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.
