My contribution to today's Marco Monday is: a piece of middle size Akadama in ice. I really like the small hole in the ice.
And the Akadama peeping through.
Thanks for your favourites and comments, they are all really appreciated.

contribution to macro mondays challenge for 8/7/19, theme: Danger.
And to depict this one of the most dangerous things on the planet from many points of view. This may well be on the borders of what is acceptable and it's questionable just how much of the image is driven by introspection.
Finally: "no drugs were harmed in the making of this image". Just one paracetamol capsule and a teaspoon of flour. The hardest part was finding money that still rolls up!

Hi,
This is my contribution to Macro Monday June 27th theme "Line Symmetry". I'm really hoping I have enough symmetry from the forks in this shot to qualify for the theme. I tried with a leaf and didn't like the pictures.
The two forks are in a bath of water+milk with micro LED lighting the bottom of the mill bath since the LED are coloured they created the ethereal glow in the milk. A lot of similar pic use an egg in the middle but since we just bought cherries at the market I decided the color and texture was nicer.
Hope you like it.

Contribution to MM challenge for 7/9/20 - theme: "Footwear"
Steel toe DM. Often (even at the age of 50 something!) essential gig going footwear.
I've got a strange addiction to big crowds of people/strangers with one thing in common, whether it be the band or the team. One thing I'm not addicted to is having my toes stood on. Of course I could just move my ageing bones away from the crowd but where's the fun in that!

Hermann Star Mills was built by Henry Reitemeyer and Mattias Kochele in 1867, and was the first steam powered grist mill built in Hermann. Completed in the fall of 1867, it was first advertised in the "Hermanner Volksblatt" of March 21st. 1868. Reitemeyer was one of Hermann's more wealthy merchants. In 1860 he operated a water powered saw and grist mill as well as a general store. Hermann Star Mills was assesed at $14,750.00 in 1868 Although Reitemeyer was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1871, his milling business remained an important contribution to the economy of Hermann.
In 1880 a new steam engine was purchased at a cost of $7,000.00. In 1892 a listing of the machinery of the mill stated the a 125 horse power engine provided power for the machinery. It was also noted that the mill was lit by coal oil lanterns and there was no plumbing or heat. In 1898 a stove was placed in the office. By 1908 electricity and steam heat had been added. By 1917 the mill had city water.
After the demise of the milling business in the dark days of the depression, the mill went through a series of transformations including a cheese factory, furniture storage and paint store, and a pencil factory prior to becoming a machine shop under two different managements.
When Greg McDonnell was still editing Kalmbach's annual, "Locomotive," I was delighted he asked me to provide a few contributions. In this case, Greg asked if I might have a photo of L&N 314 in service. Yes, I did---four or five in fact. His interest was the ongoing restoration of this unit at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union. My best shot--a black and white of the unit leading L&N train 65 in a meet with opposite number 66 at Wilhoit, Ky. on May 29, 1965--was accompanied by a short text explaining the significance of the 314.
I really like this shot in black and white, as Kodak intended, but I decided to colorize it just for fun. There was also a "going away" shot I colorized as well. Train 65's brand new caboose that day was No. 1148, one of many bay window cabooses built new at the L&N's South Louisville Shops. RS-3 No. 138 was later selected for an experimental repowering with an EMD prime mover, coming out of the shop in an attractive blue paint scheme with a yellow-gold band.
Sadly, "Locomotive" expired along with Kalmbach Publishing. Greg did a superb job, and I still read through the issues I kept. Thanks, Greg, for allowing me a chance to participate. It was my honor.
Do I wish I had Kodachrome in my camera that day rather than Tri-X Pan monochrome film? I don't know. I'll always prefer my "classic" black and whites over the "phony" color versions.
Glasgow
The Mary Barbour statue in Glasgow is a tribute to a remarkable woman who played a pivotal role in the 1915 rent strikes. Located at Govan Cross, the statue was unveiled on March 8, 2018, coinciding with International Women's Day. Mary Barbour led "Mrs. Barbour's Army," a group of women who protested against landlords exploiting wartime poverty by raising rents. Their efforts led to the Rent Restriction Act of 1915.
The statue, created by sculptor Andrew Brown, depicts Barbour leading her "army" and serves as a reminder of her contributions to social justice and housing reform. She was also one of Glasgow's first female councillors and a champion for maternity benefits, education, and equal voting rights.
Mary Barbour was born on February 20, 1875, in Kilbarchan, a village in Renfrewshire, Scotland. She grew up in a working-class family, with her father being a handloom carpet weaver. Her early life in Kilbarchan and later in Elderslie shaped her understanding of the struggles faced by working-class communities, which influenced her activism later in life.
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Photographic equipment", on 25 November 2024. It's been a while since I used any of these, and not just because I no longer have a 72mm lens.
The Occupy Wall Street movement became known not only for its gathering culture and the creative communication tools that developed around it. Because the authorities prohibited the use of technology, individual contributions were repeated with a slogan. Listeners expressed their responses through hand gestures.
De occupy Wallstreet beweging werd niet alleen bekend om haar cultuur van samenkomst en de creatieve communicatie middelen die zich eromheen ontwikkelde. Omdat de autoriteiten het gebruik van technologie verboden waren, werden de individuele bijdragen herhaald met een leuzenspreuk. Luisteraars gaven hun reacties door middel van handgebaren.

Galileo Galilei was an important Italian scientist, physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher. His scientific contribution started a new era in the history of astronomy, he was the first astronomer to access new knowledge using the telescope. He defended the concept that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy, on February 15, 1564, son of Vincenzo Galilei and Julia Ammannati. His parents noticed Galilei's great intelligence and special aptitudes from an early age. The boy showed an interest in the arts and performed excellent paintings, demonstrating manual skill and creativity to manufacture toys and contraptions. He played the organ and zither with aplomb. Thus, Galilei excelled in studies at the Sunday school in Vallombrosa and planned to enter the monastery, but his father did not agree with the idea and enrolled him to study medicine at the University of Pisa. Two years after joining, he dropped out of the course and went to dedicate himself to the study of mathematics. The move did not please his father, and Galilei ended up dropping out of the University in 1585. He did not complete any degrees, but in the same year he went to Florence and began giving private lessons to support himself. He stood out for his research in geometry and continued with his mathematical studies.
It was at this time that he invented the hydrostatic balance, a mechanism that would be published in a detailed treatise in the year 1644. In 1589, in recognition of his scientific contributions and brilliant reasoning, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics at the University of Pisa. He was not welcomed by teachers, as he was only 25 years old, had incomplete academic training and publicly discredited Aristotle's established theories. In 1590 Galilei published a treatise on the motion of bodies. In 1591 he was removed from the professorship, after succumbing to intrigues and disputes with Aristotle's supporters. In 1592 he was appointed by the Senate of Venice to teach mathematics at the University of Padua, a position he would hold for 18 years. In 1609 he built a telescope based on the one previously invented by Hans Lippershey in Holland. Galilei made meticulous observations of the sky and incredible discoveries: he located the four largest moons of Jupiter and the mountains and craters on the Moon's surface. And when he detected spots present on the Sun's surface, the discovery helped to prove his theory that the star rotated on an axis. He investigated Saturn and observed what appeared to be two fixed moons, which were the edges of Saturn's ring system, but Galilei's telescope was not accurate enough to determine exactly what those points were.
His findings were collected and published in March 1610 in the book “The Messenger of the Stars”. The work was acclaimed and also generated much controversy, as Galilei publicly defended Nicolaus Copernicus' theory that the Sun was the center of our Solar System, not the Earth. At that time, the Catholic Church fully controlled science and held the opposite view, that the center was the Earth.
In 1616 Galilei was cornered by the authorities of the Inquisition and threatened with the death penalty if he did not publicly deny the scientific truths he had proved. He was expressly prohibited from teaching and propagating ideas that were contrary to the position of the Church. Even so, in 1632 he published the "Dialogue Concerning the Two Greatest Systems of the Universe", causing the Church's total rejection and intolerance. Prevented from continuing with his research and theories, the scientist retired to his castle located in Arcetri, a village near Florence, where he dedicated himself to pursuing his experiments alone.
Galileo Galilei died on January 8, 1642 in Arcetri, Italy. He was almost blinded by the observation of sunspots done without adequate protection for decades. Three hundred and fifty years later, through Pope John Paul II, on October 31, 1992, the Catholic Church formally recognized the legitimacy of Galilei's theories.

My contribution on this weeks theme 'odd' @ Fotosöndag is about an unique birding event that most Sweedes know about
The gathering of thousands of Common Cranes and people wathing them @ Lake Hornborga every spring & autumn is - in positive terms - a very unique phenomenon. The photo shows my son climbing in front of the lake, a symbol that birding can be a great family event! During the pandemic the number of people visiting the lake have been less, so social distancing were not a problem
The reasons why so many cranes makes a pitstop at this lake is a fascanating story, you can read about it at my photo Important Wetland

Thanks to Dimitri Depaepe for the original photo :)
This IS a Contraption!! At one stage, I made a number of really FUN Steampunk cloth dolls ( from commercial patterns- by 'Frowning Francis', for the Crafters among you) I collected tons of rusty bottle caps, pieces of rusted metal, springs, a derelict watch that a Dear Friend donated to the cause ( I dismantled it with difficulty) etc! I created this 'thingamy' but never got round to fastening it together. Anyway, for what it is worth, it is my contribution to MM's 'Contraptions' prompt. It is an Alternate Sponser- as, if it WERE all connected, I feel certain that it would Sponse, alternately!! And so it should!! ( please note- any similarity between an Alternate Sponser and Alternate Facts is purely coincidental!!!)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulphur_Mountain_(Alberta)
ELEVATION 2281 m 7486 ft
Sulphur Mountain (Nakoda: Mînî Rhuwîn) is a mountain in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains overlooking the town of Banff, Alberta, Canada.
The mountain was named in 1916 for the hot springs on its lower slopes. George Dawson had referred to this landform as Terrace Mountain on his 1886 map of the area. Sanson's Peak was named in 1948 for Norman Bethune Sanson who diligently attended the observatory recording equipment atop Sulphur Mountain for nearly 30 years.
Two hot springs have been commercially developed. The lowest is the Cave and Basin National Historic Site and the highest is the Banff Upper Hot Springs.
A gondola on the eastern slope goes to the summit ridge which has an upper terminal containing three restaurants, a gift shop, and multiple observation decks. The summit ridge provides views both westward up and east down the Bow Valley. A boardwalk can be followed on the north side to the top of Sanson's Peak (2,256 m or 7,402 ft).
The original, and more scenic, summit access is along an old fire road (Sanson Road) on the Southwest face of the mountain with a distance of 5.8 km from the Banff Sundance Canyon trail system near the Bow River. Another 5.4 km switchback trail route exists under the gondola with trailhead access from the Banff Hot Springs parking lot near the gondola terminal.
The mountain has been the site of two research facilities. In 1903, a meteorological observatory building was completed atop Sanson Peak. This building still exists and visitors can look through a window to see its interior complete with rustic furnishings. In the winter of 1956-57, the National Research Council built a small laboratory on Sanson's Peak in order to study cosmic rays as part of Canada's contribution to the International Geophysical Year (IGY). The Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station remained in operation until 1978 and the building was removed in 1981. A plaque now marks the site's location.
The hot springs at the base of Sulphur Mountain are home to the endangered Banff Springs snail and the now-extinct Banff longnose dace.

Hello my Flickr friends!
This is my contribution to 2 awesome Flickr Groups:
*ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ and the theme for today is Red and Color my World Daily with the color Yellow for today.
I must admit red is a very popular color!!! And it is always interesting to see how it matches with other colors. But red and yellow? That is a major risk of burning your retina!! Be careful and please wear glasses if your eyes are sensitive to vivid color exposure!!! I don’t want to be the one telling you: I told you so!!! I know someone who looked directly at the sun and lost 10% of her vision (yes, it was a friend of mine and no it was not me!). And apparently it may also happen if you are a man and you stare at women’s cleavage…. So, Messieurs, be careful!!
So here we go, everything we need is in our purses and we are ready to climb that gigantic egg!! Who is coming with us?? Double challenge: red half of my picture is for *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ and yellow half of my picture is for Color my world Daily Group!
Thank you so much for your comments /favs and support! I’m humbled and grateful!!! I wish you all an amazing day and see you soon on Flickr (how about tomorrow ??)!!
