This week in SSC
You are looking through the glass in the front door of our house.
And for Sight and Sound
"Looking Glass" with their hit single "Brandy" (1972) (Remember this one-hit wonder?)
I love old hand blown glass ornaments. This little mushroom is one of my favorites. The count down to Christmas continues, and since I finished decorating our cabin today - the cookie baking will begin tomorrow.
I use this glass darning needle to weave in the yarn tails at the end of a knitting project. This task is my least favorite part of knitting, so I decided to make it more enjoyable with a beautiful darning needle. It is handmade, of glass!

Glass insulators on some very old utility poles. Manufacturers stopped producing the teal-colored ones in the late 1930s.
The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia.
A shot from 2014.
The iconic peak in the centre is Mount Coonowrin (377m), currently a restricted access area.
"The Glass House Mountains are a cluster of thirteen hills that rise abruptly from the coastal plain on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The highest hill is Mount Beerwah at 556 metres above sea level, but the most identifiable of all the hills is Mount Tibrogargan which from certain angles bears a resemblance to a face staring east towards the ocean. The Glass House Mountains are located near Beerburrum State Forest and Steve Irwin Way. From Brisbane, the mountains can be reached by following the Bruce Highway north and taking the Glass House Mountains tourist drive turn-off onto Steve Irwin Way. The trip is about one hour from Brisbane. The Volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains rise dramatically from the surrounding Sunshine Coast landscape. They were formed by intrusive plugs, remnants of volcanic activity that occurred 26-27 million years ago. Molten rock filled small vents or intruded as bodies beneath the surface and solidified into land rocks. Millions of years of erosion have removed the surrounding exteriors of volcanic cores and softer sandstone rock.
Whilst the traditional names for the hills themselves are very old, the term 'Glasshouse Mountains' was given more recently by explorer Lieutenant James Cook on 17 May 1770. The peaks reminded him of the glass furnaces in his home county of Yorkshire. Matthew Flinders explored the area and climbed Mount Beerburrum after sailing along Pumicestone Passage in 1799."

Broken for Macro Mondays
#44 Broken for 52 pictures in 2023
For Macro Mondays' "Bubbles" theme. This is a blue glass pitcher with lots of little bubbles in the glass. The out of focus blobs are highlights from the other side of the pitcher. Lighting is done mostly with an Ikea reading light coming in from the top. Background behind the pitcher was black board. The area covered is probably less than an inch across.
Looking close on Friday theme: Words on Glass
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
A still life study from my glass casting lab at work. I tried out my new camera, a Moskva 5 medium format folding camera, for the first time. It is tricky to use but can give a soft, dreamy look if shot wide-open that I want to estasblish in future. Fujifilm Acros I developed in Rodinal (1:100) semi-stand.
Another abstract overhead pic with the D80 of a wine glass which was sitting on one of those colour-changing table mats
like love
once strong and yet so fragile
so easily broken and
so hard to mend...
those ugly scars remain

A broken segment of shopfront glass creates an abstract when exposed to strong light. Seen in western Ireland.

Luckily I finally got this image together. I did several panos at high magnification forgetting that such panos need extreme overlaps. This one is a fairly detailed 201 megapixels. This picture works so well because it is very balanced, in terms of the mountains each side and the light.
