More than the eye can see...


I have always found closeup pictures to be fascinating. Maybe that fondness comes from how a camera makes up for my poor vision. There are things that the camera can see that I cannot.

My camera is my key to "Gulliver's Travels". Things that are small are made large. Although I always thought Jonathon Swift's descriptions were a little depressing. He describes the extra detail of close-up human skin as harsh and unattractive. When I see the pores of skin close up, I do not think ugly. I am sure he had his reasons, but for me seeing more detail is beautiful.

I'm posting a picture of an interesting texture that I found through my key. Can you tell what it is?
