Isn't it amazing that what looks like an ever so (s)light connection in close-up can ruin a woolen scarf, pullover, you name it... for good? Velcro. Invented in 1941 by Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral (patented in 1951), who often had to remove burrs of burdock from his clothes and his dogs' fur after taking long walks with them in the Alps. He took a closer look at the the burrs under the microscope and saw the tiny hooks which would catch on anything with a loop. This gave him the idea for the hook and loop fastener. The term "velcro" is a composite made up of the French words *vel*ours and *cro*chet: velvet and hook.
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Thank you for your comments and faves, they are always highly appreciated!
Schon erstaunlich, dass das, was nach einer superleichten Verbindung in der Nahaufnahme ausschaut, ein beliebiges Teil aus Wolle binnen Sekunden ruinieren kann: Klettband. Erfunden vom schweizerischen Ingenieur Georges de Mestral im Jahr 1941 (patentiert im Jahr 1951): Mestral musste nach langen Spaziergängen mit seinen Hunden in den Alpen immer wieder Kletten aus dem Fell seiner Hunde und seiner Kleidung entfernen. So kam er auf die Idee, sich die Kletten mal unter dem Mikroskop anzuschauen und entdeckte die winzigen Häkchen. Die Idee für den Klettverschluss war geboren. In anderen Ländern ist Klettband unter dem Namen "Velcro" bekannt, einer Zusammensetzung aus den französischen Wörtern *vel*ours und *cro*chet: Samt und Haken.
Vielen Dank für Eure lieben Kommentare und Faves, über die ich mich stets freue, und einen schönen, sonnigen Montag!

Die Banter Ruine in Wilöhelmshaven ist eine künstliche Ruine, die gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts an der Stelle der früheren Kirche des Kirchspiels Bant errichtet wurde. Die ursprüngliche Kirche ist durch Sturmfluten verloren gegangen.
In Bant in de Noordoostpolder heeft een tulpenkweker een nieuwe tulpensoort de naam 'Stay Strong' gegeven. Een eerbetoon aan alle zorgmedewerkers. In een tulpenveld heeft hij met grote letters een figuur met "Stay strong" laten aanbrengen.
In Bant (Netherlands) a tulip-grower gave the name "Stay Strong" to a new Tulip, as a tribute to all
health care workers fighting the Coronavirus. In a massive tulipfield he created this hand with 2 tulips and the letters #staystrong

sunset image at Morib beach, Kanchong Laut, Morib Banting Selangor, Malaysia. Thanks for dropping by...... greatly appreciate your favs and comments...
Morib is a beach located in Selangor, Malaysia. Morib Beach (Pantai Morib) is a quiet seaside tourist attraction. It was one of the first landing points on the west coast for the British and Indian Army liberation forces during end of World War II in 1945. It is a small but suitable beach for swimming.
It is located near Simpang Morib, which is about 10 km from the town of Banting.[1] Morib attracts more than 10000 visitors annually notably during the month of August, festive seasons and public holidays. (Wikipedia)
This photo was taken in the Noordoostpolder near the town of Bant in the Netherlands. Just before the sun appears over the horizon. It was up early, fresh by the wind but what a colorful Good Morning!

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Banting:
Sir Frederick Grant Banting KBE MC FRS FRSC (November 14, 1891 – February 21, 1941) was a Canadian medical scientist, physician, painter, and Nobel laureate noted as the co-discoverer of insulin and its therapeutic potential.
In 1923, Banting and John Macleod received the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Banting shared the honours and award money with his colleague, Charles Best. That same year, the government of Canada granted Banting a lifetime annuity to continue his work. To this day, Frederick Banting, who received the Nobel Prize at age 32, remains the youngest Nobel laureate for Physiology/Medicine.

Pantai Kelanang is a series of beaches along a 3km coastal strip in Banting, that begins from a Malay village reservation and ends about 2km before Pantai Morib. Peaceful and tranquil with much of its surroundings intact, the beaches of Pantai Kelanang are lined with large pockets of mangrove trees that interrupt stretches of the shoreline. A small and narrow road that leads through coastal forest winds along the beach stretch, with partial stone embankments in place to protect against erosion. Hidden away by dense vegetation, there are far less visitors invading Pantai Kelanang - less facilities but much more secluded and peaceful.
