On my windowsill in the direct sunlight you will find a little airplant, that only needs lots of lights and a little bit of moisture. I like it very much, because it has a fantastic shape and also creates great shadows. It is like watching a movie, each minute the shadows change. And then you can play the game: 'What do you see?' ;-))

For the Macro Mondays theme: 'Windowsill'

Happy Macro Mondays

I was invited to join the Christmas photo challenge organized by Hitch-Hikers Handbook, where people were asked to send photos and briefly describe the Christmas traditions in their own country, in my case The Netherlands. If you want to read and see more photos of Christmas traditions around the world, look here. Enjoy ;-))

This is a variation of 'Origami Spiral 2' by Tomato Fuse. You just don't fold the rabbit ear ;-))
Folded from 4 triangle pieces of paper. And…. it's only one spiral, but you see two, due to the mirror ;-D

When you use thinner or a bigger size of the square, which you divide in two, you won't see any white. I used 15x15 cm.
