a kind of self-portrait

Rambling up the southern side of the Heiligenberg, across the Neckar from the castle, one will find the Philosopher's Walk. Its name, it is said, stems from the fact that university professors and philosophers walked there, perhaps using the solitude of the forest and the incredible views of the city and surrounding area for inspiration. If you visit Heidelberg during the summer months, you will notice an interesting feature about the Philosopher's Walk – it has a climate which is much more temperate, almost Mediterranean-like, than that of the valley. In fact, you will see many plants growing here that normally cannot thrive in the northern, more milder weather, such as lemon trees, pomegranates, cypresses, and palm trees...

Explored [Sep 6, 2016]

 

We happened to meet the three of us: the intruder, the bird and this amazing spotlight. I say I was the luckiest...

These items were part of a Thomas Aquinas class I attended.

Picture from "Kolmården" in Sweden.

The temple Reikan-ji (霊鑑寺) from 1654 is only open a few weeks a year, in the spring and in late fall. It's close to the famous philosophers' path.

The text in english is: " Things are born, grow up, disappear and come back with the same infinite movement of love"...Amerindian Wisdom.

(I hope the translation is good, if not, please let me know and correct me, thank you! :)

En français: "Les choses naissent, grandissent, disparaissent et reviennent avec le même mouvement infini d'amour"...Sagesse Amerindienne

‘This item is likely to increase in value as the years pass….’ it says on the box. lol. Gift shopping at QAG.

North wing of the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto; behind this door is the Philosopher's Gallery event space. This is the original 1914 building designed by the firm Darling and Pearson. Intruding on it is the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal designed by Daniel Libeskind and opened in 2007.

From Saving the world from war to eating a good meal, anything could be his thought in that particular moment. No chance of knowing for sure.

 

Waist level shot.

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

 

I took philosophy in university, loved the course, Socrates was one of my favourites.

No ape this time, but the similarity to the human thinking pose is striking nonetheless.

Cat deeply thinking about the human dilemma

Pelicans look like old Philosophers to me. The have such a serious look on their faces and the way the flock together, makes me think that they are busy with some very serious discussion.

 

This one was shot at the Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata.

 

The zoo is in a pathetically bad shape today, with only a few creatures left for people to see. But I like going back to this place every winter to see the migratory birds that come. Sad thing is that, with pollution increasing day by day, the number of the birds flying in is decreasing very rapidly.

I wasn't planning on posting today, until I suddenly remembered having captured some fences after our visit to the museum last week. What a smile when I stumbled onto this image - one of many but one of a kind from that day. It immediately reminded me of the very mood of Philosopher's Walk.

 

HFF after all!
