My friend and I went on a photo walk and visited the Mill No. 5 in Lowell, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, the building has been repurposed and has lots of interesting unique, vintage, and retro stores.
Spiral:
A curve on a plane that winds around a fixed center point at a continuously increasing or decreasing distance from the point.
A three-dimensional curve that turns around an axis at a constant or continuously varying distance while moving parallel to the axis; a helix. Source the American Heritage Dictionary.
Object : 2" metal spring.
This week’s Macro Monday's theme is 'SPIRAL—which may be described as “a continuous and gradually widening (or tightening) curve, either around a central point on a flat plane or about an axis so as to form a cone...”'
After taking multiple sets of photos — tiny seashells, small spiral notebook ends — for this #spiral theme, I chose this cyclamen bud ready to unfurl. Less than 0.5 inches / 1.27 centimeters.
The true spiral appears at the bottom of the bud, but that's alarmingly too small to see and capture without a microscope.
Thanks for looking, for your faves, and for your comments.

Macro Mondays - Spiral
I created a spiral of various screws standing on their heads on a small oak block. I had a red T-shirt in the background, so the screws would pick up a bit of red. I chose to use only the ambient light coming through the windows to the left of the frame, to minimize the flaring on the shiny metal surfaces. HMM

All these shells were collected from beaches all over the UK when I was a child. The only requirement was they had to fit in the neck of an old bottle - narrower than a wine bottle. The bottle is full of every colour and shape. The smallest here is only about 2mm long.
HMM.... the theme for 7/13 is spiral

This spiral staircase at the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick is a bit odd as it's made as an oval instead of completely circular.
The spiral is part of a passion fruit plant that I grow in our living room. The length of the total structure is approx. 0,4 inches. It was a fast hand-held shot with my faithful Sigma 2,8/105mm macro lens.
This is a dream come true. As I child I always wanted a "slinky" - (a coiled spring that would travel down the stairs). I remember hinting that this would be a dream present, but never received one. (I probably didn't remind family nearer the appropriate occasion). So I was delighted when I found a mini version and bought one for myself and one for my granddaughter.

At Betws y Coed, saw
this lovely staircase.
Betws-y-coed is a village and community in the Conwy valley in Conwy County Borough, Wales, located in the historic county of Caernarfonshire, right on the boundary with Denbighshire, in the Gwydir Forest. It is now a very popular visitor destination in the Snowdonia National Park.
A small tapered spring that came out of the inside of a bread machine. I spotted it and thought it might work to assist the film pressure plate on a lovely old Agifold 120 roll film camera. It will be a while before I get around to doing with that, so in the meantime it made a useful prop for this. The spring is just over an inch long and there is around 2/3rds of it visible here. Lit from underneath with a green LED and a red LED from the left. Didn't want to do a focus stack with this, I decided it was quite a nice effect shooting it wide to the coils widen to the back. HMM
After the sublime view numbers of an Explore come the "ridiculously" low views for my less interesting shots. Thank you to those who follow me and stop me going underground! Best wishes from me for your week as December rapidly approaches.
