Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. The human eye can distinguish about 500 shades of gray.
-- Sensational Color
_______________________
Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.
-- Gerhard Richter

Many years ago I thought nothing of purchasing anything made of plastic. Looking at this image of plastic straws, I am reminded that it is up to each and every one of us to make significant changes to our lives if we care about our Earth and those who will live long after we have left this planet.
In my mind, this image has gone from one of captured beauty to one as a reminder that I need to be aware of my part in protecting Mother Earth.

After spending time in Ireland's countryside, we headed to Dublin to return our rental car. It was exciting to be in this vibrant city wiith so much historical charm and lots of great things to see & do!
This is the Long Room, with it's oak ceiling and two levels of bookshelves holding some of Ireland's most ancient and valuable volumes in the oldest part of the Library at Trinity College and still in constant use... since 1732.

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.

A geological hammer, in memory of Mary Anning (1799-1847) from Lyme Regis/Dorset, fossil collector and lay palaeontologist and one of the key figures in the discovery of dinosaurs. She was not an "Anglican gentleman", not part of the establishment, but a dissenter and a woman and as such not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. "The world has used me so unkindly", she wrote. Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F 0.95; reflector used; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.

Library design (2016): Andrea Milani.
The site for the cathedral was purchased in 1905. A. O. Von Herbulis of Washington, D.C., was commissioned as the architect. Von Herbulis was trained abroad and was chosen for his knowledge of the cathedrals of Europe. Rough sketches were prepared in two styles, Romanesque and Gothic. When the drawings were presented, the Building Committee chose the Gothic form; a motion to authorize that design passed unanimously. Von Herbulis was studying in Vienna, Austria, when the Votive Church was built there. He modelled the Cathedral after the Votivkirche.
The Columbia Construction Company of New York began construction of the Cathedral in 1908; the cornerstone was laid on October 4 that year. On November 8, 1914, the Catholic community of Helena gathered to celebrate Mass for the first time in the new church. The first funeral held in the Cathedral was that of Thomas Cruse, a benefactor, December 26, 1914. The Cathedral was not completed for another 10 years. In June 1924, the Cathedral was consecrated.
The stained glass windows for the Cathedral were made and installed by the F.X. Zettler Firm of Munich, Bavaria
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.

Additional details on my blog.
I have always had a bit of envy for those who can sit with a pencil or paint brush and create true art. I intentionally use the word true as a disseminator reflecting that I am only referring to art that I like. My oldest son Jeremy taught me years ago that all art presented is someone else’s art, not mine. It is an expression of what they see, feel or are trying to express. It all impacts someone in different ways. I believe much of it to be trash!
In this shot, while editing I just couldn’t stand the thought of yet another color shot of a raptor in flight. I have taken and retained hundreds and shared just a few. The raw file of this shot reflects near perfect focus of this top-lite Rough-legged hawk hovering above the tundra just north of Nome Alaska. As one who strives to take only the sharpest photos…nobody sees the hundreds-thousands I get wrong, sometimes blowing blessed encounters all together!
In this case, I may have crossed the line as when editing started on this particular file, it screamed to me to be in black and white…and to be grained up a bit. Maybe the knowledge of knowing the species name, a Rough-legged hawk, subliminally spoke to me. It wasn’t until writing this account this morning that I realized that there might just be much more of a reason.
This shot was taken on 19 August. On the morning of the 20th at daybreak I was on the same road in the same area as this shot was taken. I noticed a Rough-legged hawk laying in the road. It apparently flew into a vehicle…and it’s Nome…not too many vehicles running around, sometime the evening before. I stood over it, wondering if it was the beautiful specimen who allowed me a photo session just hours before, or its mate. With respect, I folded it wings and moved it off the road so that it would not be destroyed by traffic and could be harvested by other creatures who needed it and not waisted.
Then the voice inside of my head simply said “Honor it.” So, I gathered a few dozen feathers from the area and plucked a few more…yes plucked…try not to judge! Maybe another line was crossed here as I do not know the law on harvesting feathers from a dead hawk on an Alaskan roadside. But I authorized myself as I realized that I and others could utilize them in making fishing flies, continuing his/her participation in the cycle of life.
I plan on printing and framing this shot for my office. It will join the other 192 other framed photographs that are mostly there as just a good memory, its addition will be a final aspect of honoring its life.

"In the deepest sense the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a search for ourselves."

I have met semi-literate village intellectuals with a lot of wisdom and highly educated scholars not in control of their motivations. The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is a tricky one. Let us try this formulation: wisdom without knowledge is an impossibility, knowledge without wisdom is vacuous. The point here really is the definition of knowledge or, more precisely, the privileging of a certain type of knowledge (let us call it, for lack of a better term, the academic variety) over other types. Such other types may be emotional knowledge, or social and cultural abilities. The whole sector of artistic expression should be mentioned as well. Just to make the point again: wisdom is based on knowledge, it is not a "return to childhood". So, little cherub, go out into this world and make yourself knowledgeable, you might get wisdom, too.

Another shot focusing on Mood. Funny thing this was shot from a moving car in Poland. I wanted to stop and shot the sunset instead I had to get my timing right to get a subject, focus, and shutter. It was shot with a tilt-shift (which is all manual), so you could image the technical challenge this posed. The tree just sticks out, gave me this whole thought of Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge, hence the title.
I love photography. I love photography even more when things work out.
