View in the Belgian town of Ypres. Actually the town is in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium and there the name is Ieper - but the French name of the town were made quite (in)famous during the First World War, and still more commonly used by English speakers.
The view here is of the Cloth hall (Lakenhalle van Ieper or Les Halles aux draps d'Ypres) originally built in the 13th century. The building was more or less completely destroyed in the First World War and the one now standing is a (very well done) copy of the original (built in the 1930s-60s).

A small group of us, led by Andy Cook, valiantly set off on the hike to Red Rock Falls. And then the rain began. And then got harder. And then the hail fell. Taking cover under a sparse tree I was soon find out that my new Shimoda backpack was up to the task. I couldn’t get to the rain cover without exposing the contents to drenching rain. Didn’t need to. Everything on the inside was dry. Had we not already made it relatively close to the falls I confirmed with Andy later that we would have turned back. But fortunately, on we went. It continued to rain, and hail a bit, but slacked off to a tolerable degree. Climbing around the rocks near the head of the falls wasn’t dangerous per se but to this sea level guy, still a bit nerve racking. But the views!!!! My microfiber cloth was already drenched and I didn’t know if the images would be ruined by rain drops on the lens, but everything turned out fine. This is my favorite image of the trip, enhanced greatly by the experience of getting it. It’s an HDR composite of 36 imaged taken from the top to the bottom of the falls in segments and then put together in Lightroom. (Thank you Adobe) (Sony a1, 16-35mm lens at 16mm, f/16, ISO 125 (which I’m sure I thought was on 100 at the time) and shutter speeds from 1/320 second to 1/5 of a second.)
Here is the third capture taken for the Monday Macro Theme. This one is slightly farther back allowing for more of the fabric foot being in the frame ... but there (2) was at f/32 this one is at f/8 creating that pretty bokeh effect ... this may be my favorite (though there is a version (4) at f/13 that looks neat too, but that one will not get posted).
This coming Monday's Macro theme is cloth ... so I started thinking about some interesting ways to capture some cloths. I settled on getting the macro of the cloth in some sewing action.
This of course meant I would have to engage Mrs. Krach. First off this required me to enter her sewing room which meant I needed to get a 'Permit" to enter the space.
Do not want to mention the Red Tape needed to actually touch the new sewing machine ...
I then searched through some of the fabrics laying about, and this one with the blue cloth and sequins I imagined would make for some nice reflections and bokeh.
Given all the preparatory permits and permissions needed to set this up, I took a bunch of close in compositions at various apertures to play with depth of field. So will posting some variations to see which folks like the most before submitting the final one to the Macro Monday group coming up.
Made from a local Hmong hilltribe these infant shoes have been designed to embody the bright decorative textile work distinct to the Hmong people. Pa ntau or flower cloth sports bold geometrical design in bright contrasting colours.
Macro Monday's...… Theme " Cloth "
A colourful woven wool scarf with fringes.
Thanks for the views,faves and comments,very much appreciated.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Texture".
I bought a cheap pack of four microfibre cloths for use in the car and I quickly settled on these while looking for a subject for this week's theme.
I decided to use all four of them for a more colourful image and arranged them on our table and used my torch to illuminate the scene.
This is a roll of upholstery fabric which has stood in a corner being ignored for the last year. It is meant to be used to cover one of a pair of armchairs which we bought from an antique shop. We decided to upholster both chairs ourselves which was quite the learning curve! We managed to complete one chair but the exertions of doing that meant we were in no rush to do the other one. It's on a list of things to do but unfortunately keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

Eva Petric: Human Cocoon
"As a stylised stem cell, a cocoon hovers in front of red blood cells of three people as a symbol of the diversity of humanity. On 8 April, the cocoon transforms into the installation "Human Butterfly @ ArtScienceSpirituality" - a triad of human butterflies that will then float on the ceiling of St. Stephen's Cathedral until 5 June." volksgruppen.orf.at/slovenci/meldungen/stories/3196062/
