I had lots of ideas for the challenge today, but the first couple I tried did not work out well. I really wanted to use this collection of washers, but could not find the right way to shoot them. Finally, I used some no-glare glass to arrange them on and used two flood lamps to illuminate the Persian rug I placed about three feet below them. I purposely shot them in silhouette to prevent seeing the multiple surface conditions of the washers and maximize the circles. In the end, this is pretty much SOOC except for bumping up the saturation some to accentuate the colours of the background.

"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" - Lion King

I thought I'd lost my marbles - then I found them in Matt's room!!
Here are plenty of circles for the 52 1/2 weeks group!
As shot, basically, using a 20mm clear glass orb and cyan marbles. Slight crop.
Inspired by #MacroMondays and #Circles theme.

First snow in southern Sweden, in Limhamn on Christmas Day. I strolled here on the sailing club port with my camera, and so come Securitas car, stopped and looked for a moment what I was doing there, and so they drove away. And I thank for the track they left behind.

The stone circle at Castlerigg (alt. Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) is situated near Keswick in Cumbria, North West England. One of around 1,300 stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany, it was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BCE, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages.
Various archaeologists have commented positively on the beauty and romance of the Castlerigg ring and its natural environment. In his study of the stone circles of Cumbria, archaeologist John Waterhouse commented that the site was "one of the most visually-impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain."
Every year, thousands of tourists travel to the site, making it the most visited stone circle in Cumbria.This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
‘I give you half of me;
No more, lest I should make
A ground for perjury.
For your sake, for my sake,
Half will you take?’
‘Half I’ll not take nor give,
For he who gives gives all.
By halves you cannot live;
Then let the barrier fall,
In one circle have all.’
“A wise and ancient scorner
Said to me once: Beware
The road that has no corner
Where you can linger and stare.
Choose the square.
‘And let the circle run
Its dull and fevered race.
You, my dear, are one;
Show your soul in your face;
Maintain your place.
‘Give, but have something to give.
No man can want you all.
Live, and learn to live.
When all the barriers fall
You are nothing at all.’
Edwin Muir, "Circle and Square".

A group of spiky brown balls, partly lit, that I encountered hiking up in the beautiful hills above Portland, Oregon. Dark, intriguing, and attractive, they seized and held on to my attention for quite a while.
This beautiful vase has got a nice girlfriend and nestles on our sideboard. The diameter of the opening is only 25 mm. A bit of backlighting and the use of a Domiplan 50 mm with open aperture 2.8 produce the interesting bokeh.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!
Dies schöne Vase hat eine gute Freundin getöpfert und schmückt schon viele Jahre unser Sideboard. Der Durchmesser der Öffnung ist nur 25 mm. Ein bisschen Gegenlicht und die Benutzung eines Domiplan 50 mm bei offener Blende 2,8 erzeugen das interessante Bokeh.
Vielen Dank für Eure Besuche, Kommentare und Sternchen!
This winding staircase was actually taken in London believe it or not. And here we thought Rome (Vatican Museum) and Paris (Arc de Triomphe) had the most legendary staircases ever! Thanks to Nadia who let me know! On another note, I am working on designing a book with my photos from Europe in the past year. Been at it for a good 3-4 days and it still needs a lot of work to refine the design of it. Trying to get it up to 160 pages of pictures that I am happy with is not an easy task...
The week is almost at its hump now. The weekend is creeping up ever closer and with that, I am even closer to packing up my bags and going to Heathrow Terminal 5 back home :( It is coming so fast I can hardly believe it. It’s going to be a busy 2 weeks here but I will try and keep up. Work has assigned me to a job in Newcastle next week of all places. What an adventure that will turn out to be lol.
One of the things we strive for in life is to learn from mistakes. That is what life is about isn’t it? None of us are perfect (though some people would like us to believe otherwise) and we all have cracks. We fall down so that we can learn to get up (sorry Batman). Sometimes I have this fear that I may repeat a mistake and just end up going in circles. I guess the important thing is that even if we may find ourselves in the same situation, the goal is to always do it differently (if that is what you so choose). Not unlike this picture, I guess. We may seem like we are going in a circle but as long as you end up in a different destination than before, at least there’s been movement, good or bad.
Life is a circle of ups and downs much like a Ferris wheel... and just like riding a Ferris wheel we ought to rejoice and recuperate as we reach the bottom... for the next ascend would be more adventurous and rewarding wouldn't you agree?. Are you ready for the next push?
