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

WESTZANER OVERTOOM - The Hoogtij Bridge is conceived as a light-weight steel structure with slender legs and an overall length of 150 meters. The main span across the road and the water consists of a 60 meter single arc. Just above the deck level the arc splits up like a fork, thus making way for the cyclists. The moment of crossing of the water and the road at the highest point feels rather intimate due to the sheltering cocoon of cables that surrounds the cyclists.
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.

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.

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.
