I was gently but firmly reprimanded for taking this shot (and another previously posted one www.flickr.com/photos/artsylens/4192387678/in/set-7215762... ) in the lobby of the swanky Astoria Shopping Center in Istanbul, Turkey.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your new week.

A closer look at this large water drop reveals how it magnifies the feather's details... i.e., its barbs and barbules.
A typical vaned feather features a main shaft, called the rachis. Fused to the rachis are a series of branches, or barbs; the barbs themselves are also branched and form the barbules. These barbules have minute hooks called barbicels for cross-attachment. [...] Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures.
