Macro Mondays theme: “candle”
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Really those Cement storage silos are black but Golden tone in sunny days.
Sun that make building site colourful and golden.. Really! when new buildings are ready, price will reaches as new golden city.
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,
and all of them going to the fair.
The Dicken's Christmas Fair to be exact. It's a Victorian visual feast between now and Christmas at the Cow Palace in Daly City. It's well worth a visit if you're local.
This lady is technically a candle maker and not a candlestick maker, I guess.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. A busker on his way to his pitch on Buchanan Street. Looks like a music maker and a young heart breaker. Enjoy!

"Ah, it was a time of sharing, of remembering, building, adventuring, dreaming ... but above all, it was the time of my kind, the time of mask makers ... those for whom the art of creating great Kanohi Masks from Kanoka Disks was all that we lived for."
The red light effect is actually an LED tube rolled in some red sheets, complemented with a faint blue light behind his back.

Photo of this bread maker was taken on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor during one of my trips to Egypt during the 1990s. Again, is a scanned image.
"Well then, this is a predicament isn't it?"
"There's no need to be shy now, I know you're there in the darkness. Step into the light."
"You ask who I am? Well, that is rather simple. What's the saying? 'Meet thy maker'?"
"Ah doubts, they're all around in the hearts and minds of you aren't they?"
"You know, I was once well known decades ago. But times change don't they? What was once important becomes coated in dust."
"It's funny, I know everything about you. Your story, your trials and triumphs. How it all ended."
"But you know nothing of me. I once had an island, friends, a status. They all left in the end, their beautiful minds turned."
"They used to come for me for help, for knowledge. But in the end knowledge corrupts. They saw my grand designs. They wanted no more."
"They called me a maniac. Well, sort of".
"The truth is I am the originator, the crafter, the maker. The Lego and the Ogel. I shaped this reality and have watched it twist away from my designs".
"I am the Infomaniac. And I want to play..."
An idea I've considered over the past year.
The Infomaniac is a strange and curious character. It is said in the Lego Island game that he created Lego island and the Brickster. Which is seemingly a godlike power.
I like to think he could be an eldritch entity in some shape or form. But with a very Willy Wonka like sinister personality.
Originally I was going to use a more sinister looking face. But none really matched the original look of the Infomaniac.
And yes, those are giant minifigure hands 😂

Because of my eager eyes…I was rejected from Heaven! I wished I was blind unable to judge beauty, except I was just an artist enjoying liberally a living masterpiece.
Looking, touching, feeling it; when the owner of the museum started to scream friendly: “It’s not allowed to touch”.
I kept smiling from the inside: “I’m an artist; I wouldn’t ruin a piece of art”. I just needed to be injected by its fragrance.
My heedlessness pushed the old man to loud his voice: “If you want to touch it, you have to buy it”.
I went so irritated, I wished it was smaller so I can steal it and run away. But it was big enough to erase my stupid idea, just by accepting its reality.
By the time I was getting blown by hating it for being so big, it was asking me somehow if I can return to be a stone, so they can expose me next to it, and then people would come and benefit from our beauty together. I turned my back laughing:
“Why should I be a stone, while men are the stone makers?! Why should I kill my senses and be a stone While feelings still lives in me?! Would it be the nothing? Or would I feel the stillness and serenity just as if I’m the stone’s father?
…Maybe.
But what’s the point? Where is my ambition?
The stone said: “Being a model is like being the crimson idol that you have always wished to be.
sooner your body will die and you’ll be barred away from eyes, away in the darkness, while people keep on searching for stones left by old civilizations, and since it incomes a lot for them, they put it under spotlights and they even buy an insurance for its everlasting life”.

This 18th century house was designed for stocking makers; the long first-floor window giving maximum light onto their work. The weavers worked on frames often rented from a hosier. The carding and spinning was traditionally done by women and children.
In the 18th century when cotton replaced wool, the Tewkesbury makers used two ply locally spun yarn. Nottingham makers, who used three ply Indian yarn, sponsored “The Tewkesbury Act” to enforce labelling of “superior” three ply stockings. Nevertheless, Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire remained a centre of the trade until mechanisation ended it.
Information provided by Tewkesbury Civil Centre which has recognised the importance of this building with a special plaque.
The Maker: Our hardworking rural women are the symbol of our women empowerment with a lot of difficulties. They are the real heroes for their family and us. The unseen heroes.
4 years back it was a nice photo journey at Manikganj .
I've had troubles with Umeko (don't know why, she just lacks something) and decided to try if she would work out better as a male.... I guess it was worth trying out the dandy-body for Umeko, look at this handsome creature *___*
I also have a weak spot for blond and white haired boys..... so Umeko will be a boy from now on! Maybe he will be a new member for the boyband?! 8D
silvercrest yoghurt maker is my latest buy from a charity shop £10
i love it!! very easy to use. nothing fancy. it's simply a warmer with an on and off switch, a pink pot, a white pot, two lids and a strainer. that's all i need.
you tube video is to show the parts of the yoghurt maker not the 'advice' given by the gentleman www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Lxg9Q3o1w (from 01.22 to 02.05)
i followed this yoghurt making you tube recipe www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU having used this recipe when learning how to make yoghurt during covid lockdown.
please note
the milk must always be boiled first, then removed from the heat and only added to the pink container each time when the temperature has dropped from boiling to 110fah www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU
1. i made my own yoghurt culture using chillies placed at the bottom of the pink container and 110fah whole milk poured into the pink container just covering the chillies, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, replaced the lid and switched on flic.kr/p/2kzNqmg i left the milk and chillies to process for a few hours, until set
(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 00.32)
2. i removed and discarded the chillies from the set yoghurt culture (1) and gradually poured 110fah whole milk into the yoghurt culture in the pink container to about halfway up the container, gradually stirring to prevent lumps, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, replaced the lid and switched on flic.kr/p/2kA7gKN i left the blended milk to process for a few hours until set
(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 01.47)
3. when set, for the final time (2) i repeated the procedure by gradually pouring extra 110fah whole milk into the blended milk of procedure (2) this time to fill the pink container, stirring to prevent lumps, placed the filled pink container in the yoghurt maker, switched on and left it for a few hours, until set
(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6laRiO7iaOU from 03.50)
4. i decided to strain the final set yoghurt of (3) though it can be eaten unstrained
the yoghurt maker is switched off. i poured the set yoghurt from the pink container into the meshed strainer and placed the filled mesh strainer inside the white container to collect the whey, the watery liquid, from the strained yoghurt and covered with the lid
every so often i removed the whey from the white container and then returned the yoghurt filled strainer into the white container to continue straining the yoghurt
once i was happy with the texture the strained yoghurt was ready.
notes
by adding salt to the yoghurt in stage (3) and removing all the whey in the final stage (4) the set yoghurt would become creamy soft cheese
(see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Z01S3GIGI&t=0s )
i'll make soft cheese another day :) flic.kr/p/2oqw3Q5
in the past to make the yoghurt i would have wrapped a lidded saucepan of warm milk in an electric blanket switched on to a low setting and safely placed both upstairs in a bedroom for hours.
a welcome tip to keep the milk at a constant warm temperature at each stage of the process sent from John Freshney www.flickr.com/photos/139753516@N02/
that method worked well for me when learning yoghurt making but this yoghurt maker placed on the kitchen work surface quietly processing is a game changer. simple, fun, much quicker and very happy with the result :)
ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily
www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ helps to gather ideas and encourages me to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
Himal Viraj leads a team of boiler makers in the Sri Lanka Railways vast workshops at Rathmalana, in the southern suburbs of Colombo. He was hoping to retire this year.

I saw this steer out of the corner of my eye while driving by. I had to back up. Appears like he had got his head stuck in a fence and someone cut that section of the fence to free him. Why they did not cut the rest off his head is beyond me. Did not appear to bother him though.
An event to celebrate crafts, engineering, science projects, etc. For and by all ages.All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.
