This is the last week of Enchantment and the feeds have been flooded with some of the best Alice in Wonderland images I've ever seen, which makes adding to it quite daunting. I couldn't help but make another image using Tableau Vivant's awesome hair from Fantasy Gacha Carnival though! I am wearing new Stripper Sparkles by Cynful in the image. I wish their......

Ho potuto (purtroppo) vedere la scala interna della nuova ala dell’ospedale di Grosseto e l’ho fotografata con tutti i dispositivi che avevo a disposizione: la Zorki 4 ed il mio mitico iPhone SE (1st generation).

it is actually not unfounded. In the past, the hole was used to attach a rag to the ruler. with this rag, the used slate could be cleaned during school lessons. somewhat later, the hole was used to hang up the rulers. in the meantime, there is actually no longer any need for it, but rulers are still made with holes.

Macro Mondays 'numbers and letters' theme.

The polarised colours don't work as well as the ruler is orange to begin with.

The image measures 2.5" in width

I was uninspired trying to come up with something interesting for this theme until I looked in my "Measure & Level" drawer and found a couple old rulers that have obviously been around for a while.

The green smear of paint on the top ruler was my grandfather's tool color and the one on the bottom is actually stamped "Made in the U.S.A."-- very uncommon these days.

Anyway, Happy Macro Monday everyone! :)

Fun picture, but too old and not perfect yet.

I was planning on a remake, may be tomorrow?

Taken macro 1:1 for the group #MacroMondays theme: #MyClosest

This is as close as I can get to an 8 mm glass bead on a metal ruler (ruler is in mm's). My camera is a compact zoom with built-in lens so requires accessories to get this close when using 1:1 macro. I used Hoya Close-Up II 52 mm filter lenses +1, +2 & +4 combined & fitted to my Canon PowerShot 42 mm lens via a 42-52 mm adapter ring. Photographed outside in bright, natural daylight. The metal ruler has a brushed stainless steel surface and is 20 mm wide. When taking the shot I tried to exclude as much of the ruler as possible leaving just enough to show measurement of bead with a couple of spare mm's here and there.

The Waterfall of the Gods, Viking cruise excursion, Northern Iceland's Natural Treasures

Goðafoss translates from modern Icelandic as "the waterfall of the gods", a nickname said to come from a myth from Iceland's history. According to legend, after converting the country to Christianity, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði (one of the main rulers of the island at that time) threw all his pagan idols into the waterfall, thus changing the Viking gods for the Christian god.

Carpenters Ruler not as popular as they once were but still a useful tool, found in North Carolina.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "My Closest".

With the aim this week of getting as close as we possibly can to a subject and showing either a ruler or graph paper in the shot I first located a small ruler and then I decided to use some Chia seeds bought from a local store and I poured a small amount onto a white plate.

Next I placed the ruler onto the plate and then poured more seeds onto the ruler.

After setting up my camera and focussing the Tamron 90mm ti it's closest focus I found a close-up filter and tried attaching it to the lens. It was just too small but I managed to keep it in place using Sellotape.

Then I spent a while trying to find a composition and in the end I settled on what you see here. This shows the 8cm marker on the ruler. The close-up filter has the effect of having to place the lens so much closer to the subject than usual and depth of field is very small, so much so that hardly anywhere is in sharp focus.even though I set the aperture much smaller than I normally would. The smaller aperture has even created some chromatic aberration around some of the seeds.

The use of the close-up filter got me in close enough so that the entire frame from top left to bottom right is about 2cm long.

The British rulers in India established the first permanent structure for its revenue collection in Mausuni Island more than almost two centuries ago when they gradually consolidated its colonial powers in Bengal.....the island is strategically located in the farthest point on navigating route to Bengal, which helped them to keep watch on every ship coming and going through the Bay of Bengal, either for trade or attempting battle...the beauty of British rule in India, despite all colonial abuses, lies in its systematic governance through reforms and establishment of both revenue and judicial system and their inherent passion for academic pursuits....the Island is still not connected to the main land except by boat and we had to accommodated ourselves in rural hut on the beach with just basic facilities...taken in Mausuni Island, West Bengal, India

For no less than 35 years, Marshal Tito was the face of Yugoslavia. He moved on the stage of world politics with bravado: he opposed the almighty Soviet Union, his Tito-ism formed the ideal buffer against Stalinsm for the West. In short, Tito put Yugoslavia on the world map. More importantly, Tito has managed to maintain stability in Yugoslavia all these years. How did he manage to keep those very strong nationalistic feelings in check all these years? Tito just said: Don't whine, shut up. Most importantly, Tito, with a sophisticated strategy, made sure that no people felt like a minority. No one is better or more valuable than another. As the leader of his partisan army, which consisted of different population groups, he was the only one who really stood above the parties. Especially in the early years of his reign unsavory things happened. Indeed. People who opposed him during the war or shortly afterwards have been disabled. Thousands of people have been murdered and beaten to death. The problem with dictators, and Tito was of course a dictator, is that they don't have suitable successors. No one can and should stand in their shadow, so when such a ruler dies, power falls into the hands of all kinds of incapable figures. After Tito's death in 1980, Yugoslavia is rapidly declining. The increasingly poor relations between the different population groups eventually culminate in a civil war. You can still find slogans of Tito at the most southern point of Croatia, at the abandoned Prevlaka Fortress: Tito - leads our way - to je naš put.. On the road to Prevlaka Fortress we pass beautiful Italian cypress trees.

Prevlaka is a peninsula at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor - Montenegro. It is the southernmost point in Croatia. There is a neglected fortress from 1870. It was bombed in 1943 and this is still clearly visible. There are plans for restoration. The reserve is totally overgrown, but nature is breathtaking. There is a beautiful view from the terrace. Prevlaka's strategic location and proximity to a naval base have led Prevlaka to several quarrels between Croatia and Yugoslavia. In the early 1990s, during the Croatian War of Independence, Yugoslavia occupied the peninsula. In 1996, the two countries agreed to demilitarize it, and UN observers came to monitor it. Recognized as a territory of Croatia in 2006. Worth a visit if you like abandoned ancient ruins. On the road past beautiful Italian cypress trees to the most southern point of Croatia.

Maar liefst 35 jaar lang was maarschalk Tito hét gezicht van Joegoslavië. Met bravoure bewoog hij zich op het toneel van de wereldpolitiek: hij joeg de almachtige Sovjet-Unie tegen zich in het harnas, zijn titoïsme vormde voor het Westen de ideale buffer tegen het stalinisme. Hoe slaagde hij erin die zeer heftige nationalistische gevoelens al die jaren in toom te houden? ‘Tito zei gewoon: “Niet zeuren, bek houden.”‘ Het belangrijkste was dat Tito er met een uitgekiende strategie voor zorgde dat geen enkel volk zich een minderheid voelde. Niemand is beter of meer waard dan een ander. Als leider van zijn ,b>partizanenleger, dat uit verschillende bevolkingsgroepen bestond, was hij de enige die werkelijk boven de partijen stond. Vooral in de eerste jaren van zijn bewind zijn er onverkwikkelijke zaken gebeurd. Inderdaad. Mensen die hem tijdens de oorlog of vlak daarna tegenwerkten zijn uitgeschakeld. Duizenden mensen zijn vermoord en doodgeslagen. Na Tito’s dood in 1980 gaat het snel bergafwaarts met Joegoslavië. De steeds slechtere verhoudingen tussen de verschillende bevolkingsgroepen culmineren uiteindelijk in een burgeroorlog. Er zijn vandaag de dag nog steeds slogan's te vinden van Tito, zo ook bij het verlaten Prevlaka Fortress Tito lijdt ons de weg - Tito - to je naš put.. Prevlaka is een schiereiland bij de ingang van de baai van Kotor - Montenegro. Het is het meest zuidelijke punt van Kroatië. Er is een verwaarloosd fort uit 1870. Er zijn plannen voor restauratie. Het reservaat is totaal overwoekerd, maar de natuur is adembenemend. Vanaf het terras is er een prachtig uitzicht. In het begin van de jaren negentig, tijdens de Kroatische Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog, bezette Joegoslavië het schiereiland. In 1996 kwamen de twee landen overeen om het te demilitariseren, en VN-waarnemers kwamen het volgen. Erkend als een grondgebied van Kroatië in 2006. Een bezoek waard als je van verlaten oude ruïnes houdt. Op weg langs prachtige Italiaanse cipressen naar het meest zuidelijke punt van Kroatië.

Ruler of the always wild land

In all weathers you do stand

Home to winged ones from the sky

As above clouds of white they fly

Over natures beauty, painted on the land

Where wooden ruler, you do stand

This is Drax (Superhero), our grand dog, who is part Shih Tzu and part Jack Russell Terrier. He is very affectionate and sometimes rambunctious, especially if there is food nearby. He loves sitting on comfortable chairs and is most certainly the ruler of our house!
