Worker spreads textiles in a dye tank in Jaipur, India.

Textile manufacturing is vital to Jaipur's economy, deeply entwined with its cultural heritage. Renowned for hand block printing, tie-dye, and embroidery, Jaipur's textiles attract global attention, boosting tourism and international trade. This industry provides employment to thousands, from artisans to factory workers, supporting many families and fostering economic stability.

Small-scale and cottage industries coexist with larger manufacturing units, creating a diverse ecosystem that values traditional skills and modern techniques. Jaipur's vibrant textile markets draw tourists and traders, further stimulating economic activity. Additionally, the city's textiles influence fashion trends worldwide, enhancing its global reputation.

What has been a fantastic document of historic textile industry, is being destroyed in 2023.

Just a quick run through the buildings for half an hour, shooting with the mobile phone.

WIKIPEDIA

Conus textile, common name the textile cone or the cloth of gold cone is a venomous species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails, cone shells or cones.

Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. The conotoxin of this species is extremely dangerous to humans.

Macro Mondays: Unusual Patterns

Mill dam. First industrial revolution. The power of water was used to produce textiles. Until the Second World War, the valley was densely populated. Later, nature reclaimed its rights. Today, it's the city's green belt, which you can explore on a popular cycle path.

Waicangqiaojie St.

This cotton textile was woven on the island of Timor in Indonesia. The designs were created using the supplementary warp technique rather then the more common supplementary weft brocading.

The red color comes from the Mirinda citrifolia tree and the blue from the indigo plant.

Macro Mondays Cloth/Textile

actually colour photo - really surprised and delighted with what custom white balance can do with white sheets

also wanted to try to tell a story with the shot - create a landscape

so the fuzz up the main ridge is like people trying to get to the peek so the ridge and top of the ridge are in focus - as the rest of the range falls away.

And there's this big light in the upper left - have you climbed on these kind of days?

ok, it may be better in my head than in this shot :)

(in searching for something similar in the BIG just now, here's an example cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0923/0826/products/nepal-mounta... here i guess the fuzz is more like a tree line and this i1.wp.com/www.kirstenasmithphotography.com/Global-Travels...)

i'd be delighted to hear your thoughts on how to re-work this to get a better image....thank you

Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright

Blue moon, keep on a-shinin' bright

You're gonna bring-a me back-a my baby tonight

Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

A-well-a, it was on one moonlight night

Stars shinin' bright

Whispered on high

Love's said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

A-well-a, it was on one moonlight night

Stars shinin' bright

Whispered on high

Love's said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
