There is something about birds singing on barbed wire that always appeals to me, especially now.
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

The grand divide is not a watershed but the invention of barbed wire. After that our common earth rapidly became someone's personal property. It turned creatures (including humans) into prisoners and trespassers.
Barbed wire should be on the UN-list of unwanted weapons. It has a ruinous effect on the way we treat our planet. I have always tried to avoid barbed wire on any photo I take. This one is a big exception - to discuss the matter. So how about you?
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.
wire inspired by #MacroMondays.
Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).
Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing
The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.
Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.
Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.
Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.
Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."
After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.
During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.
Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.
I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.

Macros certainly show every bit of dust and debris! Fortunately, my husband had two unused wire brushes with two small bands of bristles. Here you see fewer than half of the bristles.
And then the sun began to shine. The trick was to avoid blowing the highlights...
Tiny. This macro amounts to 2 cm or .79 inches of part of the brush. Thanks for looking.
A toy electric motor as a 1:1 macro. I suppose it belongs to the series "Märklin Metall" from the early 70ies. This was a modular kit system made of metal to construct mechanical things for older kit. This one is a still working motor, driven by a 9V battery. The copper wires induce a magnetic effect propelling this motor like in every electric driven engine.

in collaboration with Virginia Seguà AKA: seguicollar
you can find here work here: www.flickr.com/photos/seguicollar/
seguicollar is an outstanding artist who i have worked with many times.
we took basic images and slowly would alter them and trade, back & forth, so the image is layered with each of our contributions. the basic imager for this piece belongs to ???
Sunrise at the Poppy field, The sun did not show indeed there was rain in the air, a five shot panorama from the corner of the field, Just as well it`s a barbed wire fence because we know that the field would soon be trampled sadly .
One more to come from sunrise as the sheep came to say good morning .
