My alternative shot for this week's Macro Mondays theme of Arrow.
It's a commemorative coin, that depicts a flaming arrow, through all points of the compass.
I was torn between this 'obvious' arrow shot and a more subtle one, which I eventually submitted: www.flickr.com/photos/kev_gregory_general/31060216200/in/...
66741 heads a diverted 6S45 North Blyth to Fort William loaded Alumina working through a deserted Wylam station, on the 23rd October 2021. Although the ECML was shut for several weekends in September and October I believe this was the only occasion that the Fort William 'Alcans' Saturday working operated via the Tyne Valley line during this period.

I saw a shot of this from another of my contacts, Simon, and it is what drew me to the location. I just thought it was such an unusual angle on a bridge.
A Barn Owl behaving badly!😁 They always look so unaerodynamic but are so incredibly agile and beautiful to watch❤️
Senecio candicans "Angel Wings". This plant has such lovely soft leaves. Seen at a local garden centre back in the Spring. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day. We are just about to have a second dinner without the hassle of prepping & roasting. Just pop 2 plates in the microwave & open a bottle of wine.

abstract digital art
This began with a blank canvas. I digitally created one black & white square section with a circle, which I changed to a shaded sphere with shading. After arranging multiple copies on a grid, I processed them in various ways and added color overlays in earth tones.

I came across Ash quite awhile back during the project as I passed by the tattoo shop she worked in on a lunchtime walk with the camera. I peeked in the door as I walked by, partly out of curiosity and partly out of thinking there might be someone interesting who could potential be part of the project. I saw Ash and asked her if I could take her photo but she declined.
Now being at 99 in the project I was determined to round it off with a portrait of a person with lots of colour, interesting and full of life. Partly out of slight desperation I mustered the strength to ask Ash again, perhaps a better explanation of the project might change her mind. This time she agreed, though hesitant. I showed her the other photos in the project which helped, I think. She couldn't step out of the shop immediately since there were customers, so we arranged a time straight after work several days later. I arrived exactly on time and Ash had brilliant deep pink lipstick complimenting her dark glasses, tattoos and top. I suggested a small arcade several doors down the road. I wanted to get her tattoo in the frame and used an outside chair to get her arm at a suitable height. I was able to take more photos than I usually would and appreciated Ash's willingness to try a few different shots. Ash was very warm, friendly and easy to talk to, making it a very enjoyable time. We had some genuine conversation about several things including her tattoos and piercings. She does makeup professionally and I spoke about eventually doing weddings and the next potential photographic project. The photos looked great and we exchanged details so I could send her the edited photos. Ash was a beautiful subject for the last photo in the project. Thanks Ash! Hope you like the photos.
### Noone ever told me ##### - All through the project I have encouraged my participants to download a copy of their photo from flickr. I found out just before these shots of Ash that you needed to set up a Yahoo/flickr account to download a photo. If I had known that I would have changed my approach to providing copies to my subjects. I feel disappointed that I made it difficult, even prevented my participants from having their photo. It would have been easily solved if only I had known. You learn something everyday!
This picture is number 100 in my 100 Strangers project.

intentional blur in the park. After 15 attempts I got a result that I liked ... the charm of the randomness.
So there I was, just trying to take a nice, normal thumb selfie when I get photo-bombed by this guy. But wait, that may be "fake news".... this is actually a newly hatched dragonfly that I found perched on the stairway leading to the lake and transferred to my thumb for a photo before his wings were capable of flight. In fact, alert viewers will note that his eyes remain cloudy, the protective coating still in place.
Please be advised that I neither "shoved" nor "body-slammed" him, nor did a single Russian influence me in the creation of this picture. And if the quality may be somewhat questionable, it is not because it was leaked by thousands of "anonymous sources close to and familiar with the circumstances." Rather the simple truth, without opinion, supposition, or innuendo, is that it was extremely difficult to keep the camera still with one hand while a dragonfly sat on the other. So endeth my Sunday op-ed.
I think I'm a little obsessed with Millenium bridge as this was a return to it just a week after I shot here for the Blue Feet image which I wasn't totally happy with.
I think this is a bit of an alternative view to what is normally shot. I quite like the multiple leading lines although might not be to some people's tastes.
