...put my life in peril for this one...no place to pull over in commuter traffic so I stopped and did the click click thing. No one got in my way...no one tooted their horn as they seemed to understand my mission. Anyone who walks/drives away from a shot like this isn't a photographer. Had I not stopped, this image would have been burned into my memory and tortured my soul...forever!
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
It's a mystery! Who or what tried to rip the screen off the this little window, and why? As you can see, this window, in a little old garden house, is way up, under the eaves. It is not humanly accessible except with a ladder. Hmm...
This garden house is on a nice private plot, at the beginning of the Moostal, a pasture-and woods area that is part of our village. This garden house has been there for decades. For a while, about 10 years ago, it was used as a chicken coop. So maybe back then, some ambitious semi-feral cat was trying to get at the chickens, but gave up for some reason.
These days, the garden house is used by humans. They have put the chickens in a newly-constructed pen at the back of the garden. It is netted over...with chicken wire.
Location; Moostal, Riehen BS Switzerland.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

Kruger National Park
Photographed at the remote Grootvlei Dam in the north-eastern part of the Park, very close to the border with Mozambique. The great distance between the Shingwetzi and Letaba Rivers makes the dam an important halfway water source, especially during the dry season.
This was taken about 24 hours after the last post. Same windmill, same fence but a little different point of view, different focal length, and completely different weather conditions. What a difference a day makes. HFF
Dutchmen Pipe Leaf vine wrapped around the barbed wire in the late evening bokeh as the sun went down through the trees and the light shining in .I like the way the vine wraps around the barbed wire mingling together and I enjoy the spider webs that are not seen until you look close, My sister gave me this Dutchmen pipe vine many years ago
Macro Mondays theme Wire
[I didn't have a tape measure with me but my guess is that this is roughly 1 - 1.5 inches in length]
HMM...
Not really. Not so romantic - Bokeh from a distant 'security' lamp shining in the day through branches and the fence close-up.
Macro Mondays: "Rust"
Some barbed wire wrapped around a post, both well rusted.
The image is about 5 cm (2 inches) on the long edge.
Float plane at lower right is fortunately a long way from all these wires, a common sight in urban areas that don't have underground wiring.
Telephone wires and poles are just part of the street furniture that we don’t really notice around us. They blend into the background and our brains just blank them out as being nothing to take any notice of.
However , when we get a theme on ‘Smile on Saturday’ of ‘Look up to the sky’, they take on a significance that makes them eminently photographical!
It’s that time of year again to put up decorations for the holidays. I’ve already got up the tree and some decorations outside. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season this year.
