This image (to the best of my knowledge) was my first experience of Flickr 'Explore'. originally had just short of 200 'Faves', then I made it private for legal reasons and lost the lot!!! Since then it has now been acquired by Apple for the 'Shot on iPhone' campaign 2016.
Had fun with this one!, glass casserole lid, about 3mm water with olive oil dripped in....an LED torch (and an orange piece of A4 tissue paper between the underneath of glass lid and torch).....one of the individual LED bulbs is the resulting Sun, the whole depth of field (from lens to torch) was less than 20mm, olloclip macro @ 21x, handheld, remote, Snapseed on iPad.

Yellow is known to be the color of knowledge. I hope you are learning
every day. Even if you're your own instructor.
Make it a perfect week..
It’s common knowledge that when the aliens abduct you, you don’t age at all and when the UFO brings you back to Earth you’re the same age as when you left. Here Elvis has been returned to the main street of Seligman, Arizona on old Route 66. As usual, I’m the only one that noticed. . .

The Science Picnic of Polish Radio and the Copernicus Science Centre.
The event was held at the national stadium in Warsaw. As usual at such events it was full of kids and lots of colorful balloons.
As you can see the Science Picnic in my eyes looks very... Strange ?
Somewhere in Canyonlands, I think.
I deny any knowledge of driving one-handed and taking this photo at the same time.

Oh this is a tough one...
I enjoy visiting cemeteries and trying to piece together fragments of people's lives and losses. In my youth I once dreamed of writing a novel based on the lives of people buried in a local cemetery. Perhaps the photographs I have taken here, and at other places like Evandale, are doing precisely that.
I always find it hard not to shed a tear when I come across a little grave like this one. There is the obvious empathy for the pain inflicted when Alfred and Thora Rothwell lost their dear little Desmond Keith, aged just 4 months, "A Little Bub in Heaven".
But for me a child's grave always brings back memories of a day seared deep within my soul. In my second year of High School I lost a close friend. We eventually came to understand that it was a teen suicide, but of course the knowledge of that was hidden from us for a long while. I remember his classmates, all of us, brokenhearted and uncomprehending at his graveside.
It took many years to visit his grave again. But one day I was at another funeral in the same cemetery and I thought, I must go and see my friend. But I knew what would happen. And as I found his resting place again and read the plaque I began to shake with emotion. It had been many years, but I remembered him like it was yesterday. He was the first friend - in fact the first person I was really close to - who had ever died.
I looked up through eyes filled with tears and the whole children's section of the graveyard seemed to be filled with light. I remember those little colourful windmill things blowing in the wind and it was like I'd suddenly had a revelation. I didn't know these words at the time, but I later came to understand they were spoken by the English mystic, Julian of Norwich (1343-1416), "All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well".
There are so many things in the life we do not understand, and a child's death is right up there at the top of the list. In the 19th century the mortality rate for children could be as high as one in two in some places. But equally I am certain that there is a "sure and certain hope of the resurrection". Otherwise the universe is truly without meaning and purpose, and to believe that my friends is a fate worse than death.

Shrimp tails are often left on for several reasons, including enhancing flavor, improving presentation, and providing a practical handle for eating.
Flavor Enhancement
Leaving the tails on shrimp can enhance the overall flavor of the dish. The shells, including the tails, contain water-soluble compounds that contribute to the shrimp's umami taste. When cooked, these compounds can infuse the dish with a richer seafood essence, especially in slow-cooked preparations like broths or sauces.

Doi Suthep the hilltop near Chiangmai resonates with chanting of Buddhist prayers and hymns in the evening.
The wat here is from the Theravada school of Buddhism which believes in the teachings and practices as enunciated in the original Pali scriptures.
During the day time there is not much to do for the monks, specially the older ones. I espied three monks sitting on the ornate wooden chairs, relaxing with a dog in close attendance. They were murmuring in soft Thai language of which I have no knowledge. Peace seemed to hang somnolent over the place.

The knowledge is liberating only when it transforms the creature, otherwise it will be nothing but dead weight!

are printed books days numbered?
I've been running out of places to store my books but since I bought a kobo hd glo I don't think I'll ever have that problem.
this kobo can store more than 3000 books at any one time, that's more space than I will ever need and I don't have to worry about eye strain that you get from other device. e ink is the way forward for me.

I was living nearby when the Amish built this stand by the side of the road. For a long time, they maintained the grass around it, but now it's surrounded with corn. To my knowledge, they've never used it.

The Tree of Knowledge is a ghost gum located in front of the railway station at Barcaldine, under which the workers of the 1891 Shearer's Strike met. An icon of the Labor Party and Trades Unions, it symbolises the foundation of the organised representation of labour in Queensland.
Barcaldine sprang up in 1886 as the terminus of the Central Railway. The area was already settled by pastoralists and had previously been centred on Blackall. Large sheep stations were like small townships with their own working facilities, stores, worker's accommodation and tradesmen such as blacksmiths. The owners and managers of these stations had considerable power to dictate terms to an itinerant workforce recruited for the shearing season. Poor working conditions, low pay and the threat of competition from cheap foreign labour caused discontent within the industry.
Barcaldine was a natural focus for the development of unionism. As the railhead, the town drew many seasonal and casual workers. Besides shearers and hands there were navvies who had worked on the construction of the railway and carriers who had found their work reduced by it. Difficulties in finding work and financial hardship helped to build a sense of mateship and mutual support amongst sections of them. In 1887 the Central Queensland Carriers Union was formed, and discussions leading up to this are said to have been held under the gum tree which provided shade where carriers waited at the front of the railway station. At the same time, the Queensland Shearers' Union was formed at Blackall. Within a year it had 1300 members, indicating a perceived need for collective bargaining to obtain fair pay and working conditions. In 1888 the Central Queensland Labourers' Union was formed at Barcaldine. These three unions were the driving force behind the strike of 1891.
In Brisbane, the Trades and Labour Council was formed in 1885 and in 1889 became the Australian Labour Federation. At Barcaldine in the same year the Pastoral Employers' Association was founded in response and moved to reduce pay rates. Many workers now joined the unions, pushing membership of the Shearers Union over 3000 and the Labourer's Union to 2,250. Only severe wet weather in 1890 delayed a confrontation. By January 1891 union representatives had gathered at Barcaldine for meetings and pastoralists were pressing shearers to sign freedom of contract forms. A strike was called and employers began to import non-union labour from the south. Strikers, some of whom were armed, gathered at Barcaldine and set up a camp at Lagoon Creek and other places around the town.
The government dispatched police and soldiers to the area and the strikers responded by drilling and staging torchlight processions in the town. The tree in front of the station, the Tree of Knowledge, was the location of many meetings and a focus for protest. In March the situation escalated as carriers and railway workers went out in sympathy and military reinforcements arrived. Barcaldine became the focus of the whole country's interest and armed conflict was expected. However, heavy rain which limited movement and the arrest of leaders slowed momentum and strikers began to disperse. On 15 June the strike was officially called off. It had failed, but was to have far reaching effects. The following year, T.J. Ryan became the first representative of labour to be elected to the Queensland Parliament and soon after the Labor Party in Queensland was formed.
Because the area beneath the Tree of Knowledge was the scene of actions and decisions which had a profound effect on the future of labour and politics in Australia, it has become an icon of the Labor Party and Trades Unions. It is also important to the people of Barcaldine as a symbol of the town's identity and historical importance. This is reflected by the name chosen for the commemoration committee formed in 1987, the Tree of Knowledge Development Committee, and by the care given to the tree. In 1990 it was discovered that the tree was infested by termites and other insects and had severe health problems. Treatment by a tree surgeon, pest control and flushing of the root system with thousands of litres of water gave the tree a new lease of life. This treatment was completed in late 1993.
In 1991, there were major celebrations at Barcaldine to mark the centenary of the Shearers' Strike. In preparation for this, the area around the tree was landscaped and a memorial to the strikers erected within the enclosure.
