Here are the guidelines: You select one of your own photos to post that in some way utilizes the topic. Use the topic as a concrete prompt, or find a novel approach. Each person, just one post/photo per thread topic, (or two if you must)please. Photos should be resized to be no wider than 600 pixels. Too-large photos slow down the loading of the thread, and will be deleted. Read about how to post a photo in a thread, here. If you have an idea for a photo hunt topic, contact one of the Mods to offer the suggestion instead of beginning another thread.
Posting photos in the thread gives your permission for SlowTrav to eventually move the photos over to Photohunt albums in the Slow Photos site.
This week's prompt is "Round"
You're encouraged to describe your photo--where you shot it, details of what you were doing or what was going on, etc.

This is a much-photographed door in the village of Lourmarin in Provence. I liked the way in the late afternoon the round spiral of the shadow of the light fixture echoed the rounded arch of the door.
As soon as I saw the topic, I thought of the photo below - taken in the early morning from the window of our gite in September 2005 on our first visit to the Luberon. We were staying at Mas Briançonceu about 5 km from Lacoste, with Menerbes behind the mist to the right of the photo.
What I remember most about this photo is that it was not a static shot. The mist rolled over & down the Petit Luberon in the background into the valley, around the outcropping in the pic & continued on to our gite. A couple of minutes after I took the shot we were enveloped in the mist.
Pages and pages of rounds....hard to choose! How about my granddarling's round rasperry tarte filled with round raspberries, each composed of cluster of round seedlets? Does that count?
Her Uncle Mikey gave her this luscious little number that had vanilla creme custard underneath the berries, paired with some cold, hard cash that he lovingly tucked inside of the ribbon and wrapping, so she could buy herself a couple of pairs of hot leather shoes in Paris...which she did! Aren't favorite uncles just the best thing?
