orange on blue by summerfield

orange on blue

"round like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending no beginning
in an ever spinning wheel
like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that's turning
running rings around the moon
like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind.."
- theme from 'the thomas crown affair'

there is no significance in this shot except that it is the only orange i can find around the apartment. it has been on my corner bookshelf where my grandson darren had left it. the table cover just happened to be blue. so why not? and the lights from last night's shot were still on the wall. so why not? actually, that's a mean bokeh compared to last night's, isn't it?

and there goes october and the last of the 'either or october' challenge. thank you to ann @olivetreeann and alia @alia_801 for this fun challenge. tomorrow starts another quite interesting challenge devised by dixie @pandorasecho. for details of the "thankful for" november challenge, here's the link, if you would be inclined as to join us starting tomorrow: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/14769/november-thankful-4-challenge

@salza - thank you, sally. i seem to get this kind of result only if i shoot in macro. maybe i should have the lights farther away.

@claireuk - thank you, claire. hope you're feeling better.

I honestly don't know why, but this looks like a bowling ball to me! I'm sure it's after-effects from Sandy. It must be. Otherwise, I'm insane.
