"I want to stand as close to the edge as i can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."
-- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

To give something to one's self. Perhaps a selfish act. Perhaps even more so when the goal is to cloak or to create invisibilty. Perhaps to hide the truth, or to create a perceived reality.
Or maybe just to have a little fun making online meetings a bit more interesting.
The edge of a sheet of green fabric. A gift to myself for future online, work related, entertainment.
View of Striding Edge from the last acsent to the summit of Helvellyn, with Red Tarn to the left and Ullswater in the distance. It was great fun clambering along the ridge, the people at the bottom give a bit of scale to the landscape.

Leaning over the edge of the railing to get as much of the Girdwood valley below. Finally had enough snow for the ski resort to fully open for the first time this season. I know, hard to believe that it would snow so late in the year. Global warming, right?
In case it proves somewhat obscure, my entry for this week's Macro Mondays' theme "Edge", is a Jakar craft knife blade, 10 mm x 5 mm, under the edge of a white plate.
My wife and I decided to have a short walk to Stanage Edge today. We parked up at Redmires Reservoirs and walked over the tops. Passing Stanedge Pole, and eventually arriving at Stanage Edge, where we were greeted with stunning views of the Peak District.
A type 26/FW3 pillbox sits atop the soft cliffs at Happisburgh. It knows its fate. Like everything along here, it will be consumed by the North Sea.

The most fun sometime comes from subjects which you least expect to photograph. The occasional challenge is not vision most of the time but sometimes finding the right subject to fit that vision. This can be particularly hard especially when you have to remove distracting elements in your composition. I try not to bound myself by rules although I am attracted to aesthetics and symmetry of any subject. So I do find myself attracted to subjects like this a lot. After processing it for days, I started to notice it’s also has 7 steps leading to 7 poles, which is quite cool. I do believe you can make wonderful work of art from anything you find. I’ve come to believe there’s many more to photograph if you look hard enough, you can come out with something interesting.
Do take your time to enjoy any long exposure or minimalism images. It begs for your attention, try putting yourself "into" the image to experience it's eerie stillness, quietness and the artist message. I think it looks great on someone's study too.

Me on the edge of Preacher's Pulpit or Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) in Norway 604 meters (1982 feet) above sea level....
It was was actually very frightening standing here, my heart was pumping faster then normal that`s for sure :-) But it was a stunning view ........
I love this rose. It's certainly 'splashed' out this year! Too many flowers to count!! I used the Poster Edges Filter just to give it a bit of oomph!!

Nelson's Monument on Birchen Edge with Beeley Moor, East Moor and the grisly sounding Gibbet Moor in the background.
One piece of log creates a small fire, adequate to warm you up, add just a few more pieces to blast an immense bonfire, large enough to warm up your entire circle of friends; needless to say that individuality counts but team work dynamites. ~Jin Kwon

Walk to Chelsea Park & Brincliffe Edge woods - I did find one Celandine that was out but had been trampled so didn't take a photo
Showing off my newest acquisitions <3 love the screening, quality is good, a little bit disappointed in the leg joints, they are a little loose.... but overall all is perfect
Edges. Gullfoss, Iceland.
Finally uploading photos from a short side trip: Ronchamp, France. This is the church Notre Dame de Haute at Ronchamp, by Swiss architect Le Corbusier. Here is the set, though I'd encourage a brief tour of the slideshow. Enjoy this famous and notable work of architecture!
Blue-green water and surf meet the edge of the continent, Big Sur Coast.
called this “Water’s Edge,” but I could also have called it “Continent’s Edge.” Beyond and above this little vignette of sand and rocks and water and foam lies the entire Pacific Ocean, and behind it lies the North American continent. The location is some likely-nameless spot along the Pacific Coast Highway as it passes through the Big Sur region of Central California.
I had stopped to consider photographing something else when I happened to walk close enough to the edge of the drop-off to see all the way down to the small, rocky beach. I spent a few moments watching and photographing the constantly changing patterns where the blue-green water meets the beach.
