What you will find in Heaven
First attempt of the Philosopher
Trying to leave the desert

Die Erde befindet sich im Himmel
Der erste Versuch des Philosophen, die Wüste zu verlassen.

Wer strebend sich bemüht, den können wir erlösen.
J.W.v.Goethe (Faust II)
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.
Rhododendron is a very large genus of about 1,024 species of woody plants in the heath family (Ericaceae). They can be either evergreen or deciduous.
Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia.
It is the national flower of Nepal, the state flower of Washington and West Virginia in the United States, the state flower of Nagaland and Himachal Pradesh in India, the provincial flower of Jiangxi in China and the state tree of Sikkim and Uttarakhand in India.
Most species have brightly colored flowers which bloom from late winter through to early summer.
TOXICOLOGY: Some species of rhododendron are poisonous to grazing animals because of a toxin called grayanotoxin in their pollen and nectar.
People have been known to become ill from eating honey made by bees feeding on rhododendron and azalea flowers.
The Greek military leader, philosopher, and historian Xenophon described the odd behaviour of Greek soldiers after having consumed honey in a village surrounded by Rhododendron ponticum during the march of the Ten Thousand in 401 BCE.
Pompey's soldiers reportedly suffered lethal casualties following the consumption of honey made from Rhododendron deliberately left behind by Pontic forces in 67 BCE during the Third Mithridatic War. (Source: Wikipedia)
RODODENDROS EN CASA, 2024
Rododendro es un género muy grande de aproximadamente 1.024 especies de plantas leñosas de la familia de los brezos (Ericaceae). Pueden ser de hoja perenne o de hoja caduca.
La mayoría de las especies son nativas del este de Asia y la región del Himalaya, pero se encuentran en menor número en otras partes de Asia, América del Norte, Europa y Australia.
Es la flor nacional de Nepal, la flor estatal de Washington y Virginia Occidental en los Estados Unidos, la flor estatal de Nagaland y Himachal Pradesh en la India, la flor provincial de Jiangxi en China y el árbol estatal de Sikkim y Uttarakhand en la India.
La mayoría de las especies tienen flores de colores brillantes que florecen desde finales del invierno hasta principios del verano.
TOXICOLOGÍA: Algunas especies de rododendro son venenosas para los animales que pastan debido a una toxina llamada grayanotoxina en su polen y néctar.
Se sabe que hay personas que enferman por comer miel elaborada por abejas que se alimentan de flores de rododendro y azalea.
El líder militar, filósofo e historiador griego Jenofonte describió el extraño comportamiento de los soldados griegos después de haber consumido miel en una aldea rodeada de Rhododendron ponticum durante la marcha de los Diez Mil en 401 a.C.
Según se informa, los soldados de Pompeyo sufrieron bajas letales tras el consumo de miel hecha de rododendro que las fuerzas pónticas dejaron deliberadamente en el 67 a. C. durante la Tercera Guerra Mitrídates. (Fuente: Wikipedia)

While walking around a park that I had newly discovered, I found this elderly gentleman. He was sitting on some rocks bordering the river, hunched over and intently writing something, while a group of fishermen chatted happily not too far in front of him. I could see that he was an observer of the Jewish faith and, as this was taken on a Saturday (the Sabbath), I presume that he was engaged in some religious reflection.
The shot might have been interesting with everything visible, but I knew that the lighting would make that difficult. I figured that a silhouette shot might work nicely here. Exposure metering was locked on the water. The only thing that I would redo about this shot would be to close down the aperture - the shallow depth of field isn't really necessary when dealing with silhouettes, in my opinion.

He might even be a poet....
Le philosophe dit:
Amis, allez voir le poète,...
Et le poète raconte,...:
Qui a su aimer la Terre,..
a aimé,...L'éternité!....
