A Macro Mondays submission on the topic 'cloth". The texture of a woollen sweater, bought 50 years ago while living in Oxford, UK.
Taken for Macro Monday theme of "cloth" on 30th September 2024
Machine knitted cotton jumper. Pleated up into folds. Fairly diffuse ight from nearby window on very overcast day.
Colours flattened out in attempt to emphasise textures.
Not entirely happy with it if I'm honest. Wont take offense if folk suggest improvements.
Happy Macro Monday
Amsterdam Jewish Museum. Seeing the Nazis' hated yellow star multiplied a thousandfold on an uncut bolt of cloth gives new perspective on the scale of the atrocity. Now imagine a thousand bolts of cloth.

My almost shot for Macro Monday. This time I was using my lensbaby and all my extension tubes, side lit with an LED lamp. Hand held.
Podcienia krakowskich Sukiennic. Bardzo je lubię :)
The Cloth Hall (Polish: Sukiennice) in Kraków, Lesser Poland, dates to the Renaissance and is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978). It was once a major centre of international trade. Traveling merchants met there to discuss business and to barter. During its golden age in the 15th century, the hall was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the east – spices, silk, leather and wax – while Kraków itself exported textiles, lead, and salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine. The hall has hosted many distinguished guests over the centuries and is still used to entertain monarchs and dignitaries, such as Charles, Prince of Wales and Emperor Akihito of Japan, who was welcomed here in 2002. Aside from its history and cultural value, the hall still is still used as a center of commerce. On the upper floor of the hall is the Sukiennice Museum division of the National Museum, Kraków.

The Cloth Hall (Dutch: Lakenhal or Lakenhalle) is a large cloth hall, a medieval commercial building, in Ypres, Belgium. The original structure was erected mainly between 1200 and 1304, in the Gothic style. It was one of the largest commercial buildings of the Middle Ages, when it served as the main market and warehouse for the Flemish city's prosperous cloth industry. At 125 metres (410 ft) in breadth, with a 70 metres (230 ft)-high belfry tower, it recalls the importance and wealth of the medieval trade city.
The hall lay in ruins after artillery fire devastated Ypres in World War I.Between 1933 and 1967, it was meticulously reconstructed to its prewar condition, under the guidance of architects J. Coomans and P. A. Pauwels. The building now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum. In 1999, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France site, in recognition of their unique architecture, role in the advancement of civil liberties, and their civic, not religious, influence.
