barefoot at the ummayad mosque


this place is so beautiful...
that you can even point the camera at your feet and take a good picture.

intellectuals

“The word intellectual strikes me as odd. Personally I’ve never met any intellectuals…On the other hand, I’ve met a lot of people who talk about ‘the intellectual.’ And, listening to them, I’ve got some idea of what such an animal could be. It’s not difficult – he’s quite personified. He’s guilty about pretty well everything: about speaking out and about keeping silent, about doing nothing and about getting involved in everything…In short, the intellectual is raw material for a verdict, a sentence, a condemnation, an exclusion…”
- Michel Foucault
