Sunset wheel by maggiemae

Sunset wheel

The Big Wheel at the Oamaru A&P Show (Agriculture and Pastoral) Show. It was their 150th Show and there were lots of people having fun and being informed about new products etc. My husband was helping at the Lion's catering caravan selling hot dogs and chips. He wrote up the prices on a board and instead of putting "Drinks" for $2 he wrote "Fizz" and then thought the younger lot wouldn't know what that was!
Fantastic silhouette - what an interesting shaped big wheel - you should tag it for this week's theme (theme-structures)

Good one Mags. I took a similar shot last week. Ferris wheels make such interesting silouettes at sunset, don't they?
February 25th, 2013  
Great sillouette

@cromwell I had to sit around and wait for it but could see it was going to have good light, Cromwell. You don't find these just down at the corner, though!
February 25th, 2013

@maggiemae -- Nope. Mine was at a fair that set up for just a weeks stay. Then [puff!] they moved on.

By the way, I snuck in a little in-joke about you in my year end photo I posted yesterday. Did you catch it? :-p
February 25th, 2013

@cromwell Do you mean the one with the gorilla sitting on the toilet!?! Be interested to know how I got connected with this shot! However, brilliant for all the favs and comments. Everybody loves you!
February 25th, 2013  
@maggiemae -- Look closely at the grafitti on the wall. ;-D

Beautiful silhouette! Gorgeous tones in the sky :)

I love the silhouette of the Big Wheel against the pastel skies. I would love to ride one of these again. Probably the closest wheel I could find around here would be at a church carnival ... LOL!
February 25th, 2013  
Perfect timing maggiemae, it shows off the rather vintage style of this ferris wheel beautiful. You can see all the struts & it's a very good entry for the theme this week...I would vote for this any day!!!!Fave!
February 25th, 2013  
Great shot Maggie. Fav.
