Beautiful tangle of string hanging from a strut on a vehicle that looks like it came straight out of the Mad Max movie. Those are shade cloth sails to give relief from the unrelenting sun. Found at The Depot, an Adelaide Fringe Festival venue.
You can't really see from this picture, but I've FMQ various flowers on the blocks and stipples for the background. I'll try for better pics when I get the binding added. It's really pretty in person.

Crinum americanum LInnaeus, 1753 - string lily (Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation's Native Plant Nursery, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Crinum americanum, the string lily, lives in moist to wet soils. It occurs in southern and southeastern America, Mexico, and some West Indies islands.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Asparagales, Amaryllidaceae

the title basically says it all. I was trying to get a pic of what a string pluck looks like, and so I set the camera on multi take, and I must have taken 500 of these things before I got a few semi-decent ones (wait, why did I need to take a picture of a bass string being plucked again?)
My future mother in law remarked that she would like a bag in the style of string block. I even made her a small patchwork pocket on the inside.
Not shown properly is the strap, which is also done in the string block style.
This is a one-off instrument made by special request. When I started it, I'd never seen anything like it except for a glimpse of one in a photo that was made by Sobell.
It's a hybrid archtop, flat-back 12 string guitar.
Also taken in the garden on Elizabeth. Someone had inexplicably wrapped these two opposing statues in string, which made for a fun subject.
Conceived by Rosa Ullmann, designed and built by Dan Coffey.

A friend gave me this string of red, white & blue stars for my birthday which is almost July 4th.
Taken for Our Daily Challenge topic - 'String'
I took part in "It's a String Thing" from the website tickledtotangle.blogspot.com
The tangles are Pia, Tipz, and 8’s
This one is weird. It was in my archive collection, taken with a K750 but I have no recollection of it. The ring on the finger looks a bit familiar, poss David ????
I'm wondering if its under my UV light.
43/365 This one was a total improvisation. I just saw the threads and thought it would be a good idea to use them. So this is the result.

Black and White Image
In this image, Saturn's fascinating meteorology manifests itself in a
"string of pearls" formation, spanning over 60,000 kilometers (37,000
miles).
Seen in new images acquired by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping
spectrometer and lit from below by Saturn's internal thermal glow, the
bright "pearls" are actually clearings in Saturn's deep cloud system. More
than two dozen occur at 40 degrees north latitude. Each clearing follows
another at a regular spacing of some 3.5 degrees in longitude.
This is the first time such a regular and extensive train of
cloud-clearings has been observed. The regularity indicates that they may
be a manifestation of a large planetary wave. Scientists plan to take more
observations of this phenomenon over the next few years to try to
understand Saturn's deep circulation systems and meteorology. This image
was taken on April 27, 2006.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team is based at the University
of Arizona where this image was produced.
