And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

There are few stone circles in Britain in such a dramatic setting as that of Castlerigg, which overlooks the Thirlmere Valley in the Lake District National Park with the mountains of High Seat and Helvellyn as a backdrop
It is not just its location that makes this one of the most important British stone circles; considered to have been constructed about 3000 bc, it is potentially one of the earliest in the country.

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.

This is a trip down memory for this image was shot with my very first digital camera, the 10.2MP Nikon D80. This file was reprocessed using Fuji's Kodachrome film simulation.
So many circles for photography
The circle is composed of light bulbs
Beautiful in a resort where we stayed
In Batangas, Philippines
