The web of domination has become the web of Reason itself, and this society is fatally entangled in it. ~Herbert Marcuse~

I had an extra day off today because of the Thursday Holiday, so I took a walk this morning around our hood looking for some shots for the Saturday group. The theme is Entangled. I decided to try a black and white to show off the textures and give it a mysterious look. Tree entangled by strangled fig.
Happy Smile on Saturday!
This owl is entangled in a net that someone carelessly left in a tree. We managed to carefully cut the net and free the bird without damaging its wings. Once free, the owl immediately flew up to the cactus, and then disappeared into the jungle.

I tried. I really tried to knot beautiful knots all Sunday evening. I have a box full of paracord in different colours which I've bought for a camera shoulder strap project, but I never got beyond making a few wrist straps so far. I tried (the operative word is tried) to make a few Celtic style knots with the paracord, also surgical knots, the monkey's fist knot (which ended up looking like an exploding Death Star)... Let's admit it, I'd be lost if I were to rely on my knot knotting abilities. What I succeeded in was inadvertidly tangling up a very thin golden necklace (each link is only 1 mm / 0.039 inches long) which I've borrowed from my Mother for the theme. The necklace now has knots where I've never intended them. I suppose I'll be in serious trouble if I don't manage to un-knot the necklace. But I have my photo ;)
Image taken with the Lensbaby SOL 22 (equipped with the 16mm extension tube) which came to my MM rescue today. I had the necklace tangled up on a black tile, and chose the two nicest looking knots as main subject. For illumination I've used a yellow light from the left, and a handheld (upper right position) flashlight which I've shone through the blue tealight holder for a rather nice electric blue effect. Processed with the usual suspects DXO PhotoLab 4, Color Efex, Analog Efex, and Luminar AI.
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Looked almost wicked...

... amongst some grass. Not sure what the object is ... as old seed pod perhaps ... but it took my attention, looking lost amongst the grass.
Every picture tells a story. So I'm told.
