Close-up view of label on bottom of vintage, asbestos stove mat. The asbestos mat is a dense cardboard-like material with visible chrysotile bundles mixed throughout its surface. A "Masonware" product of Providence, Rhode Island.
🍄 La magie de la forêt : l’automne les voit pousser tantôt sur un vieux tronc puis sur un couvert de mousse. L’un est comestible, l’autre non.
La nature nous réserve toujours des surprises incroyables ! 🌿✨
A close-up photo of a giraffe, taken on a safari trip in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, Africa.
This photo was taken using an M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro lens @135mm.
See where this photo was taken (approximately - the coordinates are a bit out of sync...)
This is a close-up photo of areas of different texture and pattern in the sand at Clam Harbour Beach.
Close-up - I used room lighting for a warm color and an LED reading light for a little extra twinkle in her eyes and shine in her hair.
is not afraid of anything
not insects, crawling biting things
not mountain tops, from many fall
not heights, though very tall
not grizzly bears with claws so sharp
not steep and rocky dangerous scarps
not loneliness, although it hurts
not being stranded in dry deserts
not getting lost or feeling pain
not being stuck out in the rain
not being giving up upon
not staying awake until the dawn
not fighting or losing a good friend
not reaching her untimely end
not falling and scraping herself up
not being seen from very closeup
not living or dying completely alone
not being made out as a fool
is not afraid of anything
but you.

Close-up/macro view of the Tex-Knit brand "miracle" ironing-board cover material, with high-percentage chrysotile-asbestos. The particular cotton-asbestos textile blend is advertised as "ASBESTON" and winner of a 1947 safety award on the product's labeling; made by U.S. Rubber Co. and Textile Mills of Chicago, Illinois.
Most of the fabric material that is visible in the image is chrysotile asbestos.
Detail of fiberglass fibers and bundles protruding from an edge of calcium-silicate pipe insulation material. Often with a higher heat-rating and a very similar appearance to asbestos magnesia insulation, this highly fibrous, vintage non-asbestos material was designed to compete with and eventually replace asbestos magnesia insulations.
The fiberglass material demonstrated above depicts a visually peculiar display of rather interestingly-shaped, straight, translucent fibers and bundles protruding throughout the insulation matrix; exhibiting characteristics somewhat unique, though not entirely exclusive for this material, such as: relatively uniform fiber width and straightness, cut bundle terminations, fiber elasticity, certain microscopic optical properties, etc.
Close-up of antique example of woven asbestos brake lining sample from a school exhibit of asbestos products by Keasbey & Mattison Company (K&M).
Detail depicts fibrous nature of textile brake lining material and also shows metal wiring interwoven within material.
Yesterday we had a super close-up encounter with 2 young white-tail fawn siblings and for the first time I realized the only short-coming of my new 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR fixed focal length lens: the inability to zoom back the lens, if needed.
I managed to fire-off about 20 quality head shots but I would have liked a few full-body shots and perhaps a shot of the 2 fawns in the same frame, but I was simply too close for the lens. None-the-less, if this is the worst of my problems with wildlife photography then I really have nothing to complain about, and I absolutely love this new lens for its sharpness and fast-focusing (not to mention its light weight and size!)!

Head close-up of the bronze of a woman runner by Bill Epp. Martensville, Saskatchewan, Canada. 4 August 2013.
Top-side close-up view of vintage sample of an asbestos-lined covering showing attached metal label indicating "Frost King".
A cardboard label on the sample's reverse-side indicates the layered material was used as a radiator and engine cover and was made by The Cincinnati Auto Specialty Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A.
Close-up view of labeled asbestos-paper backing on vintage metallic hot pad. Ink printed label indicates: "NESCO-METAL-BESTOS".
Careful examination of the paper material reveals relatively "large", chatoyant chrysotile fiber bundles mixed within the paper.
Label also demonstrates yet another example of vintage asbestos product marketing and branding incorporating derivations of the word, "ASBESTOS", in this case: NESCO-METAL-BESTOS.
