Give Me Wings ...

A somewhat late entry for this week's Sunday Challenge, for which the subject was feather or feathers.

I'm afraid thought that as Judith said although there seem to be feathers all over the place, they're never there when you really want one ... so this is from the archives, but has been worked on specifically for this week's challenge.

It's a macro shot of an interesting badge I spotted on the front of a very old car at a local show. No idea what it is and I don't think I've ever seen one before or since, but I thought it an interesting subject.

Also for Sight and Sound:

Woven Hand with "Iron Feather" ....

Yes, the elongated crop certainly makes for a large image - lol! I'd have preferred a squarer crop Christel, but the subject didn't really lend itself to that in this instance! :)

that's a nice light you've caught on the badge showing off the wear of the years, never seen one like it either . . ..

Looks like it could be a really early Austin.

you know what... that's pretty damn cool! It is feathers, just not the traditional bird real stuff. Great shot and thinking 'kinda' outside the box.

Nice find. It has some similarities with the previous logo of the Dutch Railways.
