Market Square, Alnwick on a mid-January Monday afternoon. Come the holiday season it will look very different!
Fourth in the series. The idea of attractors, or points of purpose in the future towards which things move, depicted here in a visual metaphor. Layering in, also, the idea that people with powerful and magnetic ideas as centre points also draw people toward an ideal or purpose in the future.
I'm celebrating these figures with this series - thinkers and artists who've made a powerful impact with their work and though, who've drawn many in toward their deeper messages.
Following after "The Glassblower's Breath" with it's Rumi theme, I thought it appropriate to bring out this image now and post it next to an image honouring one of his works. It was originally created in April 2017 and was sitting in the queue for a long time, until the right moment.
3 Pano-Sabotage pieces, cut up, layered and mirrored multiple times then photo manipulated.

Music Link: "Hilal" - Mirror System & Ucef, from "The Art of Chill 3" compilation and originally on Mirror System's debut, self titled album, "Mirror System". The word "hilal" is not about Islamic meat preparation, as in "kosher". It means "crescent moon".

... a very strange feeling, as this week's challenge is asking me to do what I do every week ... show what I have shot against a size guide! I've got an album of over 300 shots ... and I've put one, as usual, in the first comment field!
When the debate was first raised (some years ago) I liked the idea of using an old credit card as my guide. It is 3" x2" in size ... and has worked really well to keep my focused on the 3" rule for MM. It is such a good idea to define what we mean by 'macro' and the 3" rule (if followed) is an excellent one! Yes, I have seen an entire banana offered and accepted as 'macro' in another group. And it makes me groan when something like that happens! So well done MM admins for doing this topic .... 😊
For the Macro Monday challenge "My Closest" (January 17th 2022)

This is one strange duck! Let me tell you, this duck has what looks like pom-poms on her head. Yes, I have assigned the female gender to her! Well, I even call her Pom-Pom! She lives in a pond where I live. I think that she is really cute!
Strange visitor in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario as Algoma Central FP9's roll to get their morning passenger train and leased LS&I U30C helps out on the Wisconsin Central on March 9, 1996.
This mushroom appeared in our garden about four days ago. Never seen something like this. Does anyone know the name of this strange one??
The tail of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is strange indeed, at least in the male. The outer pair of rectrices are greatly elongated (they are longer than the bird's body); the bases of the outer pair of rectrices are bare, but the outer two-thirds of the feather are very broad, forming a long streamer. The plumage is black and white, but the breeding male has exposed pinkish or orangey skin on the throat. The behavior of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is no less unusual. This species is polygynous, as males maintain territories where up to four females breed. Currently the Strange-tailed Tyrant largely is restricted to southern Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, and western Uruguay, where it occupies tall grasslands, but the distribution formerly extended much farther north and east. In view of this range contraction, primarily due to habitat loss, the Red List conservation status of the Strange-tailed Tyrant is rated as Vulnerable.
Have a Peaceful Day!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Yes, it is an Australian Pelican (or possibly a rare Mohican Duck according to one sharp eyed birder - thanks RIchard! ; ))
Let me approach very close, without a move.
If I am not wrong I was too close to the nest and he was trying to divert my attention ..

Many Thai people wear amulets for good luck, good health or protection, including from evil spirits. They are made from various materials including metal, wood, plaster, bone and even gemstones and seashell. They depict an image of Buddha or a famous monk and sometimes even royalty. A genuine amulet is blessed by a monk.
