The web of domination has become the web of Reason itself, and this society is fatally entangled in it. ~Herbert Marcuse~

I had an extra day off today because of the Thursday Holiday, so I took a walk this morning around our hood looking for some shots for the Saturday group. The theme is Entangled. I decided to try a black and white to show off the textures and give it a mysterious look. Tree entangled by strangled fig.
Happy Smile on Saturday!
What was meant to be a short break from social media quickly heralded the looks of yet another hiatus. In reality, my First Life (FL) was doing what my FL seems to do best: Entangling me in unforeseen circumstances. We've all been there before though, no?

I'm back! It will probably take me a minute to acclimate to Flickr and blogging again, but I hope that you have all been safe and wonderful. Let's catch up soon! ♥
... amongst some grass. Not sure what the object is ... as old seed pod perhaps ... but it took my attention, looking lost amongst the grass.
Every picture tells a story. So I'm told.

I tried. I really tried to knot beautiful knots all Sunday evening. I have a box full of paracord in different colours which I've bought for a camera shoulder strap project, but I never got beyond making a few wrist straps so far. I tried (the operative word is tried) to make a few Celtic style knots with the paracord, also surgical knots, the monkey's fist knot (which ended up looking like an exploding Death Star)... Let's admit it, I'd be lost if I were to rely on my knot knotting abilities. What I succeeded in was inadvertidly tangling up a very thin golden necklace (each link is only 1 mm / 0.039 inches long) which I've borrowed from my Mother for the theme. The necklace now has knots where I've never intended them. I suppose I'll be in serious trouble if I don't manage to un-knot the necklace. But I have my photo ;)
Image taken with the Lensbaby SOL 22 (equipped with the 16mm extension tube) which came to my MM rescue today. I had the necklace tangled up on a black tile, and chose the two nicest looking knots as main subject. For illumination I've used a yellow light from the left, and a handheld (upper right position) flashlight which I've shone through the blue tealight holder for a rather nice electric blue effect. Processed with the usual suspects DXO PhotoLab 4, Color Efex, Analog Efex, and Luminar AI.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
