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!

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!....

A closer look at the Roman fresco (circa 1-50 AD)
The seated man is identified as a cynic philosopher; he has bare feet, as well as unkempt beard and clothing. He is depicted in conversation/discussion with a woman, possibly a courtesan. Some scholars have speculated that this might be a painting of Socrates and Diotima.
Los Angeles; July 2021
Walking through George Square at the University today, have walked here many times and yet hadn't noticed this carving above the door lintel on this building. Zoomed in, appears to be Albertus Magnus, medieval German theologian and philosopher, later promoted to full on Saint.
Ambulans Tolle philosophus .
Harmonias abstinentibus crudelitatis primitiva fabulas ,
fanaticorum deliria sacrificia fieri ,
quod communicant in cordibus stupebunt,
skepticism ut paradoxa facit mysteria flectere ,
cum signa contrariam satus super,
coepit benigniorem tuus contemptionem ostendunt ?
Cuius minimum gustum elit ,
Præcipitabit mortem tuam avertis inconcinnus doctrina ?
Finge hæsitationibus tuum sicut INDIFFERENS ora tumescere
indifferentiam intellectualiter periculosum general suus tenuit ,
propter venias ad obediendum GREGARIUS singuli quaerentes ,
jam tenaces philosophizers nolentes audire ,
ridiculum sententia tua pereas verbis subtilius hinc ,
haec TUMOROSUS ones designare obligando cessantibus oculo pietatis ,
Hactenus principia superfluo systematice irridebant values ,
derangement temperamenta ornare impatienter profundum abyssi ,
Dubius aures oratione opponit male,
Philosophus de facto indignatus explicationes apparet ,
Satis fucata haec sunt gradus ,
ambulare a repudium monstra furorem scholis ,
quibus animalium non vivere stridor dentium.

Can you help in a dermination ? I have strange amazing stones, I think they must be somewhat related to galena, but in a rare form ... limonite goethite pseudomorphs of galena with a path on marcassite pyrite ... is that possible ? some have the same core colour as a marcassite inside, but the outside is crystallised in galena forms ... ! they are find in limestone (old ocean 150 000 000 years old, fossil are commonly found) They are brownish red to black and rarely oxidised pyrite colour when freshly extracted from the broken calcareous stones.

Took this photo, using a Contax 60mm F/2.8 Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* MM C/Y Mount Lens on my K5 (thanks to the Multi-mount PK+MM for Pentax weather sealed DSLR). (pict is processed and cropped.)
I use these great Carl Zeiss lenses : Distagon* 35mmF2.8 ; Sonnar* 135mmF2.8 ; a Planar* 50mmF1.4, and Makro-Planar 60mm F/2.8 on my Pentax K-5 thanks to this system !
The nicest parts of this long sakura path I think is where the canal curves.
The canal waters are very clean, you can clearly see large wild carp feeding on waterweeds at the canal bottom.
Tackling colors with this RAW, moving away from Sony defaults, beyond mere tweaks to hue and WB or colour balance, got to experiment.
The previous shot was still with default Sony colour profile.
Can't help but to also wonder if it's the overly cold colour signature of this Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f4.0, my shots with this lens never grew on me.
