Many thanks to Carlos for his knowledge and frog and bird-finding skills.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

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.
The bible is a book of knowledge. It's teachings have brought much good to the world. #bible #knowledge
Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.
I was amazed by the ceiling in this room, which symbolized for me the Tree of Knowledge at the Gottesman Research Library and Learning Center of the Museum of Natural History in New York. It was designed by Studio Gang, the international and urban practice design firm led by Jeanne Gang, and was reopened in 2023.

for beautiful eyes, look for the good in others
for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness
and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

This image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the colorful "last hurrah" of a star like our sun. The star is ending its life by casting off its outer layers of gas, which formed a cocoon around the star's remaining core. Ultraviolet light from the dying star makes the material glow. The burned-out star, called a white dwarf, is the white dot in the center. Our sun will eventually burn out and shroud itself with stellar debris, but not for another 5 billion years.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is littered with these stellar relics, called planetary nebulae. The objects have nothing to do with planets. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century astronomers called them the name because through small telescopes they resembled the disks of the distant planets Uranus and Neptune. The planetary nebula in this image is called NGC 2440. The white dwarf at the center of NGC 2440 is one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature of more than 360,000 degrees Fahrenheit (200,000 degrees Celsius). The nebula's chaotic structure suggests that the star shed its mass episodically. During each outburst, the star expelled material in a different direction. This can be seen in the two bowtie-shaped lobes. The nebula also is rich in clouds of dust, some of which form long, dark streaks pointing away from the star. NGC 2440 lies about 4,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Puppis.
The material expelled by the star glows with different colors depending on its composition, its density and how close it is to the hot central star. Blue samples helium; blue-green oxygen, and red nitrogen and hydrogen.

An introduction to using Slow Shutter Speeds
You'll learn to use slower shutter speeds such as 1 sec or lower. You can use Neutral Density filters if you wish but they aren't necessary. As we can explore small apertures, all levels of knowledge welcome from beginners to more advanced.
This part of the Seafront has lots to offer, with Sea defences, cliffs and Rock formations. Plus at low tides an abundance of rock pools. The time of the workshop tide times start at low tide and will end with a high tide giving us plenty of time to explore.
There is a cafe nearby for us to stop for lunch, we can then share and discuss our images.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
Even without any knowledge of the Dutch language you can guess what "Brandweer" means. Mark how the iron capitals are beautifully crafted in a classic font, perhaps art deco style.
Excellent L&P to add to the Lines and Planes series.
It's about surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.

You see, I started this project for reasons unlike what most of you have described: better knowledge of your camera, a way to hone your skills, etc., etc. Me? I really did not see any point in having three hundred and sixty five photographs of myself. But, here’s how it happened:
Last summer I drove from my life in California back to my childhood home in Ohio. The decision to move home was based on necessity, not want. Over the course of the four-day cross-country drive, WITH MY MOTHER, I realized I was going to need one hell of an outlet if I was going to survive this transition year. During this drive across country, I also realized that not only would I need an outlet, a safe-haven, a secret-hide-out from my everyday life back home, I realized I would need some friends. Not one of my friends from high school or growing up was still around town. The whole drive I thought about the 365 projects I’d seen on Flickr, and by the time I got half way home, I’d decided that’s what I needed to do. I even convinced my mom on the drive that I needed a DSLR… you know… as an investment? Uh-huh. And a 365 was born on the night of August 16, 2008… the day my cross-continental drive came to an end and I was officially home. One year ago.
What I didn’t realize was just how much of an outlet this would be. I like to think of it as the one room in my house where no one can find me. What else I didn’t realize was… you people would become more than online-acquaintances. You would become friends, people I actually desire to meet.
It’s funny, this project, and what it does to you that you don’t expect. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my life over this past year (not just through the 365, lets not be dramatic), and I think maybe I’ve even learned a little photography along the way.
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by at one point or another over the past year.
Love,
Erin

For TOTW: movie lines....Cause i'm so not in the same place i was a year ago.
I was concentrating so hard on the bee that I didn't really look at the flowers when I took this shot at Borde Hill recently. I presumed it was lavender, but now I'm not sure. Is it catmint/catnip? I have no doubt there are many gardeners out there who will be horrified at my lack of knowledge of flowers, but I'm hoping they'll put me right. :))
