Lovely shot of a teazel. They are the origin of the phrase "to tease something out" as they were used for cleaning up raw wool.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Stunningly sharp and the distortion sets this up perfectly.

Shame on you Stephen for not knowing that, Leeds is ( sorry, was) a Woolen Town.

An unusual angle for the subject, nice one.

Was Leeds a woolen town spider?

I suppose it was, although now it's the second financial city in the UK.

How times change..

Of course Leeds was a woolen town, there are still some wonderful knitted buildings in the city centre.
I like the teazel picture, very well photographed.
