Staircase of the Bavarian State Library - built between 1832-1841 - Munich - Germany

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? 😄

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.
La strada che porta alla conoscenza è una strada che passa per dei buoni incontri.
The road that leads to knowledge is a road that passes through good meetings.
(Baruch Spinoza)
The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation,
are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree,
and are portrayed in various religions and philosophies as the same tree
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.
"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. 😁
Golden Eagle - pre jump.
I couldn't believe my luck when I came across this beauty. He was hunting from this fence post while his partner was watching him from their favorite tree upslope and in full view.
I proceeded out of my vehicle very slowly and got into position and remained very quite and calm. After a minute he targeted a ground squirrel and went to ground.
Each individual bird has it's own unique disposition, and even more so do species have their own tendencies to behave in particular ways.
You never know what impact your presence has, especially if a predator is hunting. I always try to error on the side of cautious and give them room to do their thing.
There is no such thing as a wildlife photographer who never flushes a bird, no matter how skilled or knowledgable they are. I was pleased to leave this beautiful Eagle in peace after getting a memorable sequence.
That should be the goal of every wildlife photographer.
As I drove away it remained on the ground next to a ground squirrel hole, patiently waiting for a meal.
More photos from this sequence to come.

Thanks as always to Ben Locke for his help whenever I'm lucky enough to visit the forest - his knowledge of the area and its wildlife is second to none

"I'm only lonely
When the night is home
Controlling for me
'Til my right is wrong
Nothing's the way it seems
When things go wrong
I know me, know me
I cannot move on
I cannot move on
Everytime I...
Close my eyes I...
Dream about your face
Nothing can replace
Everytime I...
Close my eyes, your
Voice I can't retrace
Nothing can replace
Nothing can replace
I know you told me that you won't be long
Time lapse and I'm trapped in another's arms...
I am too cold, I long for your warmth
I'm not me, got me
I cannot move on
I cannot move on
Far away
I'm all alone
I'm on my own..." - Ravyn Lenae ♫

The gills on a mushroom, also known as lamellae, serve the primary purpose of producing and dispersing spores, which are the reproductive cells of the fungus.
Gills on mushrooms are an important part of identifying species as well as understanding how they grow and thrive in different environments.
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.

Lettre sur les Aveugles ll, 1974
About the title of this painting:
"Diderot's celebrated Lettre sur les aveugles à l'usage de ceux qui voient ("Letter on the Blind") (1749), introduced him to the world as a daringly original thinker. The subject is a discussion of the interrelation between man's reason and the knowledge acquired through perception (the five senses)." Wikipedia

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