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.

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

Staircase in the Technical University of Regensburg. The university also has an "Institute of Scalology", which is the science of the originalities and the appeal of stairs, or in brief, "knowledge of the staircase". This is the only one worldwide - with regard to my photographic obsession quite funny, isn't it? 😄
“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.
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.

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.

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.

Era bellissima, lei, e guardava sempre il mare. Per poter vedere quegli occhi, lui, il mare lo tenne sempre alle spalle. E non lo vide mai.

Record crowds lined the streets of Manchester to celebrate Chinese New Year and watch the city's famous Dragon Parade in what has been described as the busiest year yet. A huge 175ft long dragon, dancing lions and traditional Geisha artists were among the hundreds of participants in the parade through the city centre.
They were watched by thousands of people who crammed along Oxford Street, Portland Street and through China Town which were all closed to traffic for the celebration on Sunday. Naturally it was the dragon dancers - formed of two parts - that drew the biggest gasps from the hundreds of youngsters lining the streets with their families.
The dragons swept over and around the crowds chasing the "Pearl of Wisdom" - a large globe on a pole which is symbolic of the dragon chasing wisdom and knowledge. Manchester's civic dignitaries earlier bestowed the dragon with red ribbons to usher in good fortune.
2024 is the Lunar Year of the Dragon - which is a symbol of good luck, health and strength in Chinese culture. The reason why dragon dances are performed at the start of the Lunar New Year is because they are believed to chase away evil spirits and welcome in prosperous times.
City centre spokesman Pat Karney hailed it a "record year" for Chinese New Year celebrations saying: "The best ever Chinese New Year Celebrations. Record crowds have been treated to a feast of dance and musical performances and the Dragon had kids in absolute awe."

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.

Водная феерия, которая продолжается тут более 300 лет, — заслуга Петра I. Известно, что император был хорош не только в государственных делах. Как гласит история, используя технические знания и немного смекалки, он построил самотёчный канал, который запитал фонтаны водой с Ропшинской возвышенности благодаря естественному перепаду высот рельефа. Сколько конструкций было придумано именно Петром I, сейчас сказать трудно, но какие-то работают здесь со времён первого русского императора.
В дальнейшем фонтанную систему Петергофа неоднократно расширяли и реконструировали, но природный водопровод продолжает работать по принципу сообщающихся сосудов, без насоса и какой-либо автоматики. Настоящее инженерное чудо!
............................................................................................................................................................The water extravaganza, which has been going on here for more than 300 years, is the merit of Peter I. It is known that the emperor was good not only in state affairs. As the story goes, using technical knowledge and a little ingenuity, he built a gravity channel that fed the fountains with water from the Ropshinsky upland due to the natural elevation difference of the relief. It is difficult to say how many designs were invented by Peter I, but some have been working here since the time of the first Russian emperor.
In the future, the fountain system of Peterhof was repeatedly expanded and reconstructed, but the natural water supply continues to work on the principle of communicating vessels, without a pump and any automation. A real engineering miracle!
