Think that’s one of the things I like about macro, you can make something mundane look more interesting!

Cast iron pans with flat bottoms came into use when cooking stoves appeared in the mid 1800's. Before that, kettles and pots were the main utensils in open fireplaces, ovens and pits.

Train Padova-Venezia, Italy

Ces maisons construites en pierre de St Cast et/ou en granite de Languebia. Ces maisons peuvent être datées du 18 et 19ème siècle. Elles sont mitoyennes et leurs façades donnent au Sud du côté de l'estuaire. Les hauts murs de clôture et de défense témoignent de la construction de bâti du littoral sur des terrains submersibles, gagnés sur la mer.

Staircase inside the multi-function building Welle 7 (wave 7) which is located close to the train station.

 

The lighting on the top floor has a different colour temperature than the lights further down, therefore the interesting colour cast.

The 1858 cast iron "Little Cary"building located at 620 Broadway in the NoHo (an acronym for North of Houston St) section of downtown Manhattan.It's labeled as the "little Cary Building"because it's a near copy of a building (also a cast iron structure) built two years before it on 105 Chambers St called by that name.Cast iron façades was an early invention back then and it was used on buildings to make them look like masonry,and they were cheaper than cement.If you zoom in you can see the metal nuts still fastened to the wall and the faux masonry bricks,and even some signs of rust.The six-story,palazzo like structure had to quickly be put up because another building where new inventions from the 1858 World's Fair were being displayed had burned down,some newer items were shown at this new one.That was another reason for the cast iron facade on the new building,because the material was considered "fire proof"daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/01/1858-cast-iron-no-...

The downfall of a man is definitely not the end of life. Therefore, our glory is not in never falling but rising up after each fall.

"Like a stone cast into the sea"...

While barns used to dominate farm sites throughout the countryside, they had a whole supporting cast of other buildings. Sometimes they were small while other times there were quite large buildings that sheltered hogs, sheep or cattle. Hard to tell what this intriguing building was but I suspect at least at one time it held chickens. On our farm, you could put chickens almost anywhere and they would be happy.

For the Paint It Black project on Flickr Friday, this is where my mind went the bottom of the skillet for this frame.

A bronze cast stands in front of the Kongelige Afstøbningssamling, the Danish Royal Cast Collection at the Langelinie Promenade in Copenhagen, though it could not be placed more prominently due to misspelling the artist as "Michael Angelo" in the plaque. (Wikipedia)

Near sunset on the Li River a cormorant fisherman and his birds are framed by a perfect throw of his circular cast net, with the limestone karst mountains in the background. The practice of fishing with cormorants on the Li River (Lijiang) dates back for centuries, but the fish are now disappearing from the river and this will likely be the last generation to fish the river. Captured near Xingping Fishing Village, Guangxi Province, China.

This shot shows the shadow of some peeling lettering on a shop window cast onto a letter L that was part of the window display.

Seems the wind has knocked out my main internet, so will catch up extra slowly :D But when do I ever catch up quickly?

 

Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...

Another autumn day. Sun shined through trees and cast lights on the ground when I hiked down from Mt Kearsarge. Phenomenally trees, branches and ground were lit up. Took to use iPhone 17.

The Northern Pacific Office Building is a three-story historic office building in Tacoma, Washington that served as the headquarters of the Northern Pacific Railway's Tacoma division. Built in 1888, the brick, stucco, stone and cast iron structure stands on a high bluff overlooking the Commencement Bay harbor and extensive railroad switching yards that fan out across the tide flats below at the mouth of the Puyallup River where it flows into Puget Sound.

For the Macro Monday theme "Handmade" (December 916th 2019)

 

Made by fusing natural things such as grass, leaves and stems with molten glass on a bed of sand. Here the overall effect is both natural and abstract, and the 17x15cm square slab of glass glows, translucent in the sunshine. I've shot a 5x4cm segment here (see the shot in the first comment field for the whole block)

The glass artist, Elin Isaksson, makes sand-cast individual pieces as part of her work.

If you are interested to see more, Gallery Heinzel Here has more of her work that her own website ;o)

 

HMM to everyone, and have a happy week ahead ;o)
