We are in a deep freeze right now but the sun has been out so might as well take advantage of the sun while stuck indoors and photograph oil and water.

The story behind this photo:
I was walking home on Sunday afternoon when I came across this puddle of water beneath the block opposite to mine. I could see the reflection of my block very clearly in the puddle due to the direction of the light at that particular point in time.
I have always wanted to take a reflection shot and thus I hurried up to grab my camera. My vase of cut flowers was by the doorway and I decided to grab this stalk of Gerbera as well.
I tried out several shots with the Gerbera placed at different positions and shot from multiple angles. Coincidentally, it then started to drizzle and I was finally able to capture this shot of the reflection of my block and the Gerbera in addition to the concentric wavefronts produced by the rain drops on the puddle of water. I named the photo 'Circles of Life' as I hope that this photo is able to subtly represent the life within the housing block community.
Number 5 of our joint 1/Week project.
Somehow, editing this image made me want to hear this beautiful song.

HMM... the macromonday theme for today, 4/8, is circle. of the 150+ shots i did of various circles, this is one of the brass button ones, but i liked the napkin ring one the best. so no dithering today :)
The stone circle at Castlerigg 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 BC, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages
Clouds in the sky after a rainy morning. I went to Oak Canyon to get out and smell the fresh air. This set was captured from the same spot on a hill top. I was lucky today. It was a good day.
This Turkey Vulture was actually being chase by crows. It was a massive bird.
The circle of life caught up to these poor little mayflies snared in a web in Lakewood Park in Tecumseh, Ontario

"We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust...
The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance."

Another scanned picture from our winter in Cumbria many years ago.
Swinside stone circle stands 4km west of the village of Broughton in Furness, Cumbria and is visually perhaps the most impressive of all the stone circles in the region. It is a monument of great beauty in a perfect location, set on the secluded eastern flank of Black Combe, below Swinside Fell.
The circle has an overall diameter of around 27m and consists of 55 stones, of which 32 are standing, some very closely set. The tallest is 2.3m in height and stands almost exactly at the north.
On the day we visited Swinside we walked the one kilometre farm track from the lane in the late afternoon. On reaching the circle, the winter sun was already quite low, casting a spectacular soft light across the ground and the stones.
