These stairs lead up to Kaufmann Jr's pad on the 3rd floor of the Fallingwater House. He and his parents of the Kaufmann Department Store owned this house from the late 1930's to the early 1960's when it was donated by Kaufmann Jr .to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Since that time, the public has been able to tour this incredible house.

Still my favourite message -
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Thanks for looking!

"In India, everyone seems to know this.
Philosophy isn't a form of gymnastics, it isn't the monopoly of the educated, it isn't reserved for academies, schools, or "philosophers".
Philosophy in India is part of life; it is Ariandne's thread leading the way out of the labyrinth of ignorance.
Philosophy is the religion offering a hoped-for salvation, which, for Indians, means knowledge.
Not "useful" knowledge for the sake of manipulating, possessing, changing, or dominating the world; but rather, as sacred texts say, "that knowledge which once attained leaves nothing else to know": self-knowledge."
(from "India Notes" by Tiziano Terzani - Italian journalist and writer,1938-2004)
Tiziano Terzani wrote about India like no other, his words are deeply connected to anything I see through my camera.
This sadhu was walking along the Ganges at Bhonsle Ghat in Varanasi (Benaras) where time seems to have decided to stop for ever, as if the atmosphere there wanted to be wrapped in a veil of philosophy, of self-knowledge...

A technology that has shielded some of NASA’s highest-profile space observatories from potentially harmful molecular contamination is now being evaluated as a possible solution for protecting the Smithsonian Institution’s cultural artifacts and natural-science specimens.
Under a Space Act Agreement with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, Nithin Abraham, a thermal-coatings engineer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and museum conservators are testing the effectiveness of the patent-pending Molecular Adsorber Coating, or MAC. Goddard engineers originally created the technology to entrap outgassed molecular contaminants so that they couldn’t adhere to sensitive instruments and components.
Above, NASA Thermal Coatings Engineer Nithin Abraham removes samples treated with a patent-pending adsorber from specimen-storage cabinets at the Smithsonian’s Museum Support Center in Suitland, Maryland, a sprawling storage facility that holds more than 54 million collection items.

It is common knowledge to any observer of rail activity in New Jersey that for some reason NJ Transit puts restrictors in the horns of their locomotives and cab cars. However, there are quite a few of them roaming the rails that are unrestricted. Pictured here is NJT 4515 with an unrestricted horn as it leads this High Bridge bound Raritan Valley Line train through White House on a beautiful, but extremely hot October evening.

If, as we have seen, the Atlantic province of Saintonge has a wealth of Romanesque churches from the 1100s, Burgundy is every bit as wealthy, or almost, and its Romanesque churches are often older by a good 100 years, if not more.
Even though Burgundy is far closer to home for me, I still haven’t been to all the churches I would like to see. Those visits take time to be enjoyed properly, and this kind of photography is slow and deliberate, which means restaurants and hotel nights, and these are activities whose desirability has been seriously curtailed by the pandemic over the past two years. Nevertheless, I have recently been photographing a couple of those old churches during day trips, and I will begin uploading the results, beginning today. I hope you will enjoy them.
Dedicated to Saint Marcel, the church we are visiting today is located in the village of Iguerande, in the Brionnais part of southern Burgundy.
Built in the golden sandstone that’s typical of the area (it’s the concentration of iron oxide in the ground that colors the stone), it is a large but squat church with three naves, a short transept and a harmonious and well-proportioned bell tower.
The sides were reinforced by truly massive, large-apparel buttresses.
It was built around 1050 with the typical exaggerated care of the architects and masons of the early Romanesque age, unsure about the resistance of materials and worried about the ability of their constructions to withstand the test of time.
Compare the careful, low-arching vaults of Iguerande to the slender audacity of the Vienne basilica I uploaded a few days ago: twice as high and three times thinner, even though it was built 600 years before! Then you can truly measure how much knowledge had been lost in-between...
This lovely church is the only building that remains of a Benedictine priory that was once a dependence of the abbeys of Cluny, then Marcigny.
The apse. The paintings on the walls at the extreme left are 19th century, but the one in the blind arch on the northern end of the apse is 12th century.
Taken for the "Active Assignment Weekly" event called "Classic Still Life."
I am interested in how the old masters often used their paintings to tell a story or reinforce some kind of moral tale with their paintings (when it took months to create an image, it seems like people put more thought into their meaning). This is a riff on that old "tree of knowledge" allegory with the apple representing the biblical story, and the books representing the literal path to knowledge.
Lighting and technical info: I had one light on my upper left behind the camera, bounced off an umbrella -- that one-light look was used a lot in classic painting because it gives a soft look (and it is pretty easy to get access to a window as a source of light). In Photoshop, I darkened the blacks in the background, since they had some patterns that I thought were distracting.
The Knowledge Totem is found on the grounds of the British Columbia Parliament Buildings in Victoria, B.C. The totem was carved by Coast Salish artist Cicero August and was created for the 1994 Commonwealth Games. The totem was refurbished in 2021 by Doug August, son of the original artist.
Explored!
It took our ancestors thousands of years to light it, it took me only a few seconds. Knowledge is the key and it needs to be applied properly.
Finally, it's here: my Threadless Artist Shop!!!

My daughter has her degree now and took her own photo next the the old buildings of our University of Otago. I am hoping future emplyers will be impressed by the way her mind is branching out and the way she sees things from a different angle.
Sorry to my contacts for being a bit busy recently. Back tonight.

Or "used" knowledge, since this is a used bookstore in Seaside Oregon. How do they sell books if the store is in this state? Well, I'm not sure, but it has looked like this for the five years I have driven by it.
The American Adventure show just came on Mouse World Radio, and it inspired me to do another post-Memorial Day shot in honor of America, its principles, and the heroes upon which our freedom and those principles are predicated.
I find the end of the show to be especially poignant, but one particular line stands out: "The Golden Age never was the present age..." With regard to our present age, I really hope this to be true. I observe things that I think are indicative of a downward slide in our country's position as a super power--people caring more about celebrity gossip than the Gulf Oil spill that concerns us all, unbridled spending from the executive branch that will likely lead to hyper-inflation or severely burden our future generations, and municipalities and local governments giving serious thought to declaring bankruptcy (I don't fail to see the irony that I myself often read the trivial news of a theme park).
Many Americans are oblivious to all of these things or simply don't care or choose not to educate themselves about these issues. In many regards, we have become a nation that seems, to me at least, to be resting on our past laurels, "coasting by" to a great degree. I hope that I am wrong, and that, in retrospect, this will be a "Golden Era." While I am unabashedly patriotic, and I think there are many great minds that continue to forge our country's greatness, I also think we cannot ride on the backs of these individuals to success. We all must make every effort to thrive individually so that our nation as a collective, likewise, thrives.
