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.

I considered posting one more snow image, but instead decided to go into my archives and post something very different for me. I took this while on a road trip around Vancouver Island last September. I can pretty much bet you didn't know this was mine when you first saw it :)
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.
