Long night of photography at the Photo Festival "La Gacilly-Baden" in Austria. Lots of fantastic pictures and interesting background stories.
This is what I see without my reading glasses. the flickering lights from my fibre optic Christmas tree...........

Turned on it's back, like a rigged sheep, pins exposed!
It's a pentium 4 2.4GHz, if anyone cares. Was the best I could come up with for this week's Macro Monday challenge- rather lacking in imagination this week, and short of time.

Reading between the Lines, the chapel/art installation of the Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh consists of 100 steel sheets stacked on top of each other in the shape of a church. The construction weighs a whopping 30 tons. The special way of construction makes the landscape always visible throughout the church, from far away and up-close. The church is therefore present but also absent in the landscape. According to British newspaper, The Guardian, this is the most beautiful place in Belgium.
One of the many Lighthouse Sculptures situated in NE Scotland, Moray, Orkney and Shetland in the "Light The North" sculpture trail in aid of Clan Cancer Charity. Each one stands at 2.5m tall.
They will later be auctioned off to raise funds for the charity.

You may be surprised to learn that it’s a single photograph rather than a double exposure or multiple images blended in Photoshop. So how did I pull it off?
Imagine a bus shelter with a row of mailboxes standing close behind it. The bus shelter is made of glass panels, which means that if you stand to the side of the shelter, you can look simultaneously through its side and back walls. You will then see the numbers of mailboxes behind the shelter as well as the numbers of mailboxes to the side of the shelter, reflected off the side panel.
The framing and focusing were a bit tricky. To add to the challenge, I was standing at a crossroads so I had to watch out for passing cars, and it was raining. Luckily, both me and my camera survived and I got a couple of interesting shots.
The title of the photo refers to the film A Beautiful Mind about the mathematician John Nash, played by Russell Crowe. Spoiler alert: the plot includes lots of numbers and a mailbox.😉 Oh, and the title of the photo is also a sort of spoiler.
Lovely Super-Takumar 50mm lens decorated fairy LED lights. Used a square aperture filter to give square shape to the bokeh. Notice how it looks warmer on the inside of the lens due to a yellow tint that the glass gets from years of decay of its radiactive thorium glass element.
For a point of interest in this Macro Mondays Windowsill challenge, I was fortunate to have a "museum" of artifacts collected from my travels.
An apple snail shell, found in the marshes of the Myakka River in South Florida, was positioned on a rock from Coastal Maine. Carefully balancing on my windowsill, the scene was illuminated entirely by outdoor light, with the azalea blooms in the front yard as background.
