Macro Mondays

Decaying heart-shaped leaves of a fig ivy.

Södra Promenaden, Norrköping, Östergötland, Sweden

Clinging to the fence of a house, this rusty, decrepit ironwork reminded me of a metal flower from a more modern era.

Accroché à une barrière de maison cette ferronnerie rouillée et décrépie m’a fait pensée à une fleur métalique des temps plus si moderne que cela.

Over the last few years this boat has deteriorated, but it seems to be hanging on.

I was going to skip this week as I'm busy preparing to go away...but it was such a nice theme I couldn't resist a quick try with this tulip petal from the Spring. HMM everyone!

Just inculded this as i liked the Texture.

I overlayed a photo of a beautiful church window with a texture of peeling paint and cracked plaster.

Shot with the Olympus E-5 in North Bennington, Vermont.

I don't know what kind of pest is devouring these leaves, but they look to be made of tattered lace.

A Matter Of How You See It

Staircase in the abandoned army barracks La Chartreuse near Liege/ Belgium.

Looking out the window,

waiting,

I want to come with you.......

The "Seven Churches", a major destination for pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, but these days in ruins except for a small graveyard. The site is situated in the west of Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands in County Galway, Ireland.
