Another incomprehensible iceberg in Lake Argentina in Los Glaciares National Park.
I've never seen such clear glacial ice -- especially illuminated with back light like this. On top of that I love the texture of this ice chipped like an ancient stone tool.
Here's a broader view of this iceberg.

Moon jellyfish are famous for their translucent, saucer-like bells and the four distinct, clover-shaped or horseshoe-shaped gonads visible in their center. They are harmless to humans, heavily studied, and widespread across the world's oceans These fascinating creatures can often be found in coastal areas with water temperatures ranging from 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (15 to 25 degrees Celsius). They can sting but the pain is realtively small. The float on ocean current and can reproduce a damaged or lost tentacle. moon jellyfish primarily feed on plankton, small fish, and other tiny organisms. They use their tentacles to capture their prey and then transfer it to their mouths located in the center of their bodies. They live for about a year.
This will probably be my last urban shot for a while, I think I've got it out of my system whatever it was I was looking to do :D
Been a nice change, and there's something very cool about the angles and sharp lines of modern architecture against soft skies, I will be back.... but I think my heart is in getting my feet wet in waterfalls or trying to capture the morning mist :)
Looking forward to the autumn and winter now, although I love summer, for photography it's hard to capture anything interesting :) Bring me back my misty mornings and frosty ground :)
Macro Mondays - October 12, 2020
Theme for the week - "Translucent."
Image taken with my Huawei Mate 8 cell phone.
A photo of a Glad translucent food storage container lid placed in front of my laptop screen with one of my older fly images to enhance illumination and show the lids light diffusing properties.
Snapped this shot of a Laughing Gull riding the wind over our heads in Rodanthe, NC. I was amused to find that the backlight from the overcast sky created an X-Ray like effect on the gull’s trailing wing and tail feathers, making the overlapping pattern of the layered feathers visible.
I searched high and low, looked at photo examples on line to find something unique for Macros on Monday "Translucent" subjects. Wa-Laaa! right in front of me on my desktop I saw the alabaster former ashtray that I use for paper and binder clips.
The whole dish is 4 inches wide so it was easy to get the required macro but the first images looked like binders in a dark hole. I captured this image on a piece of glass with a speed light below that made the dish glow.
Happy Macro Monday everyone and thanks for your comments and favs.
