This is a drawer pull from a night table. The bottom of the pull is about 2.5 " across.

Size of the "S": 1 cm / 0,39 inches
Pushing works, too, to lift the lid of this small glass pillbox ;-) In my early teens, I had a soft spot for old stuff (I wouldn't call it antiquities, because these come at a different price). I found my then only second spectacle frames at a flea market, nicely silver-rimmed things, and used them for three or four years before I deemed myself too "grown-up" for them (at 15) and decided I needed someting more fashionable for my eyes. I loved old everything, cupboards, fashion (we are talking about fin de siècle), old lace, and old "luxury" pill boxes, you know, the small ones that are round or oval, with a nicely painted lid. This is a small glass box – old, of course – bought (for me, not by me) at a proper antique shop, and it was rather cheap, because the bottom part has a huge crack across the whole diameter and the lid, framed with brass, wasn't closing properly anymore already back then. The glass is of a beautiful turquoise-blue colour, with white bellflowers painted onto the upper lid. I've used both the glass box and the green Swarovski beads, which I keep inside and which once were part of a selfmade necklace, for another MM theme, "Trinket", you can check it out in the first comment, if you like.
My original idea of how to present this didn't quite work out: I envisioned a lightbeam shining through the opened lid, but how should I make the lightbeam visible? I cut a hole into a cardboard box and shone a flashlight through it, but that alone doesn't make the beam visible, of course. You need something else, smoke, steam, dust (no way!)... flour? Well, obviously I didn't use either for the image, because I somehow didn't have the nerve to play with fire and cardboard, or mess around with steam or flour, so in the end I decided to use an "old aquaintance" for some light trickery, the star filter. I will keep that "lightbeam idea" in mind, however, and hope that I can use it for a later MM theme once I have figured out how to set up eveything safely and conveniently.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, have a beautiful and safe week ahead!
A waiter's corkscrew for Macro Monday theme "PushPull". This tool is used to open a bottle of wine by "pushing" and twisting the corkscrew into the cork, engaging the hinge, and "pulling" the handle up to release the cork.
Remember having to pull out the choke to start the car and being very careful not to flood the engine....

218 472-9 fährt mit ihrem RE21 bei Andersleben an einem Nebenarm der Bode vorbei. Leider wurde die Strecke zu Tode modernisiert, so dass für diese 218er Leistungen eher auf Landschaftsaufnahmen zurückgegriffen werden muss.
218 472-9 power's her RE21 train bound for Halberstadt past Andersleben and a little sidearm of the Bode river. With none infrastructure left on this line, the last thing you can do is use the nature around for some background...and there is a hell lot of nature around this parts of saxony anhalt

218 472-9 fährt mit ihrer Ersatz RE21 Garnitur aus dem Bahnhof Oker aus. Pläne für ein ESTW im Nordharz, welches Oker, Goslar und Vienenburg ersetzen würde liegen bereits in den Schubladen der Planer...
218 472-9 accelerates her RE21 train out of the Oker station. In the next years a ESTW will bring an end to the old mechanical signal glory in the north harz region

5Z15 Inverness to Inverness. DBSO 9707 leads through the fuel bay at Inverness being propelled by 47712 seen on the rear. Having chased the LSL push pull set up from Dalwhinnie this was the final shot of the evening with the early winter sunset.

Plastic picnic plate space time continuum, the push and pull and tensions of light across the visible spectrum, who knows what tensions lie beyond?
A button on Niqui's (very complicated to me) sewing machine indicates .. something happens when you push it (lifting the foot she tells me, but mine stayed firmly on the floor)
Die Strecke Eilenburg - Halle/S hat noch einige schöne Motive zu bieten, eines der bekannteren befindet sich gleich an der Ausfahrt von Eilenburg. Auf einem kleinen Hügel thront dort eine leider etwas verfallene Villa. Vor ihr passiert 143 168-3 mit ihrer S9 Garnitur die Szenerie.
The Line Eilenburg - Halle/S has still some oldshool vibe going for it. Near the south entrance of Eilenburg stands an old statehouse on top a little hill, right next to the 4 railtacks. Next to it is 143 168-3 with a little S9 train bound for Halle/S

1H11 Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness. Class 43 Intercity HST power car in Scotrail Inter7citys livery heads north on the HML seen here between Tomatin and Moy. With RTT showing it was 43125 I decided to pan shot this power car as I quite like the power car number 125 matching the class of train 125. With withdrawal from Cross Country and GWR slimming there fleet even more the HSTs days are numbered but for just how long will Scotrail operate these short sets.
