A late addition for Macro Mondays "curves" theme.
I had no real idea so I decided to skip it, but I should have asked Valeria first. Don't you even dare thinking about her curves, if you don't want a thorough thrashing.
The size is of course very close to the allowed 76mm, and it's for tomorrow's

Just returned home from last weeks Chicago visit. Still a bit suffering jetlag and some blisters on my feet, but overall, a great week and also overall fortunable weather with all included. This one is showing the Chicago board of trade at the end of Lasalle Street, taken from the bridge with that same name. All have a great start into this new week. Thanks, Udo.
The Cow Canyon Trading Post was established in 1949 as an outlet for sales of northern Navajo and other artists works. Unfortunately it was closed when we were in Bluff, Utah earlier this year. But luckily this lovely bench was near the door.
Happy Bench Monday!
The Voorstraat Harbor is the oldest port in Dordrecht, straight through the historic center of the city. In many places in the city you have beautiful views over the water. Dordrecht originated on the Thure stream, the later Voorstraat Harbor. In the past, you could moor at several locations in the Voorstraat harbor to load or unload your merchandise. Dordrecht was granted staple rights in 1299, which resulted in enormous economic growth. Staple right meant that many goods transported on the Lek and Merwede had to be marketed in Dordrecht before being transported further.
This heralded the Golden Age of Dordrecht (1350 – 1450). The stack made Dordrecht a hub of trading activities. Goods were traded and consumed from all parts of the world.
When the Voorstraat harbor became too small, other harbors were dug. The Voorstraat harbor is special because it runs under the town hall and under the Scheffersplein! No fewer than 7 bridges have been built over the port: the Leuve Bridge, the Pelser Bridge, the Lombard Bridge, the Vis Bridge, the Tol Bridge, the Wijn Bridge and the New Bridge. On each of these bridges you have a unique view over part of the harbour! After the Wine bridge, the Voorstraat haven turns into the Wine harbor.

In an alternative imagining of the 19th century slave trade, the white man is the slave of the black slave trader.
Sometimes seeing things differently helps us SEE things differently.
Brand new black and white edit with the title borrowed from a line from Redemption Song by Bob Marley.
Story behind this shoot:
I did the colour versions of this shoot a few years ago. They went viral and were widely acclaimed as impactful and thought provoking after being picked up by a famous Black American influencer on Instagram. The series of 6 of these shots had before this been accepted for a UK Nationwide touring exhibition - to be pulled at the last minute by those in charge as it was considered it may be too "distressing for school children" to see these (even though it was a normal exhibition for all the public who would mainly be adults anyway).
Seeing the usual images of black people suffering in chains in the schoolbooks is apparently okay, but it is not good for kids to see things differently, or to perish the thought to make the next generation actually have to THINK and be impacted ... and if they are distressed for a little while by the reality then so be it, as that's how change happens by hearts and minds being impacted as slavery and racism and inequality based on race is distressing. Whatever the race of the perpetrator and victim.
I - and my two awesome models here PJ Walker and Horace Silver - am proud that these images are considered powerful enough to impact young minds. And maybe a few old ones.
The Twin Arrows trading post is colorful outside, but trashed inside. This view for Window Wednesday was found along old Route 66 in northern Arizona. HWW
Look at this gorgeous fairytale themed swap! Everything is kawaii fairytale, even the little eraser and pencil! Thank you so much, Linda, especially for the Wolf tofu! It matches my darling Red Riding Hood one from Darlene =) And the Alice in Wonderland memo has been on my wishlist for a while, I'm happy to finally have it!
An international Textile trade show into which I found myself by complete accident (was in a different conference and went through the wrong door)...

A nice and colourful Fokker 100 of Trade Air at Schiphol Airport. We'll be seeing this beauty more often this summer season.
I had to smile when I saw this little squirrel perched on the edge of this Goodie Bowl. Most squirrels will just reach over the edge to grab the nuts inside, but not this little rascal.
He jumped up there like he'd done it a thousand times, and started munching away. He also kept a close eye on those two birdies. Almost like they were all trading Goodie Bowl secrets. Gossiping about who was the messiest eater, the glutton, the one with the best manners, etc. My bet is this little squirrel might fall under "the cutest" category.
