Something I was going to use for Macro Mondays 'Wire' theme but didn't get the time to finish before now.
Reminds me of the film 'The Andromeda Strain' here at Bank Station walking from the Central Line to connect with the Docklands Light Railway

SSC - Macro
This is a shot of a Hellebore that is currently growing in a pot in my garden, the flower was picked and shot indoors as there was a brisk breeze blowing.
The daylight had just begun to strain through the cracks in the dark brooding sky, a bitter north wind blew with a familiar fall chill that sent icy little darts of frozen rain drops pinging against my jacket and face; making me flinch. There wasn't another sound amidst the silence save the rustle of the wind in the trees. All was still except the occasional leaf or two that would blow by only to be lost in the dark shadows of the waning night.

This week's Macro Mondays effort, on the theme of 'Mesh',brings us a close up of what I call a tea strainer, but since the advent of teabags is now probably just known as a small sieve, Anyhoo, HMM y'all!

Snapped with a Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Domiplan 50mm f2.8 and one extension tube.
I took this photo for a new YouTube video on "Best Worst" lenses posted yesterday on YouTube.
The video included a mini review of the Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Primotar 135mm f3.5 I used recently, if you're interested:
It had been a stunning day she reflected as she pushed her bare legs down into the sleeping bag. It felt loose and fairly cool compared to the warmth of the evening outside. Slowly she stretched down the bag, tired limbs luxuriating as she got comfortable within the bedding.
Yes, they had walked all day up Glen Creran in the valleys behind Glencoe until they found the little Fairy Bridge. www.traveling-savage.com/2015/09/09/finding-fairy-bridge-...
Now the LandRover was parked on the water's edge of Loch Etive with another stunning outlook and backdrop, as the sun edged towards the horizon. Their Ventura Expedition tent was erected on the platform above the Landrover Defender roof, cosy and safe high above the ground. Miraculously it seemed to be midge free although she barely dared think it in case her thought tempted fate. It was so silent there.
She listened for a sound. The distant cry of a gull, over by the old jetty, then a slight scrape on the pebble beach below. Closer. She cocked an ear straining her senses to hear. Then there was another scraping sound, a pebble tripping over another.
Suddenly she felt the whole tent sway. Something was pushing the Landrover on its suspension. Then a faint vibration. She tensed. Was something coming up the aluminium ladder at the back?
Then she heard it. A low growl. Deep and throaty. Bear? It sounded big. A slight snorting sound, heavy breathing, and then the rumbling, throaty low growl again at the base of the ladder to her sleeping quarters. She sensed the platform tilt slightly as some weight came on the ladder. And she heard the growl again. Louder now. And much closer. It was coming up to her.
Finally she had had enough, and just wanted to sleep. Firmly she called out, "Stop messing about Michael, and get in bed!"
Ruined his fun that night that did.
Covered in verdigris and rusty, one wonders how much longer this link in the chain will last - even though it is quite thick.
Raccontami una storia
e se ci riesci stancami.
"Toccami e guardami a fondo
non lasciarmi mai
ti guardo negli occhi mentre te ne vai..."

"Oh could I catch the sounds remote
Could I but tell to human ear—
The strains which on the breezes float
And sing the requiem of the dying year."
