Looks to me like you slightly changed contest subject - it was "Going 'Round In Circles"

I was tired since it was around 5:00 am when I posted it.

Tough choices again! I think I'm going with Janus'. Something about the simplicity of the patterns and colors appeals to me. I like Andre's spider web a lot too, but it just felt a bit unfocused (I'm not really sure how one can focus on a spider web, so can hardly blame him for the difficulty there, but it's enough to make it a close second rather than first place for me).
 
Glondor, has my admiration. Garden hoses become mighty Sea Serpents in my hands, a battle which I often loose. Plus he gets bonus points for buying a hose that brings out the subtle undertones of his Berber carpet.
 
I voted for Borek's cut log with the visible tree rings, which convey the passage of time.

Andre's spider web was a close 2nd in my decision.
 
I voted for Glondor because I want to hear everyone who loses complain about getting hosed.
 
Wow! Not one vote for my DVD? Would it help if I told you the DVD is the remake of "3:10 to Yuma" staring Russel Crowe? No? OK...

I still haven't been able to decide yet - too many neat interpretations of the theme.
 
Thanks for the votes folks. This was part of a series I did at work one day several years ago.I photographed everything spirally, loopy and wound I could find. Here is a link to the rest if you are interested. The yellow airline was almost my choice for the contest. Nothing special, just bored at work.

Wow, definitely some good shots. I was torn between Janus and Borek, but Janus pulled ahead in the end for the literal depiction of 'going round'. Great shot though Borek.

I agree, incidentely the Dutch word for spider is "spin".

We should have a poll. Who throws more tidbits of trivial knowledge at the end of their posts. Andre or Ivan Seeking. I'm not complaining, I love them, the tidbits not the men.

I'll have to go with Borek and force someone to break a 4-way tie for first. His take on the contest was pretty original, and since I burn wood for heat, I take the carbon cycle pretty seriously.
