The theme for Macro Mondays this week is "Just White Paper".
I chose three very different types of white paper for my contribution.
First, a heavyweight water colour paper, then a glossy finished photographic paper and finally a white tissue.
PS The water colour paper is in fact is from a sheet of Green's Pasteless Board bought many years ago at Jackson's of Slater Street, Liverpool. This exquisite hand made cotton rag paper is no longer available but luckily I kept four large sheets of it

A group of male figures can be seen along the top and next to the lion at the MGM casino holding what appears to be a heavy bowl on their shoulders.
Here we see Pan Am train ED8 with a pair of matching ex-CSX C40s passing the signal just east of milepost 367 on a lazy Sunday morning. I decided to pass on the usual shot in Orange and try something different, for better or worse. The building complex was a mattress factory in its former life, rechristened the Orange Innovation Center and home to several small businesses, including the landscaper with the red truck at the loading dock, and Honest Weight Artisan Brewery
Beneath the weight of concrete and steel, geometry unfolds. Pillars rise, their reflections dissolving into a darkened stream. Light slips through narrow seams, bending and breaking into patterns of shadow and silver.
While moving things around in the backyard I came across my set of weights. Every couple of years I tell myself I should get back in shape so I set up a weight lifting area in the backyard. This lasts for about a month (maybe) and then is forgotten.

An abandoned cotton spinning mill somewhere in Wales. Abandoned for some time, not sure on the history behind it. Visited with Wiffsmiff23. Ended up doing some obscure macro work as part of the visit too.

The 1860’s were a boom time of naval construction. The first ironclad battleships had amply demonstrated that the reign of the old wooden ship of the line was at an end. Such ships were extremely vulnerable to the new technology of high explosive shells, giving ships that were actually armoured to withstand such weapons a huge advantage. As a result, the world’s naval powers were keen to dispose of their now useless fleets, replacing them with ironclads as fast as they could.
Nowhere was this boom of shipbuilding greater than the Old Perceptan Empire. Ever since the Avalonian Continental and Western Holy Wars of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, where the navies of its rivals had been practically annihilated, Perceptum had maintained a massive margin of global naval supremacy for half a century by the virtue of being able to supplement its massive number of warships faster than its rivals could build new navies. But with the advent of the ironclad, this vast Armada of wooden sailing ships had been rendered obsolete at a stroke. A similar thing was happening in the navies of its geopolitical enemies, who were capitalizing on the opportunity to finally catch up. Having built its hegemony through the use of its navy, and none to eager to lose the control of the sea which its economy depended upon, the Imperial Government authorized one of the biggest construction programmes in history to replace its fleet with modern ironclad warships. Scores of the grand old wooden ships were sold and scrapped, with only the most modern preserved for conversion that turned them into comparatively ugly hunks of steel. Moreover, Imperial shipyards worked overtime to build entirely new ships with iron framed hulls; ships like the mighty Forza. The great majority of these ships were armed in the traditional broadside manner, before this type was ultimately superseded by ships with central battery and turret armaments.
When laid down in 1866, the Lorica and her class were intended to be the last, and grandest, of the Imperial Navy’s broadside battleships. In practice, conversion works on older ships and the construction of other broadsiders continued alongside their building until 1870, so it’s unclear which ship was THE last of the old way of fighting, but the Loricas were the last class of them to be ordered. For the Marina Imperiale, she was the embodiment of the sendoff, with some of the older men in the officer corps shedding tears over the passing of an age. They were the only class of broadside ironclad to possess more than a single gundeck, and although only the lower of the two benefitted from the thickest armour (8in of wrought iron backed by 20in of teak) their height allowed them to ship no less than fifty-six guns. As grand as this may seem, the arrangement caused several problems. The shear weight of all those guns threatened stability, and with so many weapons on two decks, it would be impossible to equip each gun with its own armoured ammunition hoist. This forced the guncrews to share hoists and get creative with how they handled the shot and powder... which would obviously prove hazardous in battle. The magazines were correspondingly huge, and although protected by relatively thick armour for a ship of the type, it was insufficient against the increasingly large guns mounted by central battery and turret ironclads. The only real strength they had was the mobility that resulted from their length to width ratio, but maneuvering such top-heavy iron sailing ships proved notoriously hazardous.
As can be expected, the Eight Years War was not kind to them. The ships performed admirably despite their age, their massive batteries of updated guns proving useful in calm seas and coastal battles where they proved their worth in guarding the Empire’s ports from attack. And unlike most other broadsiders, their entire hull was armoured with wrought iron ranging between four and eight inches, which allowed them to tank hits from smaller guns. Their relative agility even allowed them to dodge torpedoes while other, less nimble ships foundered. But whenever they were dragged too far out to sea, predictable problems arose. Their instability, worsened by the even heavier new rifled gun battery, caused more than one of them to sink in bad weather, in particularly fast turns or due to uncontrolled flooding in battle. With such a tendency to roll so heavily, the lower gun deck (which housed all the 8in guns, as opposed to the 4 and 6in rifles on the upper deck) would be subject to flooding should the hatches be opened in rough seas. Worse yet was the damage inflicted by the more modern ships the Empire was facing; the big-gun ships favoured by the Order of Achatius and her Allies found no problem with overmatching the Lorica’s armour, even from range. Once penetrated, the ships citadel and vulnerable ammunition stores were wide open to destruction.
Several of them did, however, survive the War. Wartime construction eventually caught up, allowing the the Loricas to be replaced on the front line by newer, tougher ships that moved the old broadsiders to relatively safe port defense and reserve posts. After the war, the Perceptan navy diligently reorganized itself and, strapped for cash, decided to sell many of its obsolescent ships off to the highest foreign bidders. At least one Lorica found its way into the Royal Pyu Navy, while another became flagship to a short-lived but famous pirate of the Chornslad Alliance. After superseding their value as combatants, they would serve for the rest of their days as depot ships, coal hulks and training vessels... an ignominious end to the era of the sailing battleship.
I hopped over to Cuba last week and got one of my all time most wanted species....
(Avg size is about 2 inches and weight less than a U.S.penny)
This bird holds 3 titles:
1. It is THE SMALLEST bird on earth;
2.it is classified by IUCN as NEAR THREATENED because of habitat loss; and
3.It is ENDEMIC and only found in a few small area on the island of Cuba.
I will show better/more shots of him when I'm done with all my Madagascar species....
Clicking is what I can't do properly at the moment, flickr up a moment then down a few minutes.
A bit of light re-reading, tea and sleep. Words are for tomorrow.
Update - runs as smoothly as ever once more. Good stuff. I'll still leave the rest of this caption as is for reference.

I have posted some pictures of eagles before, and they are all photographed this bird sanctuary, when I was there I really got the feeling that the people who work there really love job.I am really glad that I managed to capture this image Their friendship between the bird and the girl was so clear.
The White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) — also called the Sea Eagle, Erne (sometimes Ern), and White-tailed Sea-eagle — is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which includes other raptors such as hawks, kites, and harriers. It is considered a close cousin of the Bald Eagle and occupies the same ecological niche, but in Eurasia.The White-tailed Eagle is a very large bird. It measures 66–94 cm (26–37 in) in length with a 1.78–2.45 m (5.8–8.0 ft) wingspan. The wingspan, with a midpoint of 2.18 m (7.2 ft), is on average the largest of any eagle.[3][4] The Steller's Sea Eagle, larger in both weight and total length, is the closest rival for median wingspan amongst living eagles. The Bald Eagle is roughly the same size as the White-tailed Eagle, although has a shorter average wingspan and usually longer total length, due to a longer tail.[3] Females, typically weighing 4–6.9 kg (8.8–15.2 lb), are slightly larger than males, which weigh 3.1–5.4 kg (6.8–12 lb)n[3] The record weight for the species was 7.5 kg (17 lb) for a specimen from Scotland, while a more recent huge female from Greenland reportedly spanned 2.53 m (8.3 ft) across the wings.Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 55.2–71.7 cm (21.7–28.2 in), the tail is 25–33 cm (9.8–13 in), the tarsus is 9.2–10.1 cm (3.6–4.0 in) and the exposed culmen is 6–6.5 cm (2.4–2.6 in). The measurements of eagles from Greenland are in general larger than in other populations of the species. The White-tailed Eagle is sometimes considered the fourth largest eagle in the world and is on average the fourth heaviest eagle in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_Eagle The picture is taken in a bird sanctuary in a controlled conditions. But it is a wonderful bird.Thanks for visiting, I hope you like the picture.
I've been taking pictures of myself to see my weight loss & keep me motivated. Week 1 picture is very embarrassing & I stopped wearing clothes like this when I got to this weight.
