Macro Monday
Theme: Card
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
The subject is a corner of an old Chinese New Year greeting card.
I chose this card because I wanted to create some depth to the image through that paper cut window with lighting effects.
There are 2 light sources , a yellow incandescent table lamp light at 2 o'clock and a small LED light at 4 o' clock.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated.
HMM
do not use all of it :-)

No true peace or prosperity until acknowledgement of and reckoning for genocide, slavery and racism.
Better days ahead?
The winds of change are blowing.
Time will tell.
Last chance to get it right.

This Tern chases all of the other Terns away from the tidal gate area at Bolsa Chica. He wants is all and he's quite successful!

I wish everyone happiness and prosperity!
I was on the road on New Year's Eve. I found a table in the city park of Kaluga. I drank already cold coffee and ate a delicious gingerbread. And continued my journey.
Italy, Veneto, Verona
Verona is a city on the River Adige in Veneto, Italy. It is one of the main tourist destinations in Northern Italy because of its artistic heritage and several annual fairs and shows as well as the opera season in the Arena, an ancient Roman amphitheater. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the city was ruled by the della Scala family. Under the rule of the family, in particular of Cangrande I della Scala, the city experienced great prosperity, becoming rich and powerful and being surrounded by new walls. The Castel Vecchio Bridge, or Scaliger Bridge, is a fortified bridge. The segmental arch bridge featured the world's largest span at the time of its construction (48.70 m). It was built (most likely in 1354-1356) by Cangrande II della Scala, to grant him a safe way of escape from the annexed eponymous castle in the event of a rebellion of the population against his tyrannic rule.
For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Currency".
The Coin (1 inch in Diameter) in the front with Chinese Character 乾隆通寶 was a kind of cash coins produced under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1735 to 1796).
The gold ingot behind the coin called Yuanbao 元寶, was also a currency used in the first dynasty of Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC.
At the present days, they remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity and are commonly depicted during the Chinese New Year festivities.
As today is Chines New Year's Eve, I wish my Flickr friends a healthy and prosperous year!
HMM!

In Flanders Fields by John Mccrea
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for November 9th is “poppies”, in honour of Armistice Day and Veterans Day, both of which are celebrated on the 11th of November every year. This red poppy I actually photographed in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne a year ago, when whilst I visited there, I came across beds full of beautiful poppies in all kinds of colours. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile, and that it helps you reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace, prosperity and stability, and those who fight today to protect us still. Let us also hope that conflicts around the world will come to a swift conclusion, not least of all in Ukraine and in Gaza.
Armistice Day or Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. It falls on the 11th of November every year. Remembrance Day is marked at eleven o’clock (the time that the armistice was declared) with a minute’s silence to honour the fallen. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.
Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November the 11th, for honouring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
"A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings."

The bluebird is a symbol of hope, love, and renewal and is also a part of many Native American legends. It symbolizes the essence of life and beauty. Dreaming of bluebirds often represents happiness, joy, fulfillment, hope, prosperity, and good luck.
May the happiness and joy of this season bring hope and prosperity to all peoples of all faiths and beliefs
Some words of St. Francis of Assisi which I feel are appropriate
‘Where there is discord, may we bring harmony.
Where there is error, may we bring truth.
Where there is doubt, may we bring faith.
And where there is despair, may we bring hope’
A very Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends around the world and thank you for all the kind comments and favs you have given me over the year. All are very much appreciated and read. Thank you also to all those who view and hopefully enjoy what they see.

also sounding like "lucky gold" in Chinese, kumkwat is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
It is a Chinese tradition to place a pot of fully bloomed kumkwat at home during the festive season.

Memory of a good companion lost last week, never did like his pic being taken, gone but not forgotten
Guang Fu Temple
The temple, which is a mix of modern and Art Deco architecture styles, is believed to be over 100 years old.
It started out as a small wooden temple with Tua Pek Kong as its resident deity.
Over the years, the temple was renovated and extended but some of its original furnishings such as the ornately carved wooden altar and the statues of the deities were maintained.
Today, other than the Tua Pek Kong, devotees can also offer prayers to other deities such as the Goddess of Mercy and Buddha in the temple.

The Bank of China tower is a true architectural icon of the Hong Kong built environment. Designed by the legendary I.M. Pei and completed in 1990, this building remains a potent symbol of prosperity & growth.
Unfortunately, the viewing gallery on the the 43rd floor is no longer open to the public.
I had in mind to place 8 bills in a frame, which according to Feng Shui, 8 is money/prosperity number. It took me three years to find the perfect frame, and finally I found one at Thrift Store.
