just a few minutes before sunrise looking from the Benalla-Monash Bridge towards the Learning Centre/Library.
Mountain Goat kid and its buddy, a yearling, on the edge of their world atop Mount Evans, Colorado. The yearling seemed like a good buddy to all the kids in this group, playing with them and watching them while the nanny goats foraged.
My first attempt at one of these architectural, B&W long exposures. I'm not going to tell you how many kajillion trillion hours* I spent creating manual selections to try and get the contrast the way I wanted it. Or how much time I spent trying to fix the botched job I made of certain edges.
This is the Glasgow University Library building on Gilmorehill, just off University Avenue. A fairly ugly building if you ask me. I remember my first visits to the library, back in olden days when I was a student. Surfing the early internet on steam-powered computers using Netscape Navigator, and just generally not studying or doing anything remotely academic. Good times.
*may be an exaggeration
that not-at-all-good feeling when you discover an error that requires taking the needles out and unraveling half of your work so far. but such is learning…
“I’m sure the man is becoming slower and more uncertain with every occasion he has to use that picture taking thingy with three legs.” Said Posh Bear smiling as he watched the picture taker set up.
“Yes, Posh, it will be a relief when I don’t do this ever again.” Said Sky.
“Are you going to refuse then, Sky, when he does this next time?” Asked Barnaby in awe.
“No, Barnaby, but I probably won’t be here. I have been talking to Ellie and she was telling me that I should get myself “edicated”. So, that is what I might just do.”
“I think you mean educated, Sky.” Said Posh Bear.
“That as well, I think. I want to be so clever that I can talk to the buzzy things.”
“Anyone can talk to the buzzy things, Sky, it is just a shame they don’t seem to understand what bears say.” Added Bertie, yawning at the thought of all that learning.
“How do you think you are going to do that, Sky? I mean, learn things like talking to buzzy things.” Asked Barnaby.
“It is very easy actually, Barnaby, you just need to know where to go and what sort of things you want to learn.”
“Interesting, so, where do you go, Sky?”
“Ellie says it is a big place lots of walks away and is called a universal, I think, and there you can get all the leans that you want.”
“Wowsers, Sky, that sounds very good. So, you only need to ask them for learns on buzzy things and they give them to you and you come back edicated?” said Barnaby.
“Not quite, Barnaby, but very close. Ellie was saying that this place has lots and lots of learns, so whatever you wanted to learn you just press one of those buttons the man has on his picture viewing thingy and all the learns you want come tumbling down before you. I think.”
“Wowsers and double Wowsers, Sky, that sounds amazing.” Said Bertie getting excited.
“Doesn’t it just.” Replied Posh Bear smiling.
“What do you do with all these learns once you have them, Sky? I mean you can’t just carry them around with you in a bag and if you did, well, how you would find the one you need when you wanted it?” Asked Barnaby scratching his head with his paw. “And, how would you know what you needed if you didn’t know what the learn was about in the first place?”
“Simple, Barnaby, when I get the learns about buzzy things, I’ll also look for a button thingy that shows one how to store them and find them again. These places don’t just have learns about buzzy things; you know?”
“You’re so clever, Sky, I wish I was clever like you.” Said Barnaby full of admiration of his best friend.
“Thank you, Barnaby, and soon I’ll be even more cleverer and then ever cleverer still on top of that.”
“Sky, it doesn’t quite work out like that. I think that Ellie got it slightly wrong.” Said Posh Bear softly.
“What do you mean, Posh? Ellie said she knew.” Replied Sky looking slightly worried.
“The places are called Universities and are for hoomans, not us bears. Also, hoomans are taught what they wish to know by other hoomans called professors who in turn were taught all they know many sleeps before. It isn’t instant, these things take lots and lots of sleeps and is often a total waste of time, because after all that learning the hooman doesn’t put it to use.”
“So, how do us bears get learns, so we can be clever?” Asked Barnaby.
“We use life to learn things, Barnaby, like Sky just now for he has learned a big lesson in who to learn from. Elephants are very clever at elephant things but they don’t understand bear things. If you want to know bear things then you should always ask an older bear.”
Sky looked sad as he thought about what Posh had said but then he quickly brightened up.
“Posh, as an old bear, can you teach me how to speak with the buzzy things please?”
“No Sky, but I can tell you this, watch the buzzy things and learn what they do and then we’ll all be the wiser for what you learn. In the meantime, everyone should try and smile and then we can share that big jar of honey that I have put by, for after the man is finished.”
“Think honey.” Whispered Sky to Bertie and Barnaby and they both forced a smile.

UK designer Thomas Heatherwick masterpiece at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
Resembling a cluster of elongated bee hives, the Learning Hub at Nanyang Technology University explores new ways of teaching at a time when computers and the internet are challenging the rationale of learning institutions.
The hub’s form is dictated by its function, and brings together 55 tutorial rooms into a structure without conventional corridors, which have traditionally created social separation and isolation. The learning hub has no one door, it is porous. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up gradually, with gardens on selected floors.*

Taken with a tilt shift camera to control the vertical distortion, 3 images were stitched together. The 2 students at the bottom of the image forms a focal point in an otherwise empty space.
When I found my first green tiger beetles (Cicindela campestris) I was astonished to see how fast they were running , but pretty soon I managed to at least get some decent photos of them even though I was nowhere near 1:1 magnification.
Practice makes perfect though so eventually I figured out how to get close so this is a shot taken using the Canon MP-E65mm lens set to 2.2:1 magnification which I would have considered ridiculously close at the beginning.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

Juvenile Eagle preparing to grab a fish at Conowingo Dam. As can be seen in the comment box this youngster missed its target and still needs a lot more practice.

We went on a trip to James Island in The Gambia and stopped at the village of Juffureh which is the village where Kunta Kinte lived before being captured and taken into slavery. This little girl was one of many beautiful children that lived in the village. The trip was a very moving experience.
Young women taking a breather outside Curve Theatre. We had just seen War Horse and taking a small refreshment in the watering hole opposite (The Exchange) which is a great place for people watching.
