Thank you Carin.

Now i must go out and look for circles.

They are everywhere.

Here is mine, a photo called "The Machine" that has some circles and a spiral too:

Wonderful challenge topic!  This month should be a bit more laid back than last ... maybe I can actually take a few pictures!  :)  I'm looking forward to this!

Hi dear Carin,

An exiting theme for this month!
"around the clock with circles", hehehe!

Well Jordi, you really started with a very stunning one.
Looks like a painting to me.

Have a nice weekend, all of you,
Mies.

Jordi - I am not seeing you image... Just what looks like a frog in an ice cube?? I will try another search engine.

Tara, Christo, Mies - looking forward to your circles!!

I wondered what I was going to do for this challenge until I realised I have four circles under me pretty much every waking moment :) Hope this fits the theme.

Great POV and circles, Micturn.

Wonderful first upload for this challenge.

I will explore at work in about 2 hours to see what i can come up with.

Meisiekind ( ) posted Sat, 02 April 2011 at 5:42 AM

Jordi - oh yes! It is excellent. I luckily saw it in the gallery too! It works perfect for the challenge!

Micturn - fantastic pov of the wheel...

Here is my 3.

All captured today at work.

First one. This spider build his spider web in a manhole of which the lid has been removed or stolen a long time ago. The manhole is situated just outside the gate of our lapa along side Qaugga road.The spider has some wonderful colors. I see many circles in his spider web. Just as important as lighting is in photography it is important it  to see and find shapes and forms which our eyes can see. Trust everyone will enjoy my circles.

Number two is a handle of a valve at our cooling towers.

I trust i am still on track regarding the challenge of circles.

Number 3 is some type of valve that was in service at our CW House.The yellow part of this valve has a circle and one can also see many holes where i assume bolts could be put through. So many smaller circles as well. As a bonus every one can see in this picture our dam as well as a Sacred Ibis and an Egyptian Goose.Also did some selective coloring in this picture. Trust every Renderosity member will enjoy this 3 captures.

I discovered the spider and its web only yesterday.

With the new challenge regarding circles what better example of circles do one need then in spider webs. So I decided I would visit and photograph the spider and its web today. I took quite a few pictures of the spider and its web. Was quite difficult to decide which one to upload for the challenge.

 

helanker ( ) posted Sat, 02 April 2011 at 2:28 PM

You are right Cristo and the spider did also a great work, so it is double nice :)

Keep an eye on my gallery.

I will certainly upload more of the spider and its web in the upcoming days.

I agree.

There is so much beauty in naturee.
