Three strands unwinding from a piece of synthetic rope.
The Cordage Institute defines a strand as "the largest individual element used in the final rope making process and obtained by joining and twisting together several yarns or groups of yarns."
They also define dozens of other terms of importance to those in the rope business.
Approximately 1.5:1 reproduction ratio (24mm edge to edge). The full rope is about 5mm or 3/8" across.
Models - Riley McLean, Annie Ogren, Kaya Muller

So this weeks challenge was "cliché" which once again got me thinking... I began to wonder that since 99% of the landscapes I shoot have been shot many many times before is everything I do a cliché? Should i just give up now while i'm behind? Is the fact that many of my images are clichés necessarily a bad thing? - if a cliché is a cliché is it not so because it is worth repeated shooting?
Anyone who know Ireland will know this location, and probably will recognize this exact composition (using the three stones as a leading line to the head of the valley) I've shot it myself many times in the past. when we visited here with my camera club last week we were literally jokingly queuing up to shoot here...
So i guess this makes it a good contender for this weeks theme of cliché...
- that and the use of reflections, rule of thirds & symmetry...
Still all that aside its a great spot - probably why its such a cliché!
Week No: 18

BEST VIEWED LARGE IF POSSIBLE!!
This is Whitstable on the North Kent coastline , taken late evening, went with a close friend of mine and fellow flickrette Jan (jankmarshall) we both had a great time the subjects were fabulous!
A few ghostly figures hover around the atrium of the Politechnika Warszawska (Warsaw University of Technology).
Dedicated to Rod Monkey for introducing me to this stunning piece of architecture.
As I drove to Canmore on Sunday morning, I was pretty sure the day was going to be a wash. It was overcast and snowing almost all the way to Canmore and I almost turned around and went back home. But then I figured even a bad day in Canmore is still a pretty good day. The Three Sisters are always gorgeous too!
A row of posts separating the water (now frozen) from the parking near the beach at Three Mile Lake, near Afton, Iowa.
A Bald Eagle joined the chase of a Short-eared Owl with a Northern Harrier Hawk . The owl had a vole and the other two were eager for a meal. They circled around for quite awhile. I hadn't seen an eagle chase an owl before.
Shot this handheld during a recent visit to Harris Neck Nature Preserve in Georgia. It was midday but I thought it was an interesting clump of tree stumps with different animals claiming their space.
A little after this shot a rather big alligator came from the left under a tree hanging over the water that later revealed 5 of her babies on the bank. I did capture a shot of them as well.
People so seldom say they care for someone and then when they do it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, It doesn't mean I know you'll never go, Only that I wish you didn't have to... Until this moment, I never understood how hard it was to lose something you never had.

I haven't posted anything here in a couple of weeks because I was so darn busy at the office. It's what you get when you have a job-- you have to work. lol. Anyway, hope you all well and see you on your photostreams.
