After being inspired by Flicker I have decided the only way to improve on my photography is practise, practise, practise!! Today was an attempt at self portrait – and as you know I prefer to be behind the scene rather that in front! Myself will be revealed as time passes on so, what’s for my first photo?? My fave pastime at the moment is reading photography books. So for my first shot - me engrossed!! I did not realize just how difficult taking self portrait can be in regards to focus, and how time consuming it becomes to constantly set self timer and recompose etc. A learning experience today. So for my first shot – my 44 year old hand holds a wealth of knowledge that needs to be applied to real life!
For knowledge, too is itself a power.
Sir Francis Bacon

He shares knowledge, he teaches, he inspires and by so doing lives life well.
He laughs, fights and curses, he sings out loud and by so doing lives life well.
He can't resist taking yet another new puppy home and by so doing lives life to the very full.

High winds and low humidity fueled extreme fire behavior as the Wallow Fire continued to consume acres of forested land in the mountains of eastern Arizona on June 7, 2011. By the end of the day, the fire had burned 311,481 acres (487 square miles), up 77,959 acres (122 square miles) from the previous day. As the fire raged, smoke poured across the United States, clouding skies over the Midwest.
At 11:05 a.m. Arizona time, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite acquired this image, a dense band of smoke was visible from Texas to Nebraska. Winds had blown the smoke eastward from New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, where it hovered on June 5.
The thick smoke in this image was only part of the smoky haze plaguing the continental United States in early June. According to the U.S. Air Quality “Smog Blog,” smoke from fires in Arizona and New Mexico extended through Kansas and into to the Great Lakes region, affecting air quality for large areas east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Wallow Fire started on May 29, 2011. As of June 7, 2011, the fire had damaged one structure, destroyed 10 others, and threatened 343 more. As sheriffs expanded evacuation orders, fire-control crews undertook controlled burns to establish line of protection around the fire. At that time, however, the fire remained completely uncontained.

All abstract knowledge is a faded reality: this is because to understand the world is not enough, you must see it, touch it, live in its presence and drink the vital heat of existence in the very heart of reality.
The most difficult thing in this picture were books. For this selfie I brough all available books from my home. It's almost half of the picture. The other difficult thing was make books stand. It was not easy. But nevertheless I'm glad that this picture done)

The idea here is about the advance of knowledge.
The spines are the various disciplines which must necessarily diverge as we attempt to understand a universe where the unknown always exceeds the known. Each spine has a path forward, an advance into the unknown.
The horizontal weaving strands are the threads we weave as we attempt to connect the various disciplines. We find language and weave the disciplines together to make the knowledge useful and meaningful.
The spines must always precede the horizontal weave, because they are the frame the weave is built on. You can't weave together threads of knowledge that don't yet exist.
Without the weaving the spines just lay flat on the ground and radiate out. And without the spines the basket is just a coiled garden hose on the ground. But together they hold each other up and create structure.
It's the spines and connections together that give the basket its utility, that makes it able to hold things and so on. And the continuing journey makes the basket bigger and bigger. Over time it holds more and more meaning, life, knowledge and goodness. It's a cornucopia! :)
seen in botswana, near maun while we filled up our water tanks. i love this spirit and voice in this photograph ...
This tool box goes with me to every class, workshop, and to my Treasure Box Academy. It holds tools and teaches mosaic art at the same time.
London taxi drivers go through stringent training to obtain their licence, they need to pass “The Knowledge”, a test which is amongst the hardest to pass in the world, it has been described as like having an atlas of London implanted into your brain. No two days are ever the same for London cabbies, they just never know who is going to be climbing into the back of their cabs. Taxi drivers meet people from all walks of life, the rich and famous, arguing couples and tourists who always have a question or two that they would like answering. Add this factor to the amount you can earn as a London taxi driver and it is a career many feel is well worth the effort.
An effort that requires you to memorise every possible route through the city as well as memorising landmarks and points of interest, museums, parks, police stations, churches, theatres and schools and not just the famous landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Nelsons Column. The hardest of all taxi driver tests in the world is how many have described “The London Knowledge” a reputation which very few would argue with.

The world's smallest operating model train set was built by New Jersey resident David Smith, a model train enthusiast. The tiny railway consists of a five-carriage train that travels on a circular track through a tunnel while being 35,200 times smaller than its standard-sized version. The village showcases a model shop for storing the tiny trains. It costs Smith £6 to build the train set.

In 2011, Tony and I took a trip through Canada and Alaska, along the 'Alcan' or 'Alaska' Highway. Our trip took us through a small town in British Columbia called Chetwynd. We had no prior knowledge of the wonderful tradition that transforms this town into a WORLD CLASS Chainsaw Carving event each year. This image is an example of the sculptures we saw: The winner of the 2010 contest. We vowed to come back and watch the contest someday...all four days of it! So here we were in Chetwynd, British Columbia, June 9 through June 12, 2016. If you care to follow, I will take you through our four days of flying sawdust and chainsaw artistry. (Yahtzee #40). (FYI... "Yahtzee" is the name of our faithful, much traveled in, motor home...and #40 is our 40th trip in it...)
