Circular (it’s going round)

Lens-Artists Challenge #290: Circular Wonders

Now we can begin our travels to see if there are any circular wonders to be found.
We’ll need these to get round.
In case you were wondering, the price was you’ve got to be joking

We’ll go outside, looking round we can see a carved circular shape in the sandstone wall. That was carved in 1892.

Look up. There’s a dome on the Dali Museum in Figures, Spain

Now everyone has to crouch down for this one. Now look through the hole in the back of the chair. Now, wouldn’t you take a photo too?

Back inside. Now we’re in a small rural hall. They kept the ceiling rose thank goodness when they upgraded the power in the hall. They couldn’t get flouro strips to fit the old ceiling rose.

Speaking of roses, I found this one which is rather circular. Also quite pretty. I have no idea of the name

Look, over there the Banksia is flowering, quite circular looking top down

Of course it’s now look up at the ceiling of the ceiling of The Pantheon, Rome

While we are in Rome we may as well have a look at the ceiling in the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri

The most circular of all are the little sand balls made by a Sand Crab excavating a burrow at low tide

Here’s the little bloke. Let it run for a bit, it will get the correct Sand Crab speed. That is all the frames in a 10 frame/second made intro a GIF. I still don’t know how I managed to get it into my media files. I hope it still works for you

Here we are at the most famous circular I know of Circular Quay in Sydney

Now you’ve been everywhere, so we might as well join Lucky Starr with I’ve Been Everywhere The lyrics are all Australian places

To be mellow it’s gotta be……

The Ragtag Daily Prompt Monday: Mellow

What else can I play but this while you have a quick look if you have time.

Which photo took your fancy? Was I mellow enough for the prompt or a bit too yellow. Oh, almost forgot this one. Can you pick why I wanted this photo is included?

Texture – looking at a Banksia

Judes 2020 Photo Challenge #11: Texture

Get in close to a Banksia spinulosa, commonly called a Hairpin Banksia and Bush Candles, seeing why the Banksia has that name. The inner green and the form to yellow with blueish purple tips. 190411_blog_challenge_flower_banksia_spinulosa2
Once you get to see the full flower the colour change is dramatic with the dominant colour becoming orange and a Bush Candle lights up the bush.190411_blog_challenge_flower_banksia_spinulosa1

Banksia Spinulosa

The word prompt for Sheryls Daily Word Prompt April 10: Flower

I was chatting on a post about gardens and someone asked what was  a certain flower. As it was an Australian flower, of course I knew it was a Banksia spinulosa. It’s common name is Hairpin Banksia. Last week I actually photographed a flower. Funny how worlds come together isn’t it.

Well, here is the flower of a Banksia spinulosa
