A couple had watched JJ take a photo of Tim and me by the Chain Bridge, Hungary and asked if he could take a photo for them!
The Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Lánchíd) on a cold foggy winter night from the shore of the Danube looking towards Pest. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849.
I did quite a bit of walking along the cold Danube that cold and foggy night to get this shot, but it seems to have been well worth it. I have another shot of this same scene that has a longer exposure which blurs the water more. At some point I'll upload it, but I liked the water better on this shorter exposure.

"Széchenyi lánchíd or Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849.
Its two ends are:
Roosevelt Square (with the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences), and
Adam Clark Square (the Zero Kilometer Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle).
The bridge is named after István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction. At the time of its construction, it counted as a wonder of the world. It had an enormous significance in the country's economics and life. Its decorations made of cast iron, and its construction, radiating calm dignity and balance, raised it among the most beautiful industrial monuments in Europe. It became a symbol of advancement, national awakening, and the linkage between East and West."

Markarian's chain had a late night to capture this didn't start imaging until 02:30 am. Taken on 12/01/2014 15 x600 secs. Counted 41 objects in total hard to believe a 80mm telescope can pick up so many galaxies. Annotated image can found here www.flickr.com/photos/nightcasper/11908347965/
Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. It is called a chain because, when viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. It was named after the Armenian astrophysicist, B. E. Markarian, who discovered their common motion in the early 1960s. Member galaxies include M84 (NGC 4374), M86 (NGC 4406), NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435. It's located at RA 12h 27m and Dec +13° 10′.
At least seven galaxies in the chain appear to move coherently, although others appear to be superposed by chance.

Our model Kimberly has a very active imagination. She wanted to do a shoot at a local cemetery with her has a witch. OK, let's do it. Fun shoot, Kim looked gorgeous and we would have stayed longer but they were locking the gates for the evening. Didn't want to be stuck there! I took these photos in early November 2020.

Taken in Coverack harbour, Cornwall. Does the seaweed mimic the ropes holding the chains, or do the chains hold the seaweed?
Here in blue, you can see 4 twisted chain stitches I worked it in the round to get the pink flower, which I really like. The purple flower is just 5 Lazy Daisy petals of ribbon floss placed over (and between) 5 Lazy Daisy petals of Rainbow Gallery Flair. Then there is the French Knot Lazy Daisy, where the tie-down stitch is a French knot instead of just a straight stitch. Each peach bud is a FKLD done around a padded straight stitch. The turquoise ribbon flower shows 6 petals of FKLD with the knots in the center. The two maroon flowers show FKLD with knots in the center and then with knots on the outer edge.

Just a shot of a chain, with cold winter behind it.

Chained Rock is located at the top of Pine Mountain in Pine Mountain State Resort Park. In this photo, the chain doesn't look very big; but, I can assure you it is huge when you see it up close.
According to legend, some children of Pineville, Kentucky (the town that sits directly beneath Pine Mountain) were afraid that the large rock outcropping that loomed over Pineville would come tumbling down and destroy the town.
Apparently, the parents of these children would tell them there was no need to worry because the big rock was chained to the mountain.
In 1933, a group of local citizens, members of the CCC, the Kiwanians, and the Boy Scouts, formed the “Chained Rock Club” in order to generate added tourist revenue for the new state park.
On June 24, the club obtained a huge chain from an old steam shovel from a Virginia quarry. The chain weighed a 1.5 tons. It had to be cut in half before a four-mule team could pull each portion up the mountain in two trips.
Atop the mountain, the crew welded the chain back together, and stretched it 101 feet from the rock (approx. 200 ft. x 75 ft.) to the cliff with steel rods, two feet long. The holes were drilled by hand.
