Can think of a few things that are round, like the square ring ;)

This shot was taken in January, this year, after bushfires in the Barossa Valley.

Here's another
I like this , a real toss up between this and the baggage one

[astronobob]

Was experimenting with the 'L' 70-200 with a 35mm extender today and Round things in mind ?
1) Load specs on Horse float tow-hitch coupling.
2) Fine Spring for hand-Brake cable.
3) Screwing around.
4) Berry round.
5) Car Indicator - Round the bend ?

Like Davids railway thingies. They pretty cool.
I'm waiting for the real McCoy Bob. These r pretty good I think, but if you've put em out there as John West's I wanna see the one u kept.

[gliderdog]

round AND shiny

[RB]

So why are you guys posting your rejects and not entering them in the real thread?
Waiting for something better to come along huh?

:lol:

[astronobob]

May-be Andrew & waiting to see the opposition matee ;)
actually havent got around to deciding which & processing somewhat yet

Radial Round :P

[Regulus]

The tree was also round. The fungi were round and they were around the tree.
I think I have exhausted the theme right there :lol:

[Nice photo there Bob. Now I am scared]

[astronobob]

In a round-about-way Trevor, good show. Interesting is what one may think as appropriately effective and what the photographer considers ?

Peter, A good all round capture there too..

[Regulus]

Nice photos, Peter and Tony.

These red rings on a yellow stone beach have me puzzled.
It's a tidal flat and the stones aren't just on the surface.
There are 5 rings in total on this polka-dot shore line.

[astronobob]

If you cant afford a ford, dodge a dodge but holdon to your holden :P

[sheeny]

Probably something hot on the sand / pebbles. I have a dry beach sand pit where I run my little foundry (for safety - if you have to dump molten metal you don't want to dump it on anything wet!). When I put a hot crucible or ingot mould on the sand it turns red like that.;)

Possibly a fires on the beach and then high tide has washed away the ash and coals perhaps.

Your photo in this months challenge JJJJJ is definitely well collimated.
Nice concentric rings!!!!!!!:)

[JB80]

Didn't choose this simply because catching the other pic was harder.

[firstlight]

I don't know... looks like a bit of astigmatism lower right - might need to release the restraining clips. ;)

[Rick Petrie]

Or maybe alter the "Spider VEINS"...:P

[RB]

:lol:

[Regulus]

Al - I think that is the most likely explaination of the how (and it had occurred to me and I thought I mentioned it in the original post but failed to). Still curious as to the when and will have to talk to the locals and see if I can find out. Fires are not something that happen on the beach these days so I am curious about how old they are.

Bob - Oh, wait. Hold on! :-)

There are some excellent photos posted this month so far.

[Regulus]

Do u see how the two screws are round?

[astronobob]

The only idea i have was Fish blood stains after being caught & bled ? either that or a new form of crop circles tho rock circles :rolleyes: c my eyes going round ?
:scared3:

[Regulus]

This month has some seriously good entries and it's a tough call.

One more round thing from me before it's all over tho: An old round thing in the mud of the river bed at low tide. This is beside the very old train way to Don Heads wharf that no longer exists. Part of the past.

Good luck to the other entrants. See u on the other side.

[omegacrux]

Not easy to vote on this one , there's a lot of good photos!
