During this morning's walk, I noticed various weeds preparing to drop their seeds. Apparently, it's called 'Queen Anne's Lace'.
This one in particular caught my eye. I had my Q2M with me and although it has a macro mode, it still uses a 28mm lens.
When I got home and zoomed in, I was amazed at the detail of this plant. It was maybe only 5cm in diameter but it certainly appeared to 'cage in' all of its new seeds. Had I not taken this pic and had the ability to view it enlarged, I would never have noticed this intricacy of nature.
A high key B&W displays the detail well.
My annual Elm in Pedestrian Walkway Cage shot...
It is a traditional image beloved by the hobos and the MMA fighters.

In den Wiedertäufer Käfigen, die an der Kirche St. Lamberti hängen, wurden die Überreste der Anführer der Wiedertäufer, hoch über dem Prinzipalmarkt, zur Schau gestellt.
"Every touch, of every scene
Is just beautifully broken as a bird without wings...We'll never know what it's like to be free, how do you show, what can't be should be?" -Katie Herzig
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

Metal cage for a floodlight uplighting the State Library of South Australia heritage building on the corner of North Terrace and Kintore Avenue.
The Cage at Lyme Park was originally built around 1580 as a hunting lodge where the ladies of the British nobility could admire the prowess of their menfolk as they hunted stag on the slopes below......Watch the video below.

I think this photo is a little deceiving but a simple title like Caged seems to fit. The cockatoo though was actually being very friendly and cheeky and was following me around for a chat. Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos at the Hunter Valley Zoo
From a walk on Thanksgiving Day. I was struck by the contrasts in this scene. The branches seemed like a cage with this beautiful, golden tree behind in the fog.
Top view, with look out compartment removed.
I took out the 17-cm wheel that came with this cage and replaced it with a 21-cm wheel from the same brand. A lot of cages cannot fit this 21-cm wheel and this one nearly couldn't either - the gaps are really small. If the wheel were just half a cm bigger, it would have been simply impossible.

My son Daniel brought along his Guy Fawkes mask so I stuck him behind bars and shot him for treason!

I want a good tripod!!
I have been doing a lot of these. And if truth be told, these are not my absolute favorite ones of the series: Those I am keeping under my hat for now... ;-)
The poses are by Frigg Ragu. The preset used is a modified version of London 2050 by Mescaline Tammas. I reduced the gamma to practically zero and then added a lot of tiny light prims set to a very low range scattered all around the avatars.
Needless to say, the original SL photograph has subsequently been very heavily deconstructed in photoshop.
Stood one end of a motorway bridge, I could already visualise how this would look.
The long bold lines converging into the vanishing point, the patterns made by the wire mesh that caged me in.
I love being able to see these things in my mind before I take the shot!!
I feel incredibly lucky to have this ability :)
