Looking across the capped tops of the bars of an aluminium fence at the Thebarton Oval, with the green grass in the background.
In Australia, we call our sports stadium an "oval" because that is its shape.

Little Round Top is the smaller of two rocky hills south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania—the companion to the adjacent, taller hill named Big Round Top. It was the site of an unsuccessful assault by Confederate troops against the Union left flank on July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Considered by some historians to be the key point in the Union Army's defensive line that day, Little Round Top was defended successfully by the brigade of Col. Strong Vincent. The 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commanded by Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, fought the most famous engagement there, culminating in a dramatic downhill bayonet charge that is one of the most well-known actions at Gettysburg and in the American Civil War.

The 1923 Lingotto building once housed a Fiat assembly plant - the ramp was part of the manufacturing. During its day, it was the largest car factory in the world.
This ramp was featured in the 1969 movie The Italian Job.
Today this section of the building is a mall.
This shot pushed the limits of my old Sony RX100 camera but was happy to have captured.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

For Looking Close...on Friday's #round theme
A row of watercolour crayons. (slightly less macro, a little more "close up" this week)
This is the famed "Round Rock" that the city was named after. I looked it up and it seems that I didn't have the story right.
In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community "Brushy," and the creek was called "Brushy Creek". But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock. After the Civil War, Jesse Chisholm began moving cattle from South Texas through Round Rock on the way to Abilene, Kansas. The route he established, which crossed Brushy Creek at the round rock, became known as the Chisholm Trail.[17] Most of the old buildings, including the old Saint Charles Hotel, have been preserved. This historic area is now called "Old Town.
