INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION OF COFFEE CUPS

Macro Mondays theme - Currency
Whenever we go on a trip we always try to find the machines to press a pattern on a penny for a little souvenir. We have quite a collection of them. Most of the time the pattern of the penny on the underside can't be seen anymore, but I found a couple in our stash that still had the pattern and its round shape. Used a mixture of natural and artificial light.
Happy Macro Monday and stay warm everyone!

Der Novembernebel fasziniert mich immer - erst recht, wenn die Buchenblätter so prächtige Herbstfarben zeigen.
The November fog always fascinates me - especially when the beech leaves show such splendid autumn colors.

Buchen (Fagus)
Die Buchen (Fagus) sind die einzige Pflanzengattung der Unterfamilie der Fagoideae innerhalb der Familie der Buchengewächse (Fagaceae). Die etwa elf Arten besitzen eine weite Verbreitung in den gemäßigten Gebieten der Nordhalbkugel in Nordamerika und Eurasien.
Beschreibung
Buchen-Arten sind sommergrüne Bäume, die Wuchshöhen von bis zu 40 Metern erreichen. Ihre Rinde ist grau und glatt und zeigt nur selten im Alter eine geringe Borkenbildung, sie gehört daher zu den Peridermbäumen. Die dünn und hin- und hergebogenen Zweige besitzen eine braune Rinde. Die 1 bis 3 Zentimeter langen Knospen sind lang spindelförmig, oft spreizend, von brauner Farbe, mit zahlreichen Knospenschuppen bedeckt und silbrig behaart.
Die Laubblätter stehen wechselständig, an aufrechten Zweigen schraubig, an abstehenden sind sie mehr oder weniger zweizeilig angeordnet. Die Laubblätter sind in Blattstiel und Blattspreite gegliedert. Die Blattspreite ist glänzend grün, ganzrandig, leicht buchtig gezähnt, wellig gebuchtet oder fein gezähnt. Die Nebenblätter sind schmal und hinfällig.
Beech (Fagus)
Beech (Fagus) is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. Recent classifications recognize 10 to 13 species in two distinct subgenera, Engleriana and Fagus. The Engleriana subgenus is found only in East Asia, distinctive for their low branches, often made up of several major trunks with yellowish bark. The better known Fagus subgenus beeches are high-branching with tall, stout trunks and smooth silver-grey bark. The European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the most commonly cultivated.
Beeches are monoecious, bearing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The small flowers are unisexual, the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins. They are produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The fruit of the beech tree, known as beechnuts or mast, is found in small burrs that drop from the tree in autumn. They are small, roughly triangular and edible, with a bitter, astringent, or in some cases, mild and nut-like taste. They have a high enough fat content that they can be pressed for edible oil.
The European species Fagus sylvatica yields a utility timber that is tough but dimensionally unstable. It is widely used for furniture framing and carcase construction, flooring and engineering purposes, in plywood and in household items like plates, but rarely as a decorative wood. The timber can be used to build chalets, houses, and log cabins.
Beech wood also makes excellent firewood, easily split and burning for many hours with bright but calm flames. Slats of washed beech wood are spread around the bottom of fermentation tanks for Budweiser beer. Beech logs are burned to dry the malt used in some German smoked beers, giving the beers their typical flavor. Beech is also used to smoke Westphalian ham, various sausages, and some cheeses.
I was not planning to take this one, saw an airplane flying by, picked up the camera and pressed the shutter button without thinking, not changing anything on the camera, therefore 190mm not 300mm, therefore heavily cropped to ~3.5Mp.

But when I taste tequila, baby I still see ya
Cutting up the floor in a sorority T-Shirt
The same one you wore when we were
Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya
I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste tequila
When I taste tequila
I reject secular and “pious” optimism alike, on account of both their naïveté and their superficiality, and because of their unavowed striving to make the future (and possibly God) fit into our limited visions, plans, and perceptions about what is good and right. Whereas Christian hope is openness and a readiness to search for meaning in what is to come, I sense at the back of this caricature a cockeyed assumption that we always know in advance, after all, what is best for us.

Giles Corey was accused of Witchcraft, by his neighbors and fellow townspeople and was pressed to death by piling stones upon him. Defiant to the end, he refused to plead guilty and instead kept telling his tormentors "More Weight"

The 1000ft Benleagh cliffs viewed across the Fraughn Rock Glen in the Wicklow Mountains.
The shot in comments is from the top of the cliffs looking into the glen.
This is still possibly my favourite place in the Wicklow Mountains and although it is becoming better known it can still offer total isolation.

Bree made it to the train station with minutes to spare, setting her things on a trolley to wait.
"Alright Brianna, give us a smile for your last year at Hogwarts!" her mother chirped out, holding up the camera.
Bree obliged, waiting until just the right moment to flip her fingers around as the shutter button was pressed.
"Brianna Eir! Honestly!"
Would it really be our Bree without a little cheek? ;)
Better if L is pressed.
Hampshire woodland just after sunrise. There is no great drama in this micro landscape but I like the way the light filtered through the willows as well as the organic debris on the forest floor.

Many thanks everyone for your visits, faves and comments.
Today was so sunny and bright that I just had to create some cyanotype prints.
I love these "during" shots as much as I love the final prints!
These will all become either prints for sale, or covers for my hand bound journals, sketchbooks and photograph albums.
I'd love you to come and check out my new website, where you can see more of my prints, and read more about this wonderful process.

Interestingly, this was the very first time that I actually pressed the shutter button on my Leica M2 after more than a year of having it.
