Macro Mondays theme 5 August 2019: “complementary colours”
Omega sailing bracelets blue and orange (complementary colours ) in rubber and stainless steel.
An alternate to my posted Macro Monday image.
Happy Monday everyone!
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Complementary colours" (nice to see the English/Australian spelling of "colours"!). Some flowers from the garden seen against a blue sky.
Now more commonly known as Strawberry Sticks (Chenopodium foliosum), and edible half hardy annual. Fun to grow but the seedy little fruit do not taste like strawberries and the leaves are too small and coarse to be a decent substitute for spinach.
The tiny flowers are greatly magnified, the better to admire their arrangement.
Thank you for looking - HMM!

Seen in the formal beds at the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, where the spring planting of orange flowers with touches of their complementary blue is inspired by Chevreul’s colour theory, in particular his law of simultaneous contrast - that two juxtaposed hues will be perceived as the most different possible when the brain adds to a perceived hue a little of the complementary of the juxtaposed hue.

The subject for day eleven is "an item of clothing"
A native woodland flower, otherwise known as the Red Catchfly. Other folk names include Robin Hood, Cuckoo Flower and Adder's Flower (the seeds of this flower can be used to treat snakebites).

For this week's Macro Mondays theme "Complementary Colours" I wanted to use reflected light for one of the colours rather than just a solid-coloured object, so I got out my scrapbook paper and a flashlight. After a bit of adjustment, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

This year, we have occasionally been finding small sea stars washed up on the beach. Usually, they are dried up, sun-bleached and very dead.
The ones we found today, however, were bigger, and still very much alive. They were in a sandy tide pool, actively propelling themselves along the sand on tiny tube feet.
We picked up one for a closer look. On it's back, toward the center, but not directly in the center was a bright orange "dot." Zooming in on the dot, it seemed like we were looking at the creatures tiny exposed "brain," but everyone knows, that echinoderms don't have a brain, right?
This cool looking apparatus is called a madreporite. It allows sea water in and out of the sea star, and is basically a fancy looking pressure valve. It is interesting to note that in many sea stars, the coloration of the madreporite contrast sharply with the rest of its body.

The oldest habour in Copenhagen on a beautiful september afternoon.
Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670 to 1675, dug by Swedish prisoners of war from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660. It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermens' catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn for some 18 years.
The first bridge across Nyhavn opened on 1874. It was a temporary wooden footbridge. It was replaced by the current bridge in 1912.[1]
As ocean-going ships grew larger, Nyhavn was taken over by internal Danish small vessel freight traffic. After World War II land transport took over this role and small vessel traffic disappeared from the Port of Copenhagen, leaving Nyhavn largely deserted of ships.
In the mid-1960s, the Nyhavn Society (Danish: Nyhavnsforeningen) was founded with the aim of revitalising the area. In 1977, Nyhavn was inaugurated as a veteran ship and museum harbour by Copenhagen's Lord Mayor Egon Weidekamp. In 1980 Nyhavn quay was pedestrianised; it had been used as a parking area in the previous years which had coincided with a dwindling of harbour activities.
The northern side of Nyhavn is lined by brightly coloured townhouses built with wood, bricks, and plaster. The oldest house, at No. 9, dates from 1681.
Between 1845 and 1864, Hans Christian Andersen lived at No. 67.
Happy Macro Monday!
Today, we did a short tromp through Brown-Lowery Provincial Park. It's about a half hours' drive from Calgary, and preserves some lovely foothills scenery. We walked 10 km's return distance, but surprisingly we did gain around 300 m's with all the ups and downs! They have several gorgeous fields of Fireweed in the park, and while there were many in bloom, it hadn't really peaked yet. Often, we get a lot of great mushrooms growing here, but we only saw a few on this walk. The proliferation of butterflies, however, made up for that.
