Travel theme: Round

I’m still a little enchanted by the magic of Brian Boru’s fort, with its rounded earthen walls guarded by a ring of trees, so I went looking for a few more rounded photos I’ve taken on my travels.

First up, the glowing and humming round flowers of the Sonic Bloom exhibit in Seattle.

An eye-catching ball of water fountain in the lobby of the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Looking through the round portholes of a rather unusual ship in a bottle along the banks of the Hudson River in Manhattan.

The stunning ceiling of an unexpected monastery with more than a few secrets on the outskirts of Washington D.C.

I hope you’re going to stick a-round to come up with your own interpretation. If you would like to join in this week’s travel theme (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
