nothing makes me happier than glass i can use more than once. a $3 serving plate- my newest best friend. :))

It's the things we love the most that destroy us.

I wasn't going to post this version, but after reading my dear friend William's comment at my previous upload, I decided it would be interesting to see what my friends thoughts will be for this one, too ;))

Edges of the paper sheets. I used five sheets of white paper.

Inspired by Macro Monday theme - Edge.

I really liked this theme, so I created two, very different photos. The leaf was the first that I took.

I'm always fascinated how light catches the shapes and textures in the sand around sunset. I love processing these types of images in B&W, as it gives you so much creative freedom.....weather still pretty awful down here in Cornwall. Comments will be most appreciated.

"LA PENTE DE LA RÊVERIE" (V. HUGO) : Titre proposé par "napoleon-83400" ;-)

VICTOR HUGO

1802 - 1885 .

"La pente de la rêverie

Amis , ne creusez pas vos chères rêveries ;

Ne fouillez pas le sol de vos plaines fleuries ;

Et quand s' offre à vos yeux un océan qui dort ,

Nagez à la surface ou jouez sur le bord .

Car la pensée est sombre ! Une pente insensible

Va du monde réel à la sphère invisible ;

La spirale est profonde , et quand on y descend ,

Sans cesse se prolonge et va s'élargissant ,

Et pour avoir touché quelques énigmes fatales ,

De ce voyage obscur souvent on revient pâle !

...

Oh ! cette double mer du temps et de l' espace

Où le navire humain passe et repasse ,

je voulus la sonder , je voulus en toucher

Le sable , y regarder , y fouiller , y chercher ,

Pour vous en rapporter quelque richesse étrange ,

Et dire si son lit est de roche ou de fange .

Mon esprit plongea donc sous ce flot inconnu ,

Au profond de l' abîme il nagea seul et nu ,

Toujours de l'ineffable allant à l'invisible ...

Soudain il s' en revint avec un cri terrible ,

Ébloui , haletant , stupide , épouvanté ,

Car il avait au fond trouvé l' éternité ."

Enjoy your weekend!

Water-art.

At this moment we have a lot of rain instant of snow, but I like waterdrops too ;-)) It gives a lovely abstract.

For Macro Mondays

Theme: "Abstract Macro"

As mentioned in a comment on a previous photo in the series, these are generally pictures taken straight down on a grey cement floor. Colors appear during post-processing that depend in part on processing choices and in part on the quality of interior and exterior light on the scene. It didn't look like this when I saw it.

Thanks very much to all for the positive comments!

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."

Quote - Pablo Picasso

For Macro Mondays 28DEC15: Redux 2015--My Favorite Theme of the Year. This is for the Abstract in Macro theme.

These bubbles formed after leaving cold water in a small flat bottle. As the water warmed to room temperature, nitrogen and oxygen slowly came out of solution, with tiny bubbles forming and coalescing at sites of microscopic imperfections on the glass (www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-bubbles-form-if-a/). I put white tissue paper about 6 inches behind the bottle and backlit with a flashlight. This was shot at 1:1 and slightly cropped.

Thanks for viewing and Happy Final Macro Monday of 2015!

The wind blew. I'll call it bokeh even though it's just plain out of focus. I just like the colors.

The my first abstract creation

Playing with my stairs-photo 'Different' (see first comment box), to create Abstract 2.

Used that photo 4 times and enhanced the colors.

Happy Weekend ;-))

But they are very hot when you eat them.

Nea Artaki ~ A walk by the port

Καλό ξημέρωμα!

Το δίχτυ

Κάθε φορά που ανοίγεις δρόμο στη ζωή

μην περιμένεις να σε βρει το μεσονύχτι

έχε τα μάτια σου ανοιχτά βράδυ πρωί

γιατί μπροστά σου πάντα απλώνεται ένα δίχτυ

έχε τα μάτια σου ανοιχτά βράδυ πρωί

γιατί μπροστά σου πάντα απλώνεται ένα δίχτυ

Αν κάποτε στα βρόχια του πιαστείς

κανείς δεν θα μπορέσει να σε βγάλει

μονάχος βρες την άκρη της κλωστής

κι αν είσαι τυχερός ξεκινά πάλι

μονάχος βρες την άκρη της κλωστής

κι αν είσαι τυχερός ξεκινά πάλι

Αυτό το δίχτυ έχει ονόματα βαριά

που είναι γραμμένα σ' επτασφράγιστο κιτάπι

άλλοι το λεν του κάτω κόσμου πονηριά

κι άλλοι το λεν της πρώτης άνοιξης αγάπη

Αν κάποτε στα βρόχια του πιαστείς

κανείς δεν θα μπορέσει να σε βγάλει

μονάχος βρες την άκρη της κλωστής

κι αν είσαι τυχερός ξεκινά πάλι

μονάχος βρες την άκρη της κλωστής

κι αν είσαι τυχερός ξεκινά πάλι
