This image represents a character who only plays in some of our casts: The Philosopher.
This character is the most unsung hero of the entire cast collection. Not only is the Philosopher rarely utilized but his very existence is barely known, buried 6ft under stigma. To paraphrase Seneca; the Philosopher builds the personality, orders one's life, regulates one's conduct and sits at the helm, keeping one on the correct course despite being tossed about in perilous seas.
Through their flow of constant rationality, they're able to analyze our behavioural thought patterns and in short, reveal what we ought to do and what we ought to not.

In reflection of humankind, I no longer see any soul or overall governing self in individuals. There is no Jay Cloud, there is only a network of characters and desires competing for attention and control.
A philosopher once said "It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results". Well, they do not.

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...
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!
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...

Kind of an awkward question.

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

Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary. ~Patrick F. McManus
Dear friends and visitors, this is the last picture from Flores. Now comes Christmas and after i invite you to travel along with me to some ancient places and volcanos of Java. Thank you so much for following so far.
I wish everyone of you happy holidays and - if you celebrate it - a merry Christmas!
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.
Four headless statues were found in the triclinium of the Villa of Dionysus in Dion. Three of the heads were found during excavations in the atrium. One of the statues has the long hair and beard typical of many philosopher portraits. This one, on the other hand, depicts a beardless man with close-cropped hair. He sits in a chair with a rounded back, wears the philosopher's himation, and holds a scroll in his left hand.
The art historian Paul Zanker suggested that this may be a portrait of a member of the aristocratic family associated with the villa, having himself depicted as a philosopher to show his devotion to philosophy.
The statues date to the later second century.
