"I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?"

This scene told a story to me. It showed me how everything comes full circle. 'Reflect' on where you came from and where you are now.
We always come back to the same vicious circle - an extreme degree of material or intellectual poverty does away with the means of alleviating it.

We came upon a drum circle in Venice, Florida and stayed around to take it all in. I had my trusty Nikon with me and found a spot on the sand and sat myself down between some drummers and took a series of shots as the sun set in the background. This shot shows the Shaman leading the beat as dancers filled the air around a makeshift dream catcher.
I've done some editing in Lightroom to help create what I was feeling during this experience, but you'd have to actually be there to understand what I've tried to capture.
Oh....and I'm home now, so I hope to get back to my normal routine of commenting on your pictures too!

This is a macro of several tiny biro pen springs which I then processed to make them a little more interesting.

Probably not the name of the school, but its close to the WAY out in the middle of nowhere town of Circle. It was cold and rainy, but in IR the clouds stayed dramatic.
OK, so this one was a case of being at the right place at the wrong time. I spotted a restaurant above and we decided to have dinner and take pics from above. The window glare was very bad and it was also too dark out. I made a composite of the stopped traffic and the moving traffic. Yea, the restaurant food was not very good but I guess you pay for the view. It was a fun meetup night!

I saw a wonderful circle my friend Eda made so decided to try it by myself. It is so contageous that I think I'll make many more Lol.... I know it is another way to make them as my flickr friend Sue did but this way is still too difficult for me, this much easier way is great for beginners. Sue, I hope I will be able to do those like yours very soon.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
A very nice week, my friends.
Scorhill (pronounced Scorill) Stone Circle is also known as the Gidleigh Stone Circle or Steep Hill Stone Circle and dates from the Bronze Age. It is recorded as a scheduled monument by English Heritage and partly described as:
The stone circle measures 27m in diameter and is denoted by 23 upright granite slabs standing up to 2.25m high. A further 11 recumbent stones lie where they have fallen and one of these has been subjected to splitting.
This image shows a close up of three upright slabs and looking straight across, the tallest of the slabs can clearly be identified. Seen from the centre of the circle the tip of this tallest slab aligns with the setting sun on Midsummer's Eve.
