“I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.”
Quote ― Elizabeth Taylor
Or "Agata's Eye of the Cloud"
Macro Monday: #Rock
Goodness, another theme with way too many possibilities. Or probably I just have collected way too many minerals, rocks, stones... worry stones, that is... over the years. Worry stones. I begin to understand why they are called "worry" stones in English ;-) MM worry for sure ;-) In German these stones, often polished, semi-precious stones of a size that fits nicely into one's hand, are simply called "Handschmeichler". "Hand" is obvious, and "Schmeichler" roughly translates to "charmer" ;-).
This is a very close look at a (mostly - mostly?) rose coloured "eye" agate, taken today. I was surprised to find this pictogram-like cloud shape in close-up. And at the many different colours that appeared by simply applying some general processing steps (Luminar, ON1 Photo RAW). No filters used, no effects, just regular processing... I was running out of time anyway, so no danger of doing too much processing :-) This is another in-camera focus stacked image. The Oly's focus stacking function ROCKs ;-)
A Happy Macro Monday to you, and I wish you a colourful week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
Pictograms on the hide of a schematic white animal recall symbolic representations of Oceanic cult objects as well as North and South American Indian art,which Brauner collected in his studio at Montmartre.Brauner started to experiment with encaustic,a technique based on paint and wax when he sought refuge from World War ll in the Pyrenees.

Darkness to some is place that the Light has not yet reached, to others the Nox is the dancing partner of Lux and though night is the absence of day there transition and interplay is not seen and felt in opposing units each the same without delicate deft touches of extreme elegance revealing and concealing in always altering passions of intensity so light lingers and dark embraces our worlds of matter before our eyes and within the mind we ourselves sculpt through intensity the vast wonders of Light as character that duets with Dark as constant figure fashioning their fertile formations into our brightest and darkest imaginations such that we hold back the Light and entreat for Dark to withhold to block out that which we wish not to see not in the same amount that we beg for Light to show us more and illuminate further to discover that which the Dark has hidden from us.
Light gives texture with Dark holding the definition. Dark peels away the in layers that show Light on any subject. Textures in grain can be the line and the curve that define each and every surface with smooth and rough transitions being a mutable matter of distance and of magnification.

Part of a series I'm working on entitled: PUN INTENDED: A Strobist's Take On Rebuses. It's a pictogram so the title IS the image. Roll over note(s) for clues. Bottom right note has the answer.
Strobist: Gelled 430EX with homemade black straw gridspot behind;550EX with homemade black straw gridspot left.
Taken on Fomapan 100 with Minolta X-300 MD 50mm f/1.7.
Developed in Adox Rodinal 1+25 @ 4 min.
Postprocessed with The GIMP.
The reflections reveal a different landscape and an alternative pursuit. From the Hunt of the unfigured quarry to chase without focus can become the attainment. The Sun that travels over the Eastern horizon from fixed point to fixed point if viewed from the same station gives the broken arrow through the patterned crescent as a guide to location. The Solstice to Solstice travel has a centre found at the Equinox. Within the transit of the Sun we have fertility of all that has ever begun and we have ourselves as one within the world around us whether we choose to seek, to find, to run astray, to revel amok it is our way that we under the Sun display.
Positive and Negative versions are mirrored and reflected here sometimes offering an eternal horizon and also not. One to the other is a transformation that revolves around and around like our seasonal progressions about The Sun. Stone is often flattened and squared into working shapes and for older even ancient symbol stones and also for our contemporary memorial stones these cut and polished slabs hold iconic reference that we readily look at them for meaning and understanding. Our iconography changes through our cultural references and we still marvel at hieroglyphs and ponder at pictograms both modern easily interpreted shapes and signs as well as older more mystic fashions. When in certain areas of Scotland we are free to enjoy the sites of the original Pictish Symbol Stones and to wonder at their marvellous decoration that whispers of their ways and grants us access into their days.
This site is amazing with great views from the location of this stone. The half ton replica stands tall as a great beacon. When looking the Cross Motif viewers are facing east and this may have been a focus for outdoor worship. Due to the symbols and the story inscribed in pictures and icons some believe that the stone speaks of Baptism and that the Church here may have used local water sources specifically at Easter Times to host Baptism ceremonies.

On special request from several people who wondered how the toilet sign for "Men" would look like……
For those who missed the "Ladies" ;-)
Even though the S&C trains are terminating at Appleby due to the landslip the services are still strengthened. Here a Class 153 leads a 158 on a Appleby to Leeds service at Skipton. 158901 on the rear is in the Leeds Metro Pictogram livery.
After a visit to Basilica de Guadalupe we rode metro to the city centre for a visit to Museo Mural Diego Rivera The trip started on Metro Line #6. The city metro is very easy to use and allows easy access to the majority of tourist sites.
Mexico City metro is operated by the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (STC).
The system is the second largest metro system in North America after the New York City Subway.
The first line opened in 1969. Today there are 12 lines with 195 stations. The system was planned to be in service for the 1968 Summer Olympic games but missed the deadline by one year.
Line 6 with 11 stations opened in 1983. Its identifying colour is red. Each line has its own colour.
The fare for riding the Metro is five pesos for one journey anywhere you want to go as long as you do not exit the system.
Metro is open daily from 5am to midnight and each train has a women and children only car at the front of each train set.
For many, the subway is Mexico City’s largest museum. Metro has more than 30 murals, dozens of sculptures, museums, libraries, a planetarium, a movie theatre, a pyramid & an art gallery.
The pyramid in Pino Suárez station (line #1 - #2) is the temple of the Aztec god of the wind, Ehécatl, and was uncovered in downtown Mexico City during the subway’s excavations.
Hidalgo station (line #2 - #3) has an art gallery said to be the largest in the world displaying the works of 300 international artists in a 200,000-square-foot area.
Way finding logos on the metro are a legacy of the 1968 Mexico City Summer Olympic Games.
Pedro Ramírez Vázquez - a Mexican architect, town-planner & head of the Mexico City Organizing Committee for the games and Lance Wyman an American graphic designer & part of Pedro Ramírez Vázquez’s Olympic team adapted the Olympic-style pictogram system for the city’s subway.
The designs remain in use today. The stylized "M" for the COVID spacing circles is one of those pictograms.
