Happy Macro Monday!

The Maudaiae type of Paphhiopedilum, single flowered hybrid called after one of the first, and most delightful, hybrids made within this group. Their oval leaves are attractively mottled in green and gray-green, sometimes darkly peppered on the undersides, and their elegant flowers, carried proudly on tall, slender stems.
I used 4 Wombo creations to bring this together. The top half and bottom half are 2 different images. The car and the tree beside it were 2 separate images. All was blended using Pixelmator Pro.
Prompts: Autumn trees, windy, swirling leaves, puddles, misty, cold, ultra realistic details
Style: The City
Input image was the same as used for "Autumn Rain"
Wishing all of you a great weekend!

I've photographed the waves going over the lighthouse here in Porthcawl before, using my old camera.. This is my first try of photographing a storm like this with my new 6D mk2. Processing is so much easier.. I don't know if it's the lens or the full frame sensor.
The Charles A. Dana Discovery Center at the Harlem Meer in Central Park. This was the first time I had walked this area after living in NYC for nearly 37 years. I had no idea how beautiful it is.
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.

Tu color es el color del agua,
oh cuerpo del lenguaje
allí donde el agua es
levadura, rayo o fuego.
El agua se enciende y se convierte en rayo, se convierte
en levadura y en fuego,
en nenúfar
que pide mi almohada
para dormir...
Oh río del lenguaje,
viaja conmigo dos días, dos semanas por la levadura de los secretos,
recogeremos mares, descubriremos madreperlas,
lloveremos rubíes y ébano,
aprenderemos que la magia
es un hada negra
que no se enamora más que de el mar.
Viaja conmigo, aparece aquí... desaparece allí...
y pregunta conmigo, oh río del lenguaje,
por la concha que muere para convertirse
en nube roja
de lluvia,
en isla
que camina o vuela,
pregunta conmigo, oh río del lenguaje,
por una estrella cautiva
en las redes del agua
que lleva entre sus pechos
mis últimos días.
Pregunta conmigo, oh río del lenguaje,
por una piedra de la que brota el agua,
por una ola de la que nace la roca,
por el animal del almizcle, por una paloma de luz.
Desciende conmigo por el tragaluz de las tinieblas
al lugar
donde habita el tiempo roto
para que el lenguaje sea
un poema que se viste con el rostro del mar.

This picture is a render I did some 5 years ago using Poser software. I think that I managed not only to capture a good likeness of her face but also her figure. I used 3 point lighting. The shadows accentuate the curves of her figure. : )

Interior from Garmo stave church at Maihaugen in Lillehammer, Norway. The baptismal font is made from soapstone and dates to the 12th century.
This stave church originally dates to the middle of the 12th century - later expanded in the 18th century. In the 19th century the church was replaced with a newly built on in Garmo and this one was dismantled and sold at auction(!) in 1880. It was bought by Trond Eklestuen, who spent much time buying traditional Norwegian objects (and buildings) and giving them away to museums for preservation. The church ended up at Maihaugen (the largest open-air museum in northern Europe, founded in 1904), a place dedicated to the preservation of Norwegian history and architecture. The church was rebuilt there in 1921.
A teneral Damselfly I found today at Wollaton Park, not sure on species, thinking Ischnura elegans. This one was a great subject, almost looks like it was posing for a portrait.
This was a 13 image focus stack, I used my Canon 1000D and shot using JPEGS, ISO 200, aperture F/5.6 and a 1/160 shutter speed. I used a diffused flash in ETTL mode.
Zooooommmmm
J'ai l'habitude de conserver mes vieilles cartes en souvenir. J'aurais voulu les scanner pour les garder dans un disque dur mais le courage m'a manqué. J'ai finalement essayé de les rentrer dans un CD après une entaille malheureuse. #Macro #MacroMondays #Card

La Areca - Chrysalidocarpus lutescens (Areca lutescens)
Al género Chrysalido-carpus pertenecen unas veinte especies originarias de Madagascar, de las islas Comores y de otras islas de Tanzania. Los tallos son erguidos y solitarios, lisos o estriados. Las hojas forman un penacho apical y están insertas en la parte superior del tallo, mediante finísimos pecíolos.
La especie Chrysalidocarpus lutescens (Areca lutescens) que se utiliza también como planta de interior, es originaria de Madagascar, donde los indígenas la denominan "palmera mariposa". Las hojas arqueadas de color verde brillante con un eje central y nervios amarillos, tienen una consistencia de papel (ligera como un mariposa).

Admittedly, it was a big crop, but it was really nice to see the adult and the young eaglet be in the same space. I wonder what the adult might have been communicating to its offspring?

Macro Mondays theme Single Use
Dishwasher tablet on Aluminium Foil - both single use. Frame measures 3.5 cm in width.
What this theme has highlighted is what a shockingly wasteful bunch us humans are!
I won't be around to comment today as it's my Mother-in-Law's Funeral.
Wishing everyone a Happy Macro Monday (even though I'm not quite feeling it).

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Single Use".
Shot with a Nikon "LS-3510AF 50 mm F 3.5" (scanner) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
I used my car as a blind and had great looks at this fella in this meadow scaling down both sides of this trunk. I'll be catching up on photos since things are finally winding down for me. Click for large view.
Used the 70D's built-in HDR setting. It doesn't always give good results but I was happy with this example.
Camera used : Sony Alpha 200 with kit lense only
Thanx for all comments and all the best. We're all belong to each other and came from same father and mother (Adam and Eve), so peace and justice for all :)

Crazy conspiracy theories linked to 5G mast...
5G Mast spread the coronavirus
5G Mast are a cover-up for depopulation
5G Mast are used to monitor us
5G Mast spread radiation
But even more absurd than any of those...
5G Mast are also a home for Kestrel Chicks!
Haha., that last one really made me laugh!
Surely can't be true!!
Can it?
