There is something about birds singing on barbed wire that always appeals to me, especially now.
Dickcissel bird on a wire fence at the Kankakee Sands in Indiana. The fence in place to protect the Bisons.
Yesterday I posted a photograph of an old barn that I had photographed years ago. Today, I wanted to share a little bit of the awesome detail of this rustic structure. What really drew my eye to this boarded up window was the electricity wire running across the side of the building, through the boarded window and then to the ground. I love black and white photography because of how light and shadows enhance detail and texture, along with shapes and patterns, as seen on these weathered boards,. Having spent time years ago in a black and white darkroom, I now really appreciate digital editing because of the tools available, and the amount of control one has in processing a monochrome photograph. I actually find I spend more time editing a black and white image to achieve just the right tonality.
This is the exit point of the Wire Pass trail (which passes through a narrow slot canyon) at the conjunction where it enters Buckskin Gulch in Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. I love walking in slot canyons. Note the hiker near the far wall for scale.
For Macro Mondays #holes theme
Just one hole visible here (which I think is ok for the theme), and I'm kind-of excited that you can actually see all the way through it. Unfortunately, there's not much of interest on the other side, so it really isn't worth bothering to look. Plus looking closely would probably draw far too much attention to the detail, including a thread that I couldn't get rid of :-(
An interesting theme; got me thinking about how important holes are. Nice for them to get a bit of attention :-)
oh and I'm conscious that my photostream has been a bit monochromy of late - not quite sure how that happened :-) ; trying to get back to some colour soon, but this shot kind of lent itself to subtle toning
naked wires, their thoughts exposed for all to see,,
in darkness they are safe, but here, now they stand vulnerable
Wire fence found on my snowy outing a few days ago. Someone must have tied red plastic bits to it to make it more visible. I am sure they were bigger originally but have withered away.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Wires on an old fence covered in tiny ice crystals from days of sub zero temperatures and heavy frosts.
The autofocus narrowed in on the wire fence rather than the spectacular scenery and the oncoming storm (that actually did not reach us) on the Kilbrannish Looped Walk (I have quite a few photos of that day which I will be sharing over the next few weeks), which I didn't realise. I like it, as the blurred background emphasises the dark threat of the approaching weather and the patchwork effect it was having on the landscape.
After searching for #wire for #MacroMondays, I began to consider earrings that I no longer wear. (Too cold in Alaska and would catch on my wool hats. Grew out of the habit.)
And because I couldn't find a good focal point, I used the stick-in-the-ear piece or post as selective focus. On black glass.

something new... felt like being creative today :)
inspired by my daily routine at work!!! just like a machine I go...go...go... Like we all do!!! Happy Monday everyone!
Wire with some flowers in the background to add some color. Sprayed the flowers for a bit of Bokeh and the water ended up on the wire. I just went with it
While looking for birds on our trip west, it seemed many birds I found were sitting on wire fences, especially on the prairies where there weren’t many trees. It has to be easier to install and more cost efficient when putting fencing around vast open spaces. The sound of the Meadowlark is quite distinct and I loved listening to them when we were camping. It was a treat to see them sitting on the fence as opposed to hidden in the grasses. Happy Fence Friday.
