La Sala del Mappamondo è sicuramente una delle più suggestive del Palazzo Farnese, fatto costruire dalla omonima famiglia a Caprarola (Viterbo) nella prima metà del 1500.
Gli affreschi alle pareti sono una preziosa testimonianza delle conoscenza geografiche del XVI sec.

The “Map of the world” room is for sure one of the most characteristic inside Palazzo Farnese, built by the homonymous family in Caprarola (Lazio region, Italy, not far from Viterbo town) in the first half of XVI century.
The frescos at the walls are a precious witnessing of the geographic knowledge at that time.

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 ?
Alaric de Cournouiller continues his Journey to get to reach the city of Sognéterno. He has found some regenerating roots in Grandcastell Canyo on the way and has discovered a shiny crytal.
After a few days of walk without finding anything good, red dots in the distance caught his attention, it was red mushroom. He wanders if he can truth his knowledge and bring these with him, might be useful.
For the signs and the fences, I got inspired by
LEGO Hanged Man’s Tree - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"

Most photographers I know (or artists in general) all have their one favorite peice of work they have created. A peice that represents best what they constantly strive to make... a defining moment in their own history when everything comes together and falls into harmounious place. This shot is that for me. It's probably not the best shot I have ever taken, but it's special to me for many reasons.
A few years ago, I was spending yet another summer in Glacier National Park, an eden for landscape photographers. The place is breathtaking, really. But this breathtaking beauty means it's photographed... A LOT. So having found this unique comp, that had not been previously photographed to my knowledge, was an exciting moment for me.
I spent the next 4 evenings sitting atop this waterfall, soaking my nether regions in the cold snowmelt that feeds it. Finally on the last night, the light I was dying for happened. But for me, it's not the epic light that stands out in my mind when recalling this evening. It's the place, the solitude I had that evening with nobody around me, the excitement of having longhorn sheep walk right up to me for a couple sniffs (I hadn't showered for probably 9 days), and knowing that I was going to create something that would be really special to me.
It's those things that make this shot so special to me. Everything just fell into place. The comp, the light, the moment as a whole... and now the memories. And since this is such a special image for me, I tend to go back every couple of years to reprocess it to keep it looking it's best. So yesterday, I sat down to do just that. When I finished, I looked at this new version compared to the old version... it left me feeling embarrassed for myself. The old version is SO bad. It really showed me how much I've grown and learned with my post processing.
Anyways, here it is. My favorite photo I have ever taken... featuring Lewis Range peaks Reynolds Mountain, Clements Mountain (partially visable), and Mount Oberlin. In a large print of this image, you can see part of the 600ft Bird Woman Falls inbetween the distant peaks as well as tall stands of Beargrass blooms in the meadows to the right.

A mudra (Sanskrit मुद्रा, "seal", "mark", or "gesture"; Tibetan: ཕྱག་རྒྱ་ chakgya) is a symbolic or ritual gesture in Hinduism and Buddhism. Jnana Mudra or Gyan Mudra is the most common yogic mudra used in meditation. In Sanskrit, the word ‘Jnana’ means knowledge or wisdom and ‘mudra’ means sign or gesture. It literally means the psychic gesture of Knowledge or wisdom.

Me gustaba tanto el cielo de ayer, un cielo estrecho, negro de lluvia, que se apretaba contra los vidrios como un rostro ridículo y conmovedor. Este sol no es ridículo, al contrario. Sobre todas las cosas que me gustan, sobre la herrumbre del depósito, sobre las tablas podridas de la empalizada, cae una luz ávara y razonable, semejante a la mirada que, después de una noche insomne, echamos a las decisiones tomadas con entusiasmo la víspera, a las páginas escritas sin tachaduras, de un tirón.
Día perfecto para volver sobre uno mismo: las frías claridades que el sol proyecta, como un juicio sin indulgencia, sobre las criaturas, entran en mí por los ojos; me ilumina por dentro una luz empobrecedora. Me bastarían quince minutos para llegar al sumpremo hastío de mí misma.
Sorry my knowledge is very limited on ID.
I love the Flickr automatic tags. they have tagged this as food. I may go back and have it on my toast. Wonder if I will have a bad belly afterwards?
That said, I may get a Flickr viewer saying it is edible. Egg on my face then. Sorry about the pun.

When driving to Elgol to passed this old church ruins with a beautiful snow-capped mountain behind and just had to stop and photo it.
Cill Chriosd (Christ's Church or "Kilchrist") is a ruined former parish church of Strath , on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It was constructed around the 16th century, replacing an earlier Medieval church on the same location, and was used until 1840 when the Parish church was relocated to Broadford. It lies on the B8083 Broadford to Torrin and Elgol road.
The ruins of the church lie at the top of a small mound, surrounded by the graveyard. It has been described by Miers as "The long, low, rubble ruin of the post- Reformation parish church of Strath has roughly dressed quoins and jambs, and a balustraded burial enclosure added to the east gable in the early 18th century for the Mackinnons."
The church doorway, in the south wall, has splayed jambs and check and square sconsions. The south wall also has three windows, with check and inward splay; the east gable has a similar window, which is now built up. The insides measure 52 feet 9 inches (16.08 m) by 17 feet 6 inches (5.33 m). The side walls are 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and 2 feet 3 inches (0.69 m) deep, with the gables 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 m) in thickness. The church is 30 degrees from due east-west, and has no openings in the north and west walls.
The church is the remains of the parish church of Strath, including the cleared villages of Boreraig and Susinish.
The location is thought to have a heritage of Christian worship dating back to the 7th century, when St Mael Ruba preached from nearby Cnoc na-Aifhreann ("hill of the mass"). The original Parish church for Strath was located at Ashiag, and was founded by St Mael Ruba in the 7th Century AD; the new parish church was relocated to this location in the later Middle Ages. The present ruined church probably replaced the first medieval stone church in the 16th century. Written records for the church date back to 1505, although the earliest records only give a list of the names of the ministers. In 1505 the chaplain Kenneth ("Kensoch") Adamson succeeded John MacGillebredison, before being replaced by John Johnson, and then John Ronaldson in 1508 after Johnson's death.
On 19 June 1627, Neil Mackinnon became the first Protestant minister of the church, however he "is remembered primarily for his meanness and his greed". During his appointment ceremony he 'gave his grite and solemn oath that he all treulie according to his knowledge, give up the Clerk of Councell the names of all the Papists he knew within the Isles'. It is recorded that he only allowed his workmen one meal on Sundays (rather than two, as for other days) as they were resting. However, one Sunday two hungry workmen waited until after MacKinnon had finished preaching and had left the church before setting to work with their foot plough. Following this, the preacher allowed them two meals every day.
Cill Chriosd was replaced by a new parish church in Broadford in 1840.
Records from 1913 show that there were a pair of unusual gravemarkers in the graveyard - one dedicated to Chief Lachlan Mor and carrying "obscure hieroglyphics", the other possibly dating from the pre-Christian era. However, both have since vanished. Most graves are connected to Clan MacKinnon, and are from the 18th and 19th centuries. One memorial, in the inner wall of the burial enclosure, is for "Charles Third", who was apparently born in Corry near Broadford as a MacKinnon but later died in Australia after emigrating. A worn medieval slab carved with an ornate cross is located in the south corner of the graveyard.
The churchyard also has an amorial stone, as well as a possible fragment of the necking and lower arms of a crude cross, with one side plane and the other side bearing two animals carved into a relief on the lower portion. The graveyard also contains a slab of slate with a foliated cross, with one side preserved but the other side worn away.

. In the scenic setting on the banks of the Tons River in Dehradun is a popular Shiva shrine inside a small, dripping cave known as Drona Cave. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The Tapkeshwar Mahadev temple is an age-old temple and has a rustic charm to it. The river adds to the beauty of the temple. This pretty cave temple located in the cantonment area of Garhi in the heart of the city is a very sacred and revered temple, which attracts thousands of tourists and devotees.
It is believed that this temple dates back to the era of Mahabharata. Common faith follows that the guru Drona of Pandavas and Kauravas, meditated in this cave to gain the knowledge and expertise in military arts such as archery with the blessings of Lord Shiva. It was here that Guru Dronacharya and his wife, Kripi, were blessed with a son, Ashwathama, and milk started dripping from this cave owing to the powers of Lord Shiva for Ashwathama who needed this milk.
From February/2017. I still haven't gone through the 200 plus shots I was privileged to take of this beautiful owl. My wife spotted it along a busy highway and while I took a number of photos at that time I returned later to take more. It was in the same area but had moved onto a different fence post and then into a tree when crows came in. To my knowledge it was only there for a day and hopefully safe today.
Thank you for viewing.

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 HUMBLE FROG, 2015
Mild steel & stainless steel
“The frog is the traditional carrier of sound, whose powerful voice sings the stories and songs of his people. Given his position of importance, it would be tempting for the frog to lose sight of his humility; however, in the frog is a sensitive and fragile creature. Humility serves as a reminder to stay humble and thoughtful of our place in this world.

The knowledge is liberating only when it transforms the creature, otherwise it will be nothing but dead weight!
🤔😆
This is supposed to work, right? If I sleep on this stack of books the knowledge will gradually seep into my head until I'm a super genius, or so I assume. At this point I'm up for anything!!
Only 3 full weeks into the 5 months of studying and I've reached the point of "holy cow, there is no way I'm going to learn and then retain everything I need to know." I'm keeping the full-fledged panic at bay, but only barely! Thankfully I will be taking my vacation week soon, and I'm determined to stay away from the books while I'm on my trip.
i'm missing my flickr time like you would not believe! Looking through your photos when I can is a great way to unwind, so I'll be catching up whenever possible!
Happy Wednesday!
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 discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
[Proverbs 15:14 NIV]
5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
we all should strive for knowledge, not necessarily in this way :)
