These rocks have been smashed by waves like this ever since Bass Strait was flooded at the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago. And we worry about miniscule rates of sea level change and tiny increases in temperature.

Tracks vanishing in the mist have a strange symbolism. Like to never take a train to some other world as master Miyazaki had portayed. The train would be full of spooky strangers anyway. Only ghosts could travel to such a mist. And yet, the hope lingers. Or is it a fear of that actually happening one day? To fly away or to become a ghost, there is no difference...
Die gefährlichste aller Weltanschauungen ist die Weltanschauung der Leute, welche die Welt nicht angeschaut haben.
Alexander von Humboldt
The most dangerous of all philosophies is the belief of the people who have not looked at the world .

As every year, on the third Thursday of November, we celebrate World Philosophy Day. We are few philosophers and not very well known, but our activity of reflection and teaching of this wonderful discipline is increasingly important in these complicated times we live in.
I personally teach philosophy to young people and it is the most exciting activity I have ever done.
Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant are the great minds that will help us to understand ourselves. Sapere Aude!
Happy World Philosophy Day
There was a Voice that spokes:
Do not be afraid of the fog,
go in,
with good intentions,
and learn your lessons well,
so the wisdom will take you by the hand,
and lead you on paths of light.
Good Intentions-G.Rafferty

It's all here, the light and dark side of life, of us. The bud, stands for potential. The petals, protection or a cage? Tell me more little flower.

Recently I took a visit to Bruny Island off the south eastern coast of Tasmania. As we move through this series I hope to be able to enlighten you of all the beautiful things it has to offer visitors.
To kick things off I want to show you some infrared photographs taken around the Cape Bruny Lighthouse at dawn. Infrared provides us with a particularly high contrast look. In this instance I was struck by the way the infrared light is reflecting off the clouds behind the lighthouse. You can actually see the brightest point of the sun's infrared rays about halfway up the lighthouse.
This is the third oldest lighthouse in the country (1836) and the light itself stands 114 metres above sea level. It was designed and built under the direction of Tasmania's most famous colonial architect, John Lee Archer (1791-1852).

Oh yeah, it's that stink bug again.... we were chatting for a while a few days ago... and no matter how small the little rascal was, it felt like it was constantly looking down on me.... well, not as a person then but as a human being... as a representative of the idiocy of evolution.. and/or the creator's bizarre humor... and once again it felt like we need to do more to care for our dear planet, our mother Gaia... and it feels like we're on the right track.. NOT!!
Think about how strangely unexpected encounters can make thoughts fly.... Show less

(Currently the translation "I am looking for honest man." is being used to make meaning more clear and to avoid possible double meaning.
Until the philosophy, I will like to divide it with those which want to learn...
Which hold one race
Superior and another, inferior
Is finally, and permanently
Discredited and abandonned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. It argues that if machine brains surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently intelligent machines could improve their own capabilities faster than human computer scientists, and the outcome could be an existential catastrophe for humans.
#1 Believe and it shall be yours.
#2 Where there is hope there can be faith. Where there is faith, miracles can occur.
#3 Hope is desperation. Faith is relaxation.
#4 May we grow beautiful as we grow wise.
#5 The one great thing about life is laughter
#6 How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word. grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.
#7 One of the best tools for longevity and good health is not just taking a walk outdoors, but taking your walk while holding the hand of God. When we walk in gratitude for each and every moment, we empower ourselves by empowering our spirits. When we breathe in nature through our eyes, ears and lips, we become certain that not only are our souls eternal, but that God knows how to manage our lives, our troubles, our worries and our days better than we do. So today and everyday "let go and let God".
Lens is the chunky Minolta MC Rokkor QE 100mm f3.5 Macro. In fairness I should be comparing this lens to my Pentax-M 100mm f4 macro, rather than the Rikenon. Both the Rokkor and the Pentax will focus down to half life-size.
The Pentax 'M' design philosophy was to produce lenses that were elegant, light, and compact. Almost all had a 49mm filter thread. The focus ring on the Pentax is buttery smooth and superbly dampened.
In contrast the Rokkor is like a brick (592g vs just 378g) and utilitarian in design. Yes, the lens is a smidgin faster (f3.5 vs f4), though not enough to justify the weight difference. Filter thread is 55mm. The focus ring moves in a way that suggests the lens has seen plenty of use.
While the two lenses handle quite differently, I do like the solid feel of the early Rokkor lenses.
The results so far look very nice.
As a comparison, I had photographed this same clump of daises just over a year ago - with the Rikenon.

Remember, you can never have too many macro lenses.
