... a straw hat!! described step by step at a Chilean museum with a wonderful and contrasting ruby background. I don't think I was allowed to take photos here...
Very nice and original ! Secret photos are the best ! Adrealine is raising and you look carefully around if there is not a guard, hehehe ! BTW if you have time the whole Brussels Parade is on my WriterCramps blog. It was fun and as the weather was nice the city was full. For the first time this year we could sit outside on a terrace !
We were on the reefs in Kona and my nose and ears were getting fried. We went back to the hotel, walked into the shop expecting to find I'd have to pay a fortune for a hat. The only hat in the store that I liked was on the mannequin in the window. I was looking at $60.00 price tags on hats I didn't care for. OC said if I was going to pay that much for a hat, I ought to at least get the one I wanted, so I asked the girl to fetch the hat from the window -- and it turned out to be 50% off and only $30.00!
Excellent photo with all the contrasts, shadows and textures. LOL.....I've done that many-a-time [sneaking a photo now and then when the 'rules' simply state "no photography"]
We lost our power yesterday due to construction in the neighborhood so this is the first chance I have to visit with you. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. It's always nice to have you come over and keep me company.
Very cool display. It is so hard to know when you can and can't talk pictures. I know it seems silly to them, but placing signs on each display would make it more clear...right?
One of these days I want to weave a basket. Just to say I did it, ya know?
This is really cool. I never really thought about how they make these, but I actually just went on a wild hunt for one of these hats for the Tashan (hat) in our Purim play.
Oops. No photos allowed. I got stopped in a shop once - but I'd already taken a couple dozen photos by then. That's a wonderful shot! I love the atmosphere of it, bright yet a bit secretive.
This is a fascinating handicraft. I hope it will sustain for ever, due to the quality and love that's lie behind. I have not seen it done in Chile, but in Mexico ("Panama style hats)
Thanks for your comment, the best part of every post! ☀ IMPORTANT: ☀ kindly leave your direct link to the current meme, if you have multiple blogs. Thank you very much!!

Hahhaa... I hope they didn't chase you out of the museum :P
ReplyDeleteNice display of all the different types :)
Wow, I would like to know how to make my own straw hat. It could be very useful on hot days like this. How did you smuggle in your camera ;p?
ReplyDeleteI have a Scala!

If you get caught, they would make you erase the pictures and smack you with a fine. Am I correct?
ReplyDeleteYou won't know. You came back with the picture. haha...

Oh very cool! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHATS!!! Ohhhhh... I think I need to GO there! Road trip? With coffee? What a GREAT ruby Mar!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL...so long as you're not caught...nice entry.
ReplyDeleteWow, Mar! You probably weren't allowed but I'm so glad you took the shot! Beautiful and unusual! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I'd love to be able to weave like that.

ReplyDeleteCool shot!
ReplyDeleteYou aren't the first to take a shot where maybe you shouldn't. :)
My RT is here: Carletta’s Captures.
ha! this is a great steal :)

ReplyDeleteVery nice, secret photo! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool. I watched a woman make a straw hat once. She had the straw in water, I guess to make it bendable. She was so fast!

NOW PLAYING at My Mobile Adventures *~*~* :
Strolling EPCOT’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World
Shall we all get together and make one or two?
ReplyDeleteOh, cool. Sweet and interesting shot :D!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful lighting creates quite a haunting atmosphere! Just delightful!
ReplyDeleteThe 'No Camera' ruling only made this shot even more splendid ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad you broke the rule also. I would have too....it was just too good to pass up!!:-)
