Threading the Eye of a Needle

Thursday 17th January
Day 1125

TITC: "The Eyes Have It"

Forgive me for taking liberties with the quotation "...it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God..." but I couldn't find a spare camel today...

Also part of January Macro Month

Finally, the answer to yesterdays Macro - A snorkel!

Nikon D200 ,Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1/20s f/4.0 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto
