Description
Another picture from Barlow Common, these are dried Teasels, they were and still are used to raise the nap on cloth or wool, they have been largely replaced by metal ones now in industrial use but are still fastened to teasel racks in small enterprises as the teasel hooks break rather than tear the fabric as the metal ones would do.
There seemed to be so many growing here in the wild.
Thanks for taking a look, Rob

Some people use them for Christmas decorations here. Sometimes they spray whem with sillver or gold. Beautiful shot.
Fantastic. I used to paint these gold &Silver for Christmas.
Stunning composition
Lovely clarity and a great zoom and details!
Great textures and colours.
We have thistle.....close to what I see here. They are a horror and can take over and ruin good pasture land in record time. Having said that, I think they are beautiful in bloom, and the little birds love the seeds. I think one great thing about your images is the history you provide with your shots. I never would have realized these pricky burrs would be used in this modern age! Keep them coming. Oh....beautiful capture!
Beautiful close-up- superb DOF. Very nice.
nice composition - from the technical viewpoint a HDR I assume
Thank you, it's not a true HDR as it is a single shot but the RAW file was processed through Photomatix Pro
Very sharp,love it!!!
