The Round Tower and the other nearby fortifications were purchased by Portsmouth City Council the 1960s. The interior (ground floor) of the Round Tower is administered by Portsmouth City Council. In 2011 the interior of the Round Tower was converted for use as an exhibition gallery (click here for details of current exhibitions) . The roof of the Round Tower is open to the public all year round.

Overview of the side/back and the round tower, which contained the drawing room, said to have been the most beautiful room in the castle.
Nothing's ever been so wild
All that I get to do is what I give to you
This is all about the circles we've found
And through the ups and downs it goes round
Oh, I was just beginning to grow strong
She was only eighteen summers long
Oh, we were the news
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know
This is the game that we came here for
Round and round it goes
And oh don't you know

Round Up

I wrote a blog post about my creative process for this photo.

If you are curious how I created and edited this photo, check out my totem pole photo on my blog for some of the steps on making someone into wood. It's very similar for this photo smile emoticon:)

"Round here something radiates", Counting crows
This is a picture I took some time ago, and by far the one that took me longer to get. Even though, I'm not sure it came out as good as I expected.
Myself standing there.
This is the Lenox "Eerie-Go-Round" carousel for their Halloween village. I just love it. It has rats, crows, and a broomstick on it.
A round of ammunition engraved HMS Harvester. The round has been fired & the tip crimped back on for completeness. The shell is shown compared in size with a 50 pence piece. HMS Harvester was a Havant class of British destroyer completed in 1939. Harvester was sunk on 11th March 1943 after ramming U444 which had attacked the convoy under the protection of the destroyer. The two vessels were locked together for a short time until the U boat managed to break free. The Harvester gave chase & managed to ram U444 for a second time & sank it. Harvester was now running on only one engine due to the collision with the U boat. The remaining engine gave up whilst she attempted to catch up with the convoy & the now dead in the water Harvester was torpedoed twice by U432 & she sank with the loss of 144 lives. Shortly after sinking the HMS Harvester U432 was itself sank by an American destroyer. The vessel that sank it picked up survivors from both HMS Harvester & U432!! I purchased the ammunition round a few years back from an odds & end shop.
Tried using my wide angle lens for the barrel racing at the Rainmaker rodeo. It really gives it a different prespective that I'm not sure if I like or not. I may try it again depending on the rodeo arena and background i can get with it.

Fertagh (Grangefertagh) Round Tower and Church Ruins, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. Date: probably 11th century.
The tower is all that remains of an earlier monastery. Most of the conical top is missing. The doorway was damaged by the removal of some stones, probably in the late 1800s.
Round towers are early medieval stone towers - it is thought they were principally bell towers, places of refuge, or a combination of these.
Title: Rounding Poppasquash Point
Date: 9/5/15
Location: Narragansett Bay Bristol, RI
Caption: Spotted this classic while out on Narragansett Bay – I believe it is a Herreshoff Power Cruiser design as this is the home port for these early 1900’s watercraft. Notice how little wake this boat kicks up in comparison to today’s power crusiers. This was shot with a long lens from a moving boat and then cropped so the resolution is not as optimal as I would like
Thanks for viewing and comments welcome

Koroit Commercial Road Conservation Area
Source: Go to the Register of the National Estate for more information.
Identifier: 15046
Location: Commercial Rd, Koroit
Local
Government: Moyne Shire
State: VIC
Country: Australia
Statement of
Significance: The conservation area consists of a number of important public buildings and a street of relatively intact humble shopfronts and kerbline verandahs, visually punctuated by opposing bank facades. Containing a range of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century structures, the conservation area strongly evokes a sense of the town's past (Criterion E.1).
Description: Koroit is located some miles to the north of the main coastal road, the Princes Highway, and is approximately midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. It lies on the northern slopes of the volcanic Tower Hill, enjoying the benefits of rich soil and shelter from the weather from the Southern Ocean. The qualities of the soil have long made the district suitable to intensive cultivation, producing abundant crops of potatoes, onions and peas, usually in association with diary cattle, pigs and fat lambs. The area also once produced mustard, linseed, wheat and oats. The township of Koroit developed to serve the needs of the district. The close settlement and small holdings allowed Koroit to grow into a larger town than would normally be expected within a short distance (17km) from the regional centre, Warrnambool, and from Port Fairy which is 20km distant. The predominant green of year round cultivation and the scale of the district's holdings and buildings have led many observers to see a similarity with Irish landscapes. Commercial Road, the main street of Koroit, is a flat, straight stretch of road. This is the commercial and administrative centre of Koroit and contains a number of interesting late nineteenth and early twentieth century shops, dwellings and public buildings. The focal point of the commercial/administrative precinct is the group of public buildings near the intersection of Boundary/Commercial Road and High Street. Included are the municipal offices and the bluestone post office. The latter was built in 1872 and is of special significance through its link with author Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson whose mother was postmistress here in 1878; Ethel's father died in Koroit in 1879 and the author used the town for the setting of the third novel in her trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Also included within this precinct are the courthouse (1871-72), and the state school (1878). Also of note at the intersection is the decorative Koroit Hotel with detailing showing Art Nouveau influence (especially in the verandah). Diagonally opposite is the Courthouse Inn, an interesting Edwardian weatherboard building now unlicensed but still used for accommodation. The Commercial Road shopping area runs west from this intersection, consisting primarily of single storey shops although the State Savings Bank and, directly opposite, the National Bank are exceptions. The National Bank in its present form dates from c 1872 when architect George Jobbins was commissioned to remodel the facade and to erect an additional storey. Jobbins was also commissioned to design the premises of the Colonial Bank of Australasia (now the State Savings Bank) in 1876. The design of this bank closely relates to the National Bank in Warrnambool (1868-69) designed by Lloyd Tayler, Jobbins' former employer. Though there are a number of later intrusions in the Commercial Road area, some of them unfortunate, the prevailing kerbline verandah posts and valances are still sufficient to evoke a strong sense of the town's past. This is emphasised by the town's relative isolation, being by passed by all the major district highways.
