Broken is a word we all identify with. We have all, in our own ways, walked on feeble sticks hoping no one will notice that we have nothing to stand on.
If you feel this way these holiday days you are in my thoughts and I create for you.
Day 24 of my December self-portrait challenge.

for 7DoS: I'm happy that someone had put this yellow cover behind this broken window pane, as I think it helps give some contrast to this shot.
Macro Mondays theme - Broken Created in camera using the multiple function on camera as I felt this replicated the shaking of the earthquake that broke it HMM
The earthquake was in Christchurch on 22 February 2011, this pavalova plate given to me by my mother-in-law was one of the casualties in our home. I did have plans to maybe make something out of all the broken china but the round-to-it must also must have broken
Broken dreams are like broken shells, we all see them, we step on them but we don't do anything to fix them. -unknown author

I took this photo in Berlin, Germany in 2012 when it was located at the Neue Nationalgalerie.
Broken Obelisk is a sculpture designed by Barnett Newman between 1963 and 1967. Fabricated from three tons of Cor-Ten steel, which acquires a rust-colored patina. Four multiples of the sculpture exist. With the permission of the Barnett Newman Foundation, a fourth multiple was commissioned in 2003 and completed in 2005–06 by Lippincott, Merrifield, and Roberts. This last of the four multiples was installed in front of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 2007–08 and later acquired by Storm King Art Center.
Art critic Robert Hughes, writing on Broken Obelisk in 1971, said: Newman's pursuit of the sublime lay less in nature than in culture. This enabled him to pick ancient, man-made forms and return them to pristine significance without a trace of piracy. One index of that ability was his sculpture. Broken Obelisk, perhaps the best American sculpture of its time, is Newman's meditation on ancient Egypt: a steel pyramid, from whose apex an inverted obelisk rises like a beam of light. Here, Newman bypassed the Western associations of pyramids and broken columns with death, and produced a life-affirming image of transcendence. That unruffled self-sufficiency, beyond style, gave Newman's work its mysterious didactic value. It is not 'expressive'; the silence at the core bespeaks a man for whom art was a philosophical activity, a way of knowledge. [Wikipedia edited]
Whilst cooking boiled eggs for my dogs I noticed one had split in the pan and thought what a great subject for this weeks MM theme - hope you like it
This is my submission for the Macro Mondays theme Imperfection. This spirit level is imperfect in so many ways: it isn't level, the glass is broken and there are too many dirt spots to count. HMM

Broken Hill is an overlook and interesting example of erosion at the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve in San Diego, California. The erosion features are carved into the loose sand and mud of the Bay Point formation, deposits of inland sediments dropped along the coast when the oceans were higher around 120,000 years ago. The orange and brown hues of the formation are visually striking against the backdrop of the blue Pacific ocean in the distance.
The namesake Torrey Pines are a rare kind of pine tree found only here and on an island 100+ miles to the north.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Broken".
A little while ago my wife went to get a saucepan from a cupboard in the kitchen and a Pyrex dish slipped out and bounced into the side of our oven door,
The dish survived but it caught the oven door right on the side of the glass which being safety glass proceeded to shatter from left to right. It was just a sheer fluke and anywhere else the door may also have survived the encounter.
A few weeks later the new oven door parts arrived which I managed to install and this old one has been waiting for me to take it down to the refuse site but until now I hadn't got around to it. Therefore I decided to make one final use of it before it finally goes.
Shown in the photo is the right hand side of the door with glass still attached (Top half of photo) and a few bits of glass and a reflection (Bottom half).
Two of my favorite subjects to photograph in Hua Hin, Thailand.
As always, I appreciate your support. Thanks for stopping by!
