(I meant to lower case the 'd' in the title. Lol)
I went walking to find things to take pictures of today. I was inspired to take some B&W shots because of a 'history of photography' show I had been watching earlier. So I was in awe of how many photo opportunities came to greet me when I was actually feeling inspired by something. hehe
thank you to Sarah for the testimonial. lately ive been feeling like I should quit photography or something, but because of everyones support i keep telling my mind to stick it out.
ps. guys, i would never quit dont worry, i love photography too much :P its just dumb thoughts in my mind.

Benjamin Markarian who died on 29 September 1985 was an Armenian astrophysicist who gave his name to Markarian's Chain of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster after he discovered that this string of galaxies moves with a common motion. The Virgo Cluster is the nearest cluster of galaxies and contains over 2000 galaxies. It has a noticeable gravitational pull on the galaxies of our own Local Group of Galaxies which surround our Milky Way. The centre of the Virgo Cluster is located about 70 million light-years away toward the constellation of Virgo.
This image shows part of Markarian's Chain and is marked by the Messier galaxies M84 and M86 to the right and the interacting pair of galaxies NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, known as The Eyes or ARP 120, in the centre of the image. There are many small, faint galaxies in this image.
The image comprises 20 luminance and eight each of RGB subs, all of five minutes exposure.

I just couldn't find the chain I wanted to use for this weeks theme, so in the end used the chain from my cross. Turned it to mono as it looked better, or I think it does.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

world but I said no in thunder.
I was a dog on a short chain
and now there's no chain."

Just over the bridge by the first segment of Chain Lake - a wild lake in the Harrison Hills. There is a campsite here if you want to trek in.
"Macro Mondays".. "Chain". This chain & sprocket are unused and date back to the 1960s. I had to open two BMC "British Motor Corporation" parts packets to photograph these items. The oily appearance is the original anti-corrosion preservative.
