One of a pair of handles on the drawer of my needlework cabinet. It's the oldest piece of furniture I own - made by my dad as a gift for my mum.
A gate latch along a footpath, accessing the side yard of a vacation home. Turn, turn, turn.
Intentional failure to see the big picture
The glass handle on the glass lid of on old crock pot. We don't use it for cooking, we use it to store unshelled peanuts in. My wife found me with my camera, in a dark room, hunched over the lid that was balanced on top of a flashlight. She just rolled her eyes, sighed and said with resignation, "Just don't break the thing,."

I have lived and loved and fallen and the most important thing is that I always got up again. Believe in yourself and enjoy every little moment in your life because they go by way too fast.
Life never gives you more than what you can handle face the challenges show it to the world stand up and be happy that you are alive because many others are not
I sending you all lots of Love ♥♥♥
As the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus came to a close, the railroads that would move their train, were putting some interesting motive power on the train. On April 17, 2017, the train was being moved from Worcester, MA to Manchester, NH. P&W handled the train for about 3 miles from Worcester yard up to Barbers with a pair of Dash 7's. Pan Am took over the train at Barbers and ran it up to Manchester with both Pan Am's FP9's and 3 more EMD's providing power. Here we see the P&W leg of the train heading north through Worcester. The leader, 2201, was retired about a month later. The trailing unit 2216 was relocated by G&W out to the Ohio Central Railroad.

HMM all
HMM- the theme for today, 5/25, is handle and this one is probably the cutest of the 3-4 macros that i'll put up.
I decided to grasp the nettle for this week’s Macro Mondays' theme, Handle with Care. Stinging nettle (urtica dioica) may be an irritant but it does have a range of medicinal properties, being an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-ulcer, astringent and analgesic. Not to miss out the wise words from across the breakfast table, “Don’t forget its use in cookery, as nettle soup”.
For Macro Mondays theme - Handle with care. This Venetian shot glass, along with the other 5 glasses and decanter is one of the few sets of breakable items that survived the Christchurch earthquakes over the last 5 years in our home. Glass is smaller than credit card.
Given to me by my father-in-law when he returned from an overseas trip in the 1970's HMM

Credit also goes to Duke for the Mossberg handguard and L-85 carrying handle, which were mighty convenient!

St George's Hall
In 1969 the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner expressed his opinion that it is one of the finest neo-Grecian buildings in the world.
St George's Hall stands 169ft long and 74ft wide with a tunnel vaulted ceiling – the largest of its kind in Europe. The ceiling is supported on massive red granite columns, with figures portraying qualities Victorian Liverpool aspired to – art, science, fortitude and justice.
The Hall houses a priceless Minton mosaic tiled floor of 30,000 tiles. When the unique floor was uncovered, in 1954, to mark the Hall's centenary, more than 100,000 people queued to see it.
The Hall is also home to a concert organ second only in size to the organ in the Albert Hall.
In 2004 the hall and its surrounding area were recognised as part of Liverpool's World Heritage Site.

Queen Victoria
(1819–1901)
by Thomas Thornycroft, 1869
Bronze on a granite pedestal.
This striking sculpture of the young Queen Victoria riding side-saddle was commissioned to match the one of Prince Albert already completed by Thornycroft and unveiled in 1866. The Queen's hat is generously plumed, and, appropriately for this position outside St George's Hall, she bears the St. George's riband as a sash across her breast.
In a description from the Art Journal, the horse is seen as "full of impatient action, which tells on the sway of the figure; an effect difficult to express well in sculpture."
The Queen holds what looks like a small sceptre, but is actually the handle of a riding crop, the rest of which has been lost. The drape of her voluminous skirt can be seen in the right-hand profile.
The companion piece, towards the other end of St George’s Steps, is the equestrian statue of Prince Albert.

For Crazy Tuesday challenge.
After a chat with Dennis R about possible avenues to pursue with blanking off the middle of the frame and adding en extra element to fill the middle I came up with this. A tunnel with a silhouette would have been my preference but that will have to wait.
