#MacroMondays<br />
#Travel<br />
<br />
<i>Please zoom in.</i><br />
<br />
The new Macro Monday theme is "Travel". I was prepared to skip, because I'm not much of a traveller. Of course I'm interested in world cultures and different places, especially in <i>being</i> there and going exploring, getting to know everything. But <i>getting</i> there... Packing luggage, getting on the train (and, forbid, the aeroplane), hoping to catch my connection... and then, on repeat once it's finally going home again: horror.<br />
<br />
But then, this Thursday, the motif literally came to me. At a favourite park, this little green guy, a buffalo treehopper, had decided to travel on my 9mm wide-angle lens for a while. The treehopper walked around along the lens hood, stopped for a few seconds, walked on, rested, and so on, flexing its tiny wings in between. It stayed on my lens for several minutes, even as I moved the camera around, and only flew away when we walked too far away from its home tree.<br />
<br />
Since this cute little critter was a first, I had to take a few photos. The "problem": The lens with the excellent close-up abilities – my 9 mm PanaLeica ultra-wide-angle lens (small, super-light, plastic, but truly fantastic) – was mounted on my OM-3: as the treehopper's travel vehicle ;) So my tiny Sony came to the rescue. It doesn't, per se, do close-ups; at least you can't get truly close to a subject with it, certainly not anything as small as this guy. But the zoom range makes up for that. Here, I probably wasn't even far enough away. I checked the info, and according to that, I took this photo at 32,7mm (= 91,5 mm in full-frame terms). Maybe I could have achieved better "critter magnification" at the full 200 mms, but at that moment, it didn't even occur to me to get farther away from the tiny green fellow. <br />
<br />
Since this isn't a true macro in the sense of a 1:1 magnification, I cropped in to meet our MM size requirements. Pixel-wise, this left me with quite a small crop (about 2100x2100 pixels); so I doubled the pixels in Gigapixel for better "viewability". <i>If this should be against our MM rules, I'll accept it if the photo is excluded from the pool; likewise, if the image doesn't fully meet the theme requirements (evoking a feel of travel).</i><br />
<br />
<b>Size info:</b> The treehopper was about the size of my pinky's fingernail, so just about the size of a grown specimen: 9 mm/0,35 inches. The lens's diameter (barrel included), as you can also see in the photo, is 5,5 cm. Since not all of the lens is fully visible in the frame, I'd say that, background included, we are at about 6 x 6 cm/2.3 x 2.3 inches total.<br />
<br />
Happy Sliders Sunday, and Happy Macro Monday, too :)</p>

The Dom St. Peter und St. Georg (St. Peter and St. George Cathedral) was initiated in 1004 by emperor Heinrich II. and consecrated in 1012. The cathedral burned twice in 1081 and 1185. The cathedral was rebuilt in a magnificent late romanesque style and consecrated in 1237.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/basalamant/55497805990/" title="The Marburg Hotel (Marburg, Queensland's Somerset Region)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55497805990_9138e98c71_m.jpg" width="240" height="121" alt="The Marburg Hotel (Marburg, Queensland's Somerset Region)" /></a></p>

<p>The Marburg Hotel, initially single-storeyed, was erected probably early in 1881 for Marburg farmer and Walloon publican, Weigand Raabe. The 0.81 hectare site was registered in his wife's name in mid-1880; a mortgage of £180 was taken out in January 1881; and by June 1881 races and sports were being held at Weigand Raabe's Marburg Hotel. It was among the first buildings in the town, and was the first hotel.<br />
<br />
The Marburg district was developed principally by German settlers, who in the early 1870s cleared farms from the dense Rosewood Scrub. By late 1885 the district supported a population of approximately 5000, and the town boasted a Court House, School of Arts, primary school, two hotels, and electricity supplied from TL Smith's Woodlands sawmill.<br />
<br />
Following Weigand Raabe's death in 1883, the hotel was placed under trusteeship. In mid-1884 Auguste Raabe, his widow, renewed the hotel license, and married Otto Sakrzewski, a Marburg storekeeper and carpenter, who then held the license from mid-1885 until mid-1887. Thomas Mortimer was licensee from mid-1887 until mid-1890, at which time Sakrzewski was appointed trustee and renewed the license. Sakrzewski raised a £600 mortgage on the property in 1890, and the second storey may have been added then.<br />
<br />
The Sakrzewski family held the license until 1921, and the freehold remained theirs until 1925, having been sold to Otto's brother, Albert, circa 1915. The hotel then passed through several owners, lessees, and licensees until purchased by Queensland Brewery Ltd in 1936. It has remained Marburg's sole hotel since 1947. In 1986 the freehold was acquired by the Bowden family, who have been licensees of the Marburg Hotel since 1944.<br />
<br />
The Marburg Hotel remains one of the oldest buildings in the town. It has operated continuously as an hotel since 1881, and was a highway landmark and popular stopping place for travellers from 1923 to 1969, when the Brisbane-Toowoomba highway passed through Marburg.<br />
