“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.

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.
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.

For those who missed the "Ladies" ;-)
Chemical Hazard pictograms.
Present in our daily life, both at home and at workplace.
Did you ever stop and read the hazard phrases and safety precautions?
Are you aware of the dangers of the chemicals you use?
...taken by the Deutsche Presse-Agentur... pictogram sculpture by Ottmar Hoerl is called as "Mr. Quick"...
Frankfurt, Germany...
The granite exterior walls are carved with letters, pictograms, hieroglyphs and symbols from more than 120 different human scripts.
The library is right on the seafront, but the main entrance and ticket office are at the back of the complex.
I made a wee bookmark for Urban Outfitters - they'll be free in stores quite soon I believe.
Characters for a probably ludicrous novel I'd definitely read (left to right, top to bottom): Librarian, Explorer, Explorer's Ghost, Nurse, Robot, Geisha, Fisherman, Femme Fatale, Captain, Sailor (Sailorette?), Bandit and Invalid Banker.
