.
Il vecchio letto divenne un canale navigabile, il Canal Bianco-Po di Levante. Se prima del 1600 il Delta si espandeva di circa 53 ettari l'anno, dal 1604 al 1840 si passò a 135 ettari l'anno.

1598
Alfonso II, the last Duke of the Este family, dies and the territories of the Duchy of Ferrara pass to the Papal State. In the meantime, the Po Delta advanced northwards with branches of Tramontana, Levante and Scirocco.
The Po di Tramontana, in particular, began with its sediments to raise the depths of the lagoon towards Chioggia.
1600-1604
For fear that the north-eastern expansion of the Delta would bury the Venice lagoon, in the early 1600s the Po was diverted south towards the Sacca di Goro with an artificial canal which is its current bed. This intervention called "Taglio di Porto Viro", determined the beginning of the formation of the modern Delta.
The old bed became a navigable canal, the Canal Bianco-Po di Levante. If before 1600 the Delta expanded by about 53 hectares a year, from 1604 to 1840 it increased to 135 hectares a year.

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."
I saw this beautiful display of homegrown tomatoes at a local grocery store today. Being a foodie (and a photographer) I had to stop and take a photo. There's nothing like a fresh juicy tomato! And you better believe I bought a couple too. 😁
A lighthouse is a guidance for real, like in a building
For some reason lighthouses have always fascinated me
A guidance in your life is your intuition
As hard as it can be
As easy as it can be
It's always there
Whispering
We tend to listen more to our ego tho
Our ego always have the arguments, the solutions
Why to do things
How to do things
Definitely how and why not to do things
It's often the easy way-solutions or the more fun stuff to do
Your ego keeps on building up arguments why it's smart to follow the egos way
Be aware when you repeatedly think the same arguments over and over again
It's your ego talking, it never whispers
It's cool to know tho, now you can choose to listen if you want, either it's the ego or the intuition
I love knowing
Knowledge rules
I just have to add this little music for you, I love Pink Floyd, it totally rules :D
I haven't heard this one before.
Talking to a loved one today, while this one was playing in the background, totally made this music a lovely piece of art the rest of my day.
Dear Dorota, this little chipmunk and I are wishing you a very Happy Birthday! May this image start your special day on June 10th with a big smile and the knowledge that you are valued and loved. Wishing you great happiness, good health, and lots of peace, dear friend. Much love and big hugsss!

Paruline obscure ou autre ?
Merci énormément pour vos commentaires, ils sont toujours très appréciés.
Je suis présentement à faire quelques travaux d'entretien sur la maison et le terrain, travaux qui perdurent depuis plus de 2 années et donc je dois admettre être pas mal la de faire et refaire.
Bref, ma caméra me suit partout dans la maison comme à l'extérieur, car je suis toujours à l'affût des oiseaux ou autres qui utilisent mon terrain pour s'y nourrir ou tout simplement le traverser. Puisque je suis riverain d'un lac de plus de 17 kilomètres, il y a beaucoup d'action à certains moments.Hier matin, tôt, alors que j'étais en train de commenter vos images sur Flickr avant de commencer mes travaux à l'extérieur, j'ai aperçu du coin de l'œil une petite paruline dans mon jardin de fleurs. Plutôt inhabituelle de la voir aussi basse près du sol et dans le jardin de fleurs... Il y avait probablement quelques insectes qui on fait son petit déjeuné, il y a aussi eu simultanément une paruline noir et blanche ainsi qu'une paruline à joues grises que je n'ai pas réussi à capter parmis les fleurs...
Pas encore vraiment certain que c'est une Paruline obscure, mais probablement que c'est ça car mon très bon ami Serge qui est pas mal bon sur l'identification se trompe rarement. Si vous avez une autre opinion, S.V.P. partagée avec moi vos connaissances.

Tennessee warbler or not?
Thank you very much for your comments, they are always very much appreciated.
I am currently doing some maintenance work on the house and the grounds, work that has been going on for more than 2 years and therefore I must admit that I am quite ready to do and redo.
In short, my camera follows me everywhere in the house and outside, because I am always on the lookout for birds or others that use my land to feed or simply cross it. Since I live on a lake over 17 kilometers long, there is a lot of action at times. Early yesterday morning, while I was commenting on your images on Flickr before starting my work at the Outside, I saw out of the corner of my eye a little warbler in my flower garden. Quite unusual to see her so low near the ground and in the flower garden... There were probably a few insects that made her breakfast, there was also a Black and White Warbler and a Nashville Warbler at the same time that I couldn't capture among the flowers...
Not quite sure it's a Tennessee Warbler yet, but probably it is. If you have another opinion, please share with me your knowledge.
Knowledge should mean a full grasp of knowledge:
Knowledge means to know yourself, heart and soul.
If you have failed to understand yourself,
Then all of your reading has missed its call.
What is the purpose of reading those books?
So that Man can know the All-Powerful.
If you have read, but failed to understand,
Then your efforts are just a barren toil.
Don’t boast of reading, mastering science
Or of all your prayers and obeisance.
If you don’t identify Man as God,
All your learning is of no use at all.
The true meaning of the four holy books
Is found in the alphabet’s first letter.
You talk about that first letter, preacher;
What is the meaning of that-could you tell?
Yunus Emre says to you, pharisee,
Make the holy pilgrimage if need be
A hundred times-but if you ask me,
The visit to a heart is best of all.

We took an evening visit to Bow Lake in the hope of getting a nice sunset. Sadly it wasn't to be but I had a chance to play with long exposures for the first time and I like the effect it creates. My thanks to Justin Minns - www.flickr.com/photos/justinminns/ our tutor for the course for his help, guidance and enthusiasm to impart knowledge.
Constructive criticism is always welcome.

My sun bursted like a star this evening
I had a blast on my hike today
Up to the top where my lake is and there she was waiting for me
All shining
And bursting
Not always easy to get the burst correct
Sometimes it spreads too much and gets all these colours
But this was the best
I was of course thrilled in all my joy of getting a tiny bit more knowledge about this lovely photo-hobby of mine

I had another practice attempt at capturing a bird in flight when this Osprey flew overhead. My main goal here was to try to focus on the eye and get it sharp. There wasn’t much light to work with but I managed to capture just enough to get some colour showing in his eye. Some photographer said you need LUCK when capturing these moments.

It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.

Sancho Panza is a fictional character in the novel Don Quixote written by Spanish author Don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra in 1605. Sancho acts as squire to Don Quixote and provides comments throughout the novel, known as sanchismos, that are a combination of broad humour, ironic Spanish proverbs, and earthy wit. "Panza" in Spanish means "belly".
Sancho is illiterate and proud of it but by influence of his new master, he develops considerable knowledge about some books.
Sancho Panza represents, among other things, the quintessentially Spanish brand of skepticism of the period.
Санчо Панса (ісп. Sancho Panza) — вигаданий персонаж з роману Міґеля де Сервантеса «Хитромудрий гідальго Дон Кіхот з Ламанчі» (1605—1616 рр.). Кастильський селянин, котрого Дон Кіхот вмовив стати його особистим зброєносцем, пообіцявши йому незліченні багатства, які він завоює в боях. Дон Кіхотом разом із Санчо Панса (в іспанській мові слово «панса» означає «черево») — пара пародійних персонажів: худий і довгов'язий Дон Кіхот поряд з низеньким товстуном зброєносцем справляють комічне враження своєю протилежністю. Захоплений та довірливий, але в той же час приземлений, розсудливий і неосвічений, обачливий і недалекий Санчо — типовий селянин, вкорінений в чуттєву стихію народного життя. Відмовмився від поста Губернатора , коли Дон Кіхот запропонував йому його.
Цікаво, що, у міру того як Дон Кихот поступово розчаровується у своїх ідеалах, Санчо Панса все більше переймається утопічною філософією свого хазяїна і ідеями безкорисливого рицарського служіння.

Harrow school library. The Vaughan Library is over 150 years old and was designed in Victorian Gothic style by George Gilbert Scott, who also conceived St Pancras Station in London. Refurbished and enlarged 23 years ago, it is staffed today by qualified librarians and open daily for boys to study, browse and enjoy a quiet space.
It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.

GÉNÉRATION
En hommage à Florence, ma petite-fille, qui m’a spontanément proposé le titre de cette image.
__________
Sur ces rivages bordés d’infini, un père initie son jeune fils à l’art de la pêche en eau peu profonde. Au premier abord, on pourrait croire qu’il s’agit d’une simple scène de pêche, pourtant…
Dans nos sociétés, l’idée de génération est souvent réduite à une opposition statique entre le passé et l’avenir, entre l’ancien et le nouveau. Je crois plutôt qu’il faut y voir un mouvement, un mouvement continu de transmission et d’évolution des connaissances et des mentalités humaines. En somme, cette transmission, notamment par la filiation, permets à l’originel de rester original et de poursuivre l’aventure humaine. * Ce que nous appelons « l’avenir » est, en fait, le résultat de l’interaction et de la transmission par toutes les générations. **
_________
Ici, sur ces rivages bien en retrait des mondes utopiques qui alimentent la fureur de nos sociétés, le père et le fils renouent avec la patience et la modestie fondamentale de l’existence des êtres. Et aussi avec l’enchantement originel devant la beauté et le mystère de notre monde.
La pêche aura été un bon prétexte pour cela.

GENERATION
In honor of Florence, my granddaughter, who spontaneously suggested the title of this image.
__________
On these shores bordered by infinity, a father introduces his young son to the art of shallow-water fishing. At first glance, one might think this is a simple fishing scene, yet...
In our societies, the idea of generation is often reduced to a static opposition between past and future, between old and new. Instead, it should be seen as a movement, a continuous movement of transfer and evolution of knowledge and human mentalities. In short, this transfer, particularly through filiations (kinship), allows the original to remain original and to continue the human adventure.* What we call the future is, in fact, the result of all these generations interacting.
._________
Here, on these shores far removed from the utopian worlds that fuel the fury of our societies, father and son reconnect with the patience and fundamental modesty of being. Also with the original enchantment in front of the beauty and mystery of our world.
Fishing was a good excuse for this.
