Lens-Artists Challenge #290 – Cirkular Wonders

Photography

What a beautiful cavalcade of photographs Ann- Christine presented us in her unique challenge this week. Circular wonders is something that does make your think first of moon, sun, and ball. No? But you can find it in unexpected places when you take a moment to think about it. Half or full circle …

I did some digging and this is what I found. To enlarge the images just click on any of them the the separate galleries – I recommend it 🙂

Now that I covered the obvious choices it is time to concentrate finding something more creative. Few days ago we took our grandkids at the end of their visit to the Helsinki train station and went to have lunch at one of the restaurants there. It used to be a ticket office. It is a big hall, but the interior is softened by circular interior.

Half circle is a log time hit in architecture . The images are from a jewel of national romantic architecture Hvitträsk museum in Espoo ( the darker photos) and the other two from Villa San Michele in Capri.

I did mentions a ball ⚽ Well come on, I could not, not mention fruits and berries.

And then round – circular things that came up and I couldn’t help myself – just had to post them

Thanks John for last week’s journey to the basics of photography. I truly enjoyed it, as it gave the opportunity to reflect on what is essential in photography. Next week we have Patti challenging us with something else, we will have to wait and see what she comes up with.

  2. What a beautiful response, Ritva! The station restaurant is lovely but I especially like your windows. Funny thing- when I saw your Header I immediately thought Maltesers! Though I know they’re not.

  3. We may not always think about it, but our world is full of round shapes 🙂 You depicted them very beautifully Ritva.

  4. Last gallery is my favourite, Ritva. Again, your style of photography makes everything look so effortless and peaceful. Beautiful post.

  6. So many to love Ritva I and loved how you presented some of them in circular frames. I loved the fruits and berries…and the world goes round and round through your lens.

  7. Ritva, you could have used just the sunset photo, and I would have been super pleased. What a gorgeous photo with the birds flying on the horizon! They are a magnificent addition. The other photos gave me more visual pleasures to enjoy. The ceiling in the restaurant was great. The section with the window arches and fruits and berries was also wonderful (and tasty!). And then, you closed featuring those stunning plates and bowls. A great post, indeed!

  9. Gorgeous galleries, Ritva. Loved your presentation too – clever using so many circles for the circles… The windows from Espoo and the Capri villa are serenely beautiful, and the berries, well – made me long for summer so much I had to go down in my freezer and take out some blackberries and raspberries and some icecream for a late evening meal. Thank you for the ball smile! The sun and the moon are real hits too.

  12. Great circular collection Ritva. I like that basket ball stuck in the wall. And let’s not forget the food. Are those donuts? Yum! Great response!

  13. Lovely circles, Ritva 🙂

    The plate-like ornaments on the wall was a stunning surprise, would love to immerse myself in the details of them ❤

  17. Terrific Ritva! Of course the ball find is marvelous! Also loved that wall of round plates and of course the sweet treats 😊. Very clever to put the round fruit in the round frames – wonderful post.
