Oh no, this isn't Croatia either! I told you all that's where I was going and now I end up posting photos from everywhere else first. Wait for it, wait for it...it'll happen, I swear.
Anyway, this may not be Croatia but IS neighboring Bosnia & Hercegovina, more precisely beautiful city Mostar. This amazing old bridge was unfortunately destroyed in the war in 1993, but they finished rebuilding it in 2004 and it seems to be the star attraction of the city once again. It's particularly magical at dusk reflected in the Neretva River!
I'm thankful I got to capture this view (Mostar was originally just going to be a brief afternoon stop until rainy Croatian weather led to some replanning of plans) and thankful my friend traveling with me patiently waited for me to finish photo'ing so we could go find a late dinner. At least she's picked up a lot of photo knowledge hanging around me, though, such as talking knowledgeably about blue hour and how it is not actually an hour!
The knowledge that is not a good photo but that somehow it speak to me, Ronald Barthes calls it The Punctum.
The Punctum points to those features of a photograph that seem to produce or convey a meaning without invoking any recognizable symbolic system. This kind of meaning is unique to the response of individual viewer of the image. The punctum punctuates the studium and as result pierces its viewer.

The vastness of knowledge needs to be explored.

Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
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.
Knowledge Has A Mind Of It's Own
Inspired by my own drawing from 1984, when I was 7 years old, for my Grandma (it could be 1982, but I can't read my own writing :) I've wanted to do this photo for so long, and am so thrilled I've finally done it.

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.

CANNON SHELLS OR PROJECTILES THAT MAKE A BIG BANG THAT ARE POINTED AT ONE END AND FLAT AT THE OTHER END AND HURT IF DROPPED ON FOOT. ENOUGH OM ME SHOWING MY VAST KNOWLEDGE. AT COALHOUSE FORT VICTORIAN MILITARY DEFENCE STRUCTURE ON THE EAST COAST NEAR RIVER THAMES AND LONDON ENGLAND DSC00857
A colorful doorway with 8 sqaure mandala like depiction lay locked at the Thiksay Monastery in Ladakh.
Perhaps a holy chamber or a prayer hall holding scripts of knowledge and learning. Of particular interest to me is the text appearing at the top of the doorway. It is a mantra written in Ranjana script, used for calligraphy in the Buddhist areas of Nepal and other adjoining areas from the 11th century onwards.
The Mantra is the Buddhist Shakyamuni mantra and it reads like this -
Tadyathā om muni muni mahāmuni śākyamuni svāhā.
“Om wise one, wise one, greatly wise one, wise one of the Shakyans, Hail!
The Shakya clan was an ancient Indo-Aryan tribe that flourished in the Iron Age in the region of modern-day India and Nepal, known for its oligarchic republican system of governance. Its most famous member was Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, who became known as Shakyamuni or the Gautam Buddha. The Shakyan area had a capital called Kapilavastu. The Shakya were a prominent part of the Kshatriya (warrior) class.
The Rañjanā script is an abugida writing system which developed in the 11th century and until the mid-20th century was used in an area from Nepal to Tibet by the Newar people, the historic inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley, to write Sanskrit and Newar.
The Ranjana script is a historic calligraphic writing system, also known as Lantsa, that was used by the Newar people of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. Derived from the Brahmi script, it was used to write languages like Sanskrit and Nepal Bhasa (Newari).

About a “Traveling Artist” – Jayson Yeoh
Self-taught artist Jayson Yeoh has a passion for art since young. His pursuit for art creation is relentless and never wavers. A skilled watercolourist, he is always obsessed with the magical quality and versatility of this water media.
Over the years, through his continuous exploration and practice, Jayson has developed a distinctive personal style. His works clearly demonstrate an artistic language unique to himself.
To him, life’s surroundings and the vast nature are his best teachers. They provide him with unlimited source of inspirations and creative sparks.
Jayson loves to travel and always bring with him his sketchbooks and art tools.
Sketching while traveling becomes an important part of his travel itinerary; and is one of the main catalysts for his constant travels.
He has recorded in his sketchbooks, many beautiful artworks and sketches, notes and information, as well as countless new creative ideas!
‘Sketching while traveling’ has enabled him to walk out of the studio and his own limitations, while opened up limitless possibilities.
It also taught him valuable lessons – to observe the world, to know the world, and to create the worlds he sees through his own eyes.
‘Sketching while traveling’ is a journey for enlightenment and knowledge. It is also an alternative method to treasure a memory by in-depth understanding, both visually and audibly.
To Jayson, the ultimate objectives of traveling and sketching are not the artworks created or the opportunity to see magnificent landscapes and rivers, but his interactions with the environment and the community, his means of observing the world, and those people and things, which had touched him one way or another along the journey. They not only broadened his horizons, but also enriched his personal feelings.
Such experiences make him grow as an artist to create better works, and at the same time encourage him to keep moving towards his artistic journey.
Sunspot Loops in Ultraviolet

Explanation: It was a quiet day on the Sun. The above image shows, however, that even during off days the Sun's surface is a busy place. Shown in ultraviolet light, the relatively cool dark regions have temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius. Large sunspot group AR 9169 is visible as the bright area near the horizon. The bright glowing gas flowing around the sunspots has a temperature of over one million degrees Celsius. The reason for the high temperatures is unknown but thought to be related to the rapidly changing magnetic field loops that channel solar plasma. Sunspot group AR 9169 moved across the Sun during 2000 September and decayed in a few weeks.

*** Personal Note ***
This is the original set back in 2014. If there was any type of editing done, I used the free Avery photo editor here Flickr. My Opinion... it wasn't the best but I had no prior knowledge of editing them back then. Plus I only shot in .jpg format not in .raw and I didn't do the best by over coloring and over saturation. There are some in this set this way. I was very under experienced in photo editing back then.

Always good storm chasing stories to tell about my weather adventures in 2014.
Days right after my knee replacement... Home from the hospital & I definitely wasn't supposed to be out and about. Knee was almost in a cast and I wasn't supposed to be doing anything to aggravate the situation. Though my quest for severe weather never ends and I wasn't going to miss another possible chase especially when its in my backyard. This storm was going to be a photogenic monster... Decision was made & off I went.
I wasn't out for long as the storm has now passed over to the north of the city. Wasn't the wisest of ideas to go out. I headed back home & as I pulled into the drive, the backside edge of the updraft had this incredible mammatus display. It was just a bit north of the city & I had a phenomenal view of this storm as it passed almost directly overhead. Sunlight that was cresting against this was simply incredible. So much detail in these mammatus clouds I couldn't quit taking snaps.
Another epic set of thunderstorm captures from South Central Nebraska. Though I paid for it with my knee just being replaced. I was super sore and the swelling was unreal a few days after this event. All worth it when it comes to what epic views I caught storm chasing on that particular day!

The concept of innate knowledge is not novel to the Nene. It seems to be much more common amongst avian species but it isn't simply something associated with our feathered friends. At Slimbridge, some nene goslings are incubated, hatched, brooded and reared by their parent geese. Like the one in this photo, is spends its waking hours scouring the surroundings, grazing and browsing on local flora. It seems to know exactly which plants to choose and which to avoid. The obvious thought would be that mom and dad have taught it just what to pick and what to leave behind.
On the other hand Slimbrige staff also incubate, hatch, brood and raise a number of nene goslings separately. It's necessary in order to maintain populations on the refuge, as many naturally reared goslings are lost to local predators. Aside from the daily practice of yoga, which this gosling seems to be engaged in, these goslings demonstrate the same selectivity when grazing and browsing as their naturally reared brothers and sisters. This would suggest some form of innate knowledge since these goslings have no contact with parent geese, until they have paired up and are released back into the wild. The opportunity for further research boggles my mind. There is just so much that we don't understand. #NeneGoslings #Slimbridge
