One circle (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) of a circular playground toy containing dozens of these circles, designed for small children to look through and see a skewed view of the playground. -- April 8, 2018
Not sure I was going to post this, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. We were in Chicago, at night, ready to go down the stairs to the Blue Line train, when we saw this window, with a weird moving display (installment). We had time before the train came, so we took a few shots.
Circle Park was very inviting and lots of places to relax and enjoy some of the towns treats and beverages. Sebring, FL
Happy Bench Monday!
“CIRCLES OF LIFE
Everything
Turns,
Rotates,
Spins,
Circles,
Loops,
Pulsates,
Resonates,
And
Repeats.
Circles
Of life,
Born from
Pulses
Of light,
Vibrate
To
Breathe,
While
Spiraling
Outwards
For
Infinity
Through
The lens
Of time,
And into
A sea
Of stars
And
Lucid
Dreams.

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.

Using the paintings of Georgia Gray for inspiration, I made this as a sample piece for my LQS's new Kona club. It's too big for a doll quilt anyway at 19"x28" so I'll just have to have it hang in my house. Awww....

Sunset on 26-October. The view towards Wong Wiang Yai, lit. the "big [traffic] circle". Bangkok sunsets can be madly fantastic, partly due to scattering caused by poor air quality.
.
The 64m high Buddha statue visible in the distance a few km away was built since approx 2019 and completed around 2021. On 2 occasions every year the sun passes right behind in this view. I've been here previously in Feb-2023, and in July 2020 i also published a shot of the Buddha itself when it was still under construction, please feel free to check my Bangkok album.
.
At present the Buddha's head is surrounded by scaffolding with a standard green plastic sheeting as cover. During day time it obscures the shape of the sculpture, but with the setting sun directly behind it adds a remarkable quality.
.
Interestingly, the dictionary shows the phrase 'Wong Wiang' could also mean "compass", but that might imply a meaning not intended at time of shooting; however, it did influence the processing. I couldn't help but think about how sometimes we seem to rush past so many things on our journey, with so many things getting ever more colourful and inventive in their attention (and wallet) grabbing attempts, but then, where is it all heading and leading to, is there an exit from the big circle or does it keep going round and round?
.
Anyhow, at the time of shooting I was aiming to do some more Bangkok cityscapes again and 'just' hoping to capture one of these intense sunsets in a great location, and hit very lucky indeed on that day :)
.
How do you think?

Seashells embeded in sedimentary rock collected on the beach at Ano Nuevo Point in Ano Nuevo State Park, San Mateo County, California; the ones forming circles are possibly limpets.

This stone circle dates back to 3000 BC and it is the most amazing place to be. We had perfect light and weather on this morning and both took loads of photos. There will be more...
HTM :-)
when my thoughts run in circles, I say to myself: at least they will make a beautiful pattern

The remains of whaling are everywhere in Svalbard. The bones of these great beasts, bleached ashen white, lie piled high on the beaches where they fell. Standing amidst such desecration, I can hardly bear to look at them. I turn away and photograph an abandoned boat, its hull leaden grey, a ghost that haunts the beaches still. It seems to me the mountains should be wreathed in angry cloud beneath a dark and brooding sky. Instead the sun shines and the mountains sleep. Nature does not mourn, I think to myself. The days pass. The seasons turn. Bones and boats will one day fall to dust. I wonder, when they are gone, will whales still cross the oceans? I hope so.
