“Needle and Thread”
Another pleasing and very easy effort with my little Panasonic. I think the autofocus is just outstanding. Direct sun through Venetian blinds. Scrap of Hardanger embroidery cloth used for needle storage. Eye of the upper needle is about 3/8".
The day started off quite nicely but by the time I got around to thinking about a shot for today, it was foul, so looked for an indoor shot. I threaded six different coloured cottons through the needle and twisted them up a bit. Taken in upstairs window where there was a little more light, trees in the background, gold reflector to the front.

The thread-waisted wasp:
after 2 hours going through each plant that could be an ideal place for bees and wasps at their sleep.
I came across many different species of wasps and another few bees that were all covered in dew, which made them wet and not photogenic at all. I came across this beautiful wasp, This is a Thread-Waisted wasp, I admit it is so beautiful I was just amazed by this find, sleeping pretty high on a dry plant holding it with the big mandibles not to lose grip at their sleep, pretty hard to shoot, but the time was limited before she would get warm enough to fly away and start hunting for a prey to paralyze and burry under the sand.
It is normal to me to find these wasps sleeping since i have seen dozens that day, I am convinced this is another species that I haven't seen before, Yet one of the most beautiful I have ever seen if not the most.
Mural entitled "A Persistent Thread" by Jonny Alexander for "Murals in the Market" seen in Detroit, Michigan.
The artist explains the work as follows: This image is a personal interpretation of Detroit, where its been and where it's going. A narrative image you can read from left to right lends reference to Detroit's manufacturing past, it's present growth and it's future yet to be known. There is a banner that weaves its way through the whole image from past to future. It's meant to represent the cultural thread that has run through Detroit, with +80% of Detroit's population being black, I see this legacy as being the lifeblood that gives the city it's culture, vitality and creative energy. The banner serves as a reminder to the changing city to recognize and celebrate its cultural legacy.

'Bird passing by' was I think my favourite of the 12 installations at this years Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival. For me the best bit was the stop-go animation of a bird in flight but that doesn't look so good in a still image so I waited for the whole thing to light up.

From the event leaflet, "We are delighted to welcome you once again to our spectacular Winter Lights festival. For our ninth edition, the trail will take you on a journey through 12 spectacular temporary installations, as well as our ever popular permanent light artworks.
Showcasing some of the most innovative light artists across
the globe, our 2025 festival explores the transformative and
other-worldly qualities of art and light, featuring portals, black
holes and mirages. Throughout the trail, you’ll encounter
different worlds - imagined, real and digital – and witness
how these worlds intercept and collide.
On the boundary between real and surreal, the line-up will take you from a towering stack of bathtubs pulsing with light and sound, through to Westferry Circus where you can encounter a mesmerising tornado of lights orbiting a pylon.
You can also immerse yourself amongst panels of sari fabric
and luminous threads on Wren Landing, be dazzled by an
iridescent mirage on Montgomery Square, experience a bird
in flight and be transported through a portal in Wood Wharf.
Finish up the tour at our newly opened Eden Dock, where you
can marvel at a 20m wide sink hole encircled by light."

Small treasures.
Most of these are wooden spools. My favourite is the small spool of "service khaki", it's only an inch high.
For a project for Caturah.
The process of making has been good for me. I like putting single elements together into a useful whole.
Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. They gather together not only into clusters, but into vast interconnected filamentary structures with gigantic barren voids in between. This “cosmic web” started out tenuous and became more distinct over time as gravity drew matter together.
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a thread-like arrangement of 10 galaxies that existed just 830 million years after the big bang. The 3 million light-year-long structure is anchored by a luminous quasar – a galaxy with an active, supermassive black hole at its core. The team believes the filament will eventually evolve into a massive cluster of galaxies, much like the well-known Coma Cluster in the nearby universe.
This deep galaxy field from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) shows an arrangement of 10 distant galaxies marked by eight white circles in a diagonal, thread-like line. (Two of the circles contain more than one galaxy.) This 3 million light-year-long filament is anchored by a very distant and luminous quasar – a galaxy with an active, supermassive black hole at its core. The quasar, called J0305-3150, appears in the middle of the cluster of three circles on the right side of the image. Its brightness outshines its host galaxy. The 10 marked galaxies existed just 830 million years after the big bang. The team believes the filament will eventually evolve into a massive cluster of galaxies.

Mrs Nghien started spinning silk at age 20, and retired in 2023 at the age of 96. She was kind enough to set up her tools and show us her skill.
Truc Ninh in Vietnam has a long history of silk production. Renowned for its high-quality silk, the region has a strong tradition of manual silk thread production, passed down through generations. While facing modern challenges, Truc Ninh continues to produce silk, combining traditional methods with modern techniques to sustain this valuable cultural heritage and contribute to the local economy.
Brass screw. Illumination by light table from below. Blue paper on top for the color accent. Focus stacking, 180 shots, stepping 1. Focus stacking in Helicon Focus method C/1. Postprocessing in LR (but very little except removing dust)
I'm selling these now :)
half the profit goes back to the Filipino people that made them
and half goes to my mission trip to Haiti!
