Rusty ol' rail spikes, bolts, clamps, an old piece of rail and other bits piled on a table at the Niles Canyon Railway maintenance yard near Sunol, California.
After a heavy regional rain, a heap of cumulus was moving down to the mountain spilling over the "table", but the sky at the other side was clear and blue. It's a rare chance to catch this sporadic view, I was lucky to have this shot......!!!

"The task/inspiration is to photograph something that requires your camera to be pointed vertically upward. Ideally this will be something that you don't normally see such as the plumbing under a sink; the underside of of cars, bikes..." despite being an "old guy" with creaky joints and the like I decided to go under. I've done a bazillion flower undersides etc. and getting down under the sink is just a bit too "under" for these old knees so I compromised and went under the table. Not much under there so this is what I came up with.
Happy Macro Monday!

A Spirit Table at "The Dark Secrets Exhibition", an immersive occult art and history exhibition at The Vaults in London Waterloo.
- The Table: A classic Victorian-style wooden tripod pedestal table. The top surface has been uniquely customized to replicate a spirit board (Ouija board), complete with an alphabet arc, numbers, and the French words "OUI" (Yes), "NON" (No), and "FIN" (End) painted in gold lettering.
- The Atmosphere: The setup is framed against a vintage damask wallpaper background and dimly lit to recreate the mysterious ambiance of a Victorian spiritualist parlor or seance room.
I like the can, not so much the contents. We love eating outside and the weather has been just perfect for that.

It is just after sunrise on the porch at Mackinac Island's Grand Hotel overlooking Lake Huron and the Mackinaw Bridge. The porch of the hotel is long, wide, and spacious. I found myself alone on this end of the porch and the tables and chairs were set up just as they appear here. Just by chance, I have caught the sun reflecting directly off the bridge uprights.
The Mackinaw Bridge connects Michigan's upper and lower peninsula in the USA and is five miles long. It divides Lake Michigan from Lake Huron and is the chief navigational tool for boats crawling through the Straights Of Mackinac.
Interestingly, I went to get my wife to show her the sun reflecting off the bridge uprights. When we returned ten minutes later, the uprights were barely visible, the sun having moved on.
