Macro shot of some grass seeds in the summer sunlight and when editing I was stunned by the beauty of this small world !!
Die Halde Haniel in Bottrop ist mit 159 m Höhe (184,9 m über Normalnull) eine der höchsten Halden des Ruhrgebiets. Aufgetürmt wurde sie in Form zweier Spiralen durch Abraum der Steinkohlezeche Prosper-Haniel.
2002 installierte der baskische Künstler Augustin Ibarrola 100 bemalte Bahnschwellen, die "Totems", auf der Halde, um die "scheinbaren Gegensätze von Industrieraum und Natur" zusammenzuführen.
At a height of 159 m (184.9 m above sea level), the Haniel heap in Bottrop is one of the highest heaps in the Ruhr area. It was piled up in the form of two spirals from overburden from the Prosper-Haniel coal mine.
In 2002, the Basque artist Augustin Ibarrola installed 100 painted railway sleepers, the "totems", on the heap in order to bring together the "apparent contrasts of industrial space and nature".
This is a macro shot of one particular spot on an arching steel construction (one of many) erected along the main Erba Park pathway for the 2012 Bavarian state horticultural exhibition. Modern art archways along the canal, metal that was supposed to corode. When I shot the photo, it seemed to be a dull corroded brown. But then I took a closer look in Lightroom and saw the rest. Sunshine had brought out its texture and varied color. I had a 16mm AF extension tube mounted between lens and camera. A re-edited archives shot. [FUJI5168_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
Well it is too early in the morning to correct my macro shot so I am moving on.
Have to get past the little things.

In a striking B&W macro shot,
a solitary droplet clings to a weed,
encapsulating a world of intricate reflections that reveal nature's delicate beauty !!
