The Old Malt House, Markyate, Hertfordshire. Before the coming of the railway, the village was an important stop for everybody travelling between London and the Midlands. There were hotels and dozens of pubs and brew houses (such as this one). What is left today are three pubs and their survival is not guaranteed.
The coffee blend in these capsules is called "Venezia", homage to a beautiful, unique city that I love so much. I chose golden light because it reminds me the mosaics in San Marco’s cathedral in Venice. Happy Macro Monday
the macromonday theme for today, 2/4, is brew- coffee or tea :)
i happened to be putting some things away and realized this pin (the shortened form) would work if i didn't include other letters and the dangly things ~grin~.. adding the teabag made it sort of minimal, eh?
this portion of the pin is 4cm, well under the 3 inch max.
will include a context picture in a bit, in the first comment box
Macro Monday: #Brew
Diameter of the Yin & Yang: 4,5 cm / 1,7 inches
Old idea revisited (I had made a Yin & Yang for "Seeds" with black and white sesame seeds way back in April 2017). Actually I wanted to do a Mandala sort of thing, but didn't have the time to make even a simple one, and I'm not sure if it would have worked at all with tea and ground coffee. Here, obviously, the coffee beans represent the "Yang", containing caffeine, a beverage we usually drink first thing in the morning to wake us up, or after lunch / dinner (food coma!), or, more generally, for that extra "kick" of energy. And, opposed to that, or also complementing it, the "Yin" of herbal tea / infusion (the green is Tulsi, the orange is Rooibos with some other herbs), with a soothing, relaxing, warming, cosy and comforting effect. Not the traditional concept of Yin and Yang, because both "opposing" parts here are Yin, and the coffee Yang is the element that sort of stirs up that harmony, but then this is what coffee does, doesn't it? My first idea was to make a funny face with a slice of lemon, mint leaves and fresh ginger, because that is my "brew" of choice all day long, but wasn't sure if fresh ingredients are allowed. So here you go, not the most original thing for "Brew", but I think it turned out nice enough.
I used an eggcup to shape the tea circle. Put the camera on the tripod "head first" . So no cardboard box stacking this time, but in-camera focus stacking :-) Quickly processed in Luminar 3: foliage filter for the Tulsi-Yin, increased saturation of the orange tones for the Rooibos-Yin, all over detail enhancement (small) and microstructure, and structure enhancement on the coffee-bean-Yang. Back to PS, copied the layer, then back to Luminar, where I applied the Luminar look "Color Intensify Bold", back to PS, where I blended that layer with the first Luminar layer with "soft light" and 50 percent opacity. Merged the layers, and applied two strokes as a layer style to make an image border, added a new layer, selected the inside area of the border, and filled the stroke (2 px), added my signature. Done with the Strange Brew :-)
Please press "Z". A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Nicht die originellste Idee für "Brew", weil ich 2017 für "Seeds" schon mal was Ähnliches gemacht hatte. Aber die Zeit war mal wieder knapp und dieses etwas unübliche Yin und Yang (unüblich, weil hier der Kreis zu gleichen Teilen aus Tee-Yin besteht und das Yang nur durch die beiden Kaffebohnen repräsentiert wird) war recht schnell gemacht und funktioniert als Foto auch ganz gut. Tee-Yin: beruhigend, entspannend, wärmend, so wie hier die beiden koffeinfreien Kräutertees Tulsi (grün) und Rotbusch (orange); Kaffee-Yang, na klar, belebend, anregend, manchmal auch aufregend, wenn er mal wieder zu stark war ;-) Eigentlich schwebte mir ein Mandala vor, aber das wäre für die Kürze der Zeit doch zu kompliziert gewesen.
In Luminar 3 bearbeitet: Grünverbesserung beim Tulsi, Verstärkung der Orangesättigung beim Rotbusch, Struktur bei den Kaffeebohnen und beim ganzen Bild Microstruktur und Detailverbesserung (klein). Zurück zu PS, die Ebene kopiert, diese dann in Luminar geöffnet, dort den Luminar-Look "Color Intensiy Bold" angewendet, zurück zu PS, die letzte Ebene mit weichem Licht und 50 Prozent Deckkraft überblendet, die Ebenen zusammengefügt und den Rahmen hinzugefügt (zwei Konturen; und eine innere Kontur auf einer neuen Ebene mit Auswahl, Bearbeiten, Kontur füllen [2 Px]). Fertig ist das seltsame Gebräu :-)
An approaching storm heads over Red Eagle Mountain and St. Mary's Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana. This storm was moving so fast that I ran just to get this shot quickly before it was on top of me.
Our first visit to Brass Elk Brewing. It sits on the bank of the Elkhart River, with a great outdoor dining area....which is enclosed with heaters this time of year....it was snowing might I add. We chose to eat indoors.
One of the strangest and most diverse sunsets I've seen was witnessed on Haukland Beach, Lofoten, Norway... Where else? :-) Changing almost by the second due to quickly passing stormclouds, snow- and rainshowers, it was beautiful to watch.

Took this picture Friday (Oct. 8, 2021) while on my way to Stockton CA. Bonneville Salt Flats, west of the Great Salt Lake, Utah. Ran into first snow of the year about 100 miles west of here in Nevada. Wasn't much, just a couple of inches which had fallen before I got there, so pretty much just a little slush.
I'm doing fine, other than working my ass off. Near Portland Oregon right now, have a delivery at 2230, the back to our terminal to grab another loaded trailer and deliver it at 0300. Only about 100 miles total driving between the two deliveries, just ugly hours. Then picking up a load tomorrow evening at 1800 and headed to Central California to deliver that one Wednesday at 0500.
I'm planning to retire in June unless my 401K and stock investments tank. So far I'm in pretty good shape despite crazy market gyrations. Up over 4K today, mostly due to my SOFI stocks going up over 10%. My other favorite stock is Palantir PLTR. I've been actively trading stocks this year and up over 20%. Tried day trading when I had a day off, did terrible and lost a little over $900. Swing trading has been pretty successful so far, winning more than losing. Earlier this year I was down over 30K, but knew Palantir would turn around. Took about two and a half months, but my conviction finally paid off and now up over 15K just with swing trading PLTR. Enough stock talking, needless to say I enjoy trading stocks and looking forward to retirement to do more and hopefully helping to fund my retirement.
Still doing photography, not as much, but still stop when I see an opportunity to capture something interesting to me, like this stormy scene over the salt flats. Once retired planning to do a lot more photography and traveling without the crappy schedule of trucking.
I've been healthy, fully vaccinated despite all the political noise over vaxed or non-vaxed. For me, the risk from the vaccine versus not getting vaccinated was a no brainer. My daughter the "covid" nurse, son-in-law and three grandchildren just had covid. Wasn't severe, only a few days feeling like crap for the adults. The grandchildren tested positive but never showed and symptoms. My 88 year old mom, is doing great, vaxed and still working out everyday with her Comrade Jane Fonda work out videos. Brad her little dog is grown up, still small and according to her, a good little bed buddy.
Feel guilty posting knowing I'll only have time to visit a few of you. But posting for anyone wondering if I'm still alive, just wanted to let you know I am. I do miss all of you. Just busy making as much money as I can before retirement. Huge shortage of truck drivers, so they're paying us more and keeping us very busy.
I have tons of pictures to post, so once I'm retired pretty sure everyone will get sick of me and my comments. lol, hopefully not.
Macro Mondays 'brew' theme.
I don't drink normal black tea or coffee but do enjoy herbal and fruit teas - varieties of rooibos and white teas being among my favourites. For this week's MM theme I've chosen a grapefruit pyramid tea bag and a few chamomile flowers.
The image measures approx 5 cm in width
My 'brew' each morning helps to get me going!

I'm happy that Photo Argus included this photo in their 40 lovely pictures of tea feature.
A Witches Brew, topped with an eyeball. Better know as a halloween EyeBall. "Here's mud in your eye, kid." HMM!
As we know from quantum physics, reality is not only particle but also wave. To isolate out a particle is to distort reality. To stop a musical performance to isolate the notes played in a given moment is to cause the sonata to cease to be music. The frozen moment of a ballet dancer’s leap makes for a beautiful photograph, but it is not the same thing as dance. Though the isolated notes and leap are part of music and dance, music and dance can exist only within the flow of time.
