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.
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.

Something simple and straightforward for a change ;-) Though I have a "what am I looking at?" version for the theme, too, which, again, I will probably upload later. This time I did not get that close,
because I wanted to have the "Organic" lettering in full, which is 6 cm (2,3622 inches) high. The width here is exactly 7 cm / 3 inches. It's a cotton tote bag, made from "organic cotton" (hopefully), by Swedish designer Gudrun Sjödén.
Zur Abwechslung mal was ganz Simples, Stoffbeutel aus "Bio-Baumwolle" (hoffentlich) mit entsprechendem Schriftzug von der schwedischen Designerin Gudrun Sjödén. Die Mode ist nicht ganz mein Fall, aber die Beutel sind hübsch.
Thank you for your kind comments, I appreciate every single one, and your faves! Vielen Dank für Eure tollen Kommentare und Faves!
A Happy Macro Mondy, Everyone!
For Macro Mondays cloth/textile
Title comes from a poem Robert Herrick wrote in the 17th century:
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:—
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distractión,—
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher,—
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly,—
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat,—
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility,—
Do more bewitch me, than when art
Is too precise in every part.

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
