Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
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)
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.
Stairway to knowledge. Of course, we're on the third floor. 8^) Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health.

The sun rising over the city of Vancouver, BC - seen through a lot of window condensation! Hoping for more human warmth and kindness, and a bit more light and knowledge wouldn't hurt either.
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.

This was just a test shot ahead of my planned evening shoot, but to be honest I prefer this daytime version on account that the colours show up better, especially the middle mustard section and roof cylinder. And the new pool does lend itself for some great reflections.
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.

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.
She was beautiful, her, and always looked at the sea. In order to see those eyes, he, the sea always kept behind. And he never saw him.

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.

Being faced with the perspective of there not being any way to photograph a working Kriegslok, our newly found friends from the UK offered us a trip towards Banovići. I was really hesitant to go there, as I don't really like narrow gauge trains, but what other option was there? We got into the car and, very slowly, drove to Banovići where we met with the friendly staff, got permits and started walking around the main railway workshops area. We got informed, that one of the narrow gauge engines is active at Oskova, working with loaded trains near the washery.
We made our way there and the loco was waiting for a loaded train, which would come in the late afternoon. We spent our time waiting for that to happen by walking around, chatting, having tea and all that. One of the Brits, who we'd met, showed me a shed downhill from where we were and told me 'That's where they have a tanker engine on standard gauge, there was an organised excursion here in October, and they were told the tanker will never run ever again, due to a heavy breakdown'. As witnessed by Gordon here.
How surprised were my friends to see, moments later, steam and smoke coming from under the roof of the shed. We came down the hill to see what's happening and we weren't mistaken - the loco was indeed being fired up. At the same time the crew was digging out a tunnel in the deep snow for the locomotive to have a short test run, which we were all very excited for. It turned out the diesel shunter had a heavy breakdown and needed to be sent for repairs. The tanker was to overtake its role. To our knowledge, this only used to happen maybe just a couple of times a year in the past years.
In some time it finally happened and I got my participation prize. 62-125, the last standard gauge Yugoslav tanker engine was out for the test run and we all captured it as it was moving around the snowed over track. Sadly it couldn't move very far, as the locomotive would get stuck in the deep snow, especially without cowcatchers.
This tanker engine was produced in Yugoslavia based on a USA design for the war effort. So, in a sense, I sort of got my picture of a Kriegslok after all.

On the night of 10th May this year we had a major flood event in Hobart, Tasmania. We had 3.5 times the average monthly rainfall in 24 hours - 130mm.
On that night it was very stormy. But when it was in full force it was quite extraordinary. Our laundry ceiling collapsed and we had a river of water flowing through the ceiling. Our family had a bucket train going to minimise the damage as best we could.
And the whole time, there was constant lightning in the sky. Non-stop. Never seen anything like it. Almost expected to see the rim of a massive ufo appear through the clouds.
The next morning when we looked at the world around us, we saw that the University suffered much worse than we did. This photo is of the Law building - water flowed through the library, bursting the doors and a river of books were swept onto the car park and the oval. Quite extraordinary. The engineering building basement was flooded completely.
So six months later, our laundry is finally being repaired by the insurance company. Either a testament to how widespread the damage was and the lack of resources to fix everything in a reasonable time, or something else.
Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.

Each month I take a favourite photo from ten years back, and re-edit it, using current tools and knowledge.
This one seems to have gained a little something from the changes in tech. Plus I straightened it better. :-)
"Ipsa scientia potestas est". The phrase “Knowledge is power” is commonly attributed to Francis Bacon,1597
I am beginning to wonder --
recently it seems the "power is power" and knowledge seems to have no place in American politics.
On Tuesday, the director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned over the war in Iran, urging Trump to "reverse course".
In a letter, Kent argued that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US, despite the administration's repeated claims to the contrary.
Recently, Donald Trump made several blunt comments about Joe Kent after Kent resigned from his role as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in March 2026.
What Trump said:
Trump dismissed Kent as “weak on security”.
He said it was “a good thing that he’s out” of the administration.
He criticised Kent’s judgement, saying people who think Iran isn’t a threat are “not smart” or “not savvy.”
Kent resigned in protest over the U.S. war with Iran, arguing the conflict was unnecessary and based on misleading information.
Trump, by contrast, has defended the war as necessary for national security and based on credible threats.
And the weirdest bit of all - - - Trump nominated Kent in February 2025 to be director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
