Shutter 1/50
F Stop f/8
ISO 200

Beatles fans will know this is not the "Let it Be" Album (I don't have it), but love the song and this is great album cover, so please forgive.
PS - I thought it was interesting that the tile numbers add up to the number 9 and the image around John is significantly faded.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

"The Tree of Knowledge"

This was taken at the foot of a huge old tree in Okinawa, Japan. Something very "wise" about every tree here... this is actually just one small corner of the massive tree!

When I think of widsom, I think of 'old' (like this old car!). But maybe being wise means knowing when it is time to leave old wisdom behind, and learn something new? Here's to hoping the auto industry gains a little 'wisdom': that the days of the gas-guzzlers are at an end, and that it would be wise to move to a more innovative future!

This photo happened by accident, hence the blur, as I set up my scene of The Good Book sitting on the wall/step of an Ancient Okinawan Tomb. My original idea became so much more as my 6 yr. old son sticks his hand in my shot, & I thought "perfect"!

Please draw your own conclusions, but I personally am going for a symbolic wisdom found inside a child reaching out for The Holy Book... the unsure wisdom we call "Faith"... & the Ancient Tomb represents the wisdom one can gain only in the afterlife.

Hi Goldie,

You have really beautiful pictures!! Anyway, just thought I may suggest reading, if you haven't already, the "rules" for posting in the assignments on the first page of this thread.

If I'm not mistaken, you can only submit one official photo per assignment and it's recommended that the size of your photos be no more than 800px on the longest side.

Just thought it'd be a shame for your pretty pictures, which you've obviously spent a lot of time on, to miss out on judging because those "rules" weren't complied to.

And I think you still have time to make the changes!!
