WB TP&W train is crawling over Farmdale Trestle on a beautiful march afternoon. I had my normal drone problem as of late. Fly the drone to the shot, not knowing exactly how far the train is away. Then flying the drone back to me to change the battery. Then the train shows up, and I either miss the shot, or I get the shot, but not exactly how I had originally framed it. This train I heard coming as soon as I pulled the battery out. I was only able to get any kind of shot, due to the fact in was going about 10 mph here. All the wires and trees make it a little more difficult to fly in last second. Thanks to Chris for the scoop.

#New
Something old, something new, and no, I'm not going to marry ;) The old part first: it's the crystal beads. My Mom, magrit k., recently went through old, long-unused things and found this crystal bead necklace. She asked me if I wanted to wear it, and since I love some bling from time to time, I said, "Yes!". This leads us to the new part: the jewellery wire. The necklace had been strung and tied classically on a jewellery thread which was pretty much worn and frayed with use. So I bought jewellery wire just before Christmas and made a new necklace with the beautiful old glass beads.
It's a single photo illuminated from above by a natural light photo light, from the left and right with LED lamps (the left lamp equipped with the yellow bottle cap "filter"), and a handheld flashlight to highlight the new part: the wire. The background colour is from a huge peach-coloured amaryllis blossom that had just fallen off its stem and was already placed on the table, waiting to be photographed. Processed in DXO PL7, Color and Analog Efex, and with finishing touches in LR with the Primary Color sliders.
Wishing you a Happy, healthy, peaceful 2024, dear Flickr friends!
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
For the Macro Mondays Theme: Wire
Thank you for your time, faves and comments, it's much appreciated.

For the Macro Monday theme 'Wire' (October 14th 2019)
Silver wire woven into a bracelet. The bracelet (in the 2nd comment field) is made entirely of strands of silver wire. There is no soldering, just bending and weaving the silver. Even the clasp is made from strands of silver wire. This was hand-made for me by a friend who was beginning to learn metal-working at the time - 'The Adventurous Silversmith'. She made me three kinds of woven silver bracelets. Another one was used for the last MM in 2013. That one is linked through from the first comment field, and is a Roman and Viking design. ;o)
Several people have asked about my talented friend who made these lovely bracelets. She has a wide variety of metalworking skills - and other things too
www.theadventuroussilversmith.com/ Do indeed check her website out. Laurie Kern is her name, and currently she is living and working in Texas ;o)
HMM to everyone, and have a great week!

Kazan Cathedral, St. Petersburg, Russia, flickr chose the wider version with the moon on top, but I prefer the close up version. Merry Christmas to all.
Sorry about the plethora of overhead wires, a big bad spider spins a web of iron over the skies, I was too lazy to clone them out.
On the wire that imprisons us all
A final drip waits to fall
A drip of love, now that's lost
A drip of fate, as we pay the cost
Of the price of our dreams
As the rain, like tears, down it streams
Down from the infinite, illusionary skies
Down from our broken, empty eyes
Filling the prison in which stand
Soaking with blood , freedoms, now cold land
As we catch the tears that fall
In this life, that imprisons us all

I had dialed down the exposure composition for a previous shot of white flowers ( possibly Queen Anne's Lace ) and not reset it for the pole shot with the wires . Panic not as it gave me this splendid silhouette - although far too late for SSC silhouettes of last week !!
HTT Folks !!
"When she walks towards me
I feel something
Crawl beneath my skin
And all the electric stars are shining
Beneath my skin and
Cherry takes me to the place above
With barbed wire kisses and her love
We're going where the oceans blue..."

Tightwire is the skill of maintaining balance while walking along a tensioned wire between two points. It can be done either using a balancing tool (umbrella, fan, balance pole, etc.) or "freehand", using only one's body to maintain balance.
Macro Mondays #Balance
(Size of shoes together: 2") Used a plastic figure of The Crow (7"), a metal wire from a birdfeeder and a glittery blue background.
This was my second choice for the Macro Mondays motion blur theme. The image shows a 2.5 inch section of a rigid wirework light shade, I moved the camera slightly to the right while the shutter was open. I added the colours in processing.
Somewhere in Durness (Scottish Highlands) where the daffodils sway, a black liner dances and a wire fence seems to stretch to infinity. (from my archives: 2011)
