Big Wheel Keep On Turning by phil_howcroft

Big Wheel Keep On Turning

There's a big wheel in Nottingham at the moment. It appears once a year for a few weeks. There's probably an equivalent big wheel in a city near you too or there has been !

The big wheel gives panoramic views of the city including the beautiful Council House.

I had my Sony nifty fifty and couldn't get the whole wheel in without getting some tram lines intersecting the sky.

So this is the net result a big wheel and the Council hose dome.

I quite like the composition :)

Wonderful perspective. Lovely in B&W and now I have the song stuck in my head!

This is a great juxtaposition. Last one of these I went up on was at the Christmas Market in Lille. I went on our more local London Eye years ago. Rather fun things on a bright day, but not in Summer - you roast in those capsules!

'....Proud Mary keep on burning...' :) I remember when that was in the charts; they don't make 'em like that any more, siiigh!

Great juxtaposition, range of tones and geometry.

Memories! I assume the lions are still there by the steps? ".... meet you at _ o'clock at the right lion" ... lovers words often used after an evening out

@yrhenwr the lions are still there ..."left lion perhaps" :)
March 6th, 2019  
@phil_howcroft You're right Phil... for me it was always the left lion! Nice to know they are still there.

@yrhenwr there's an arts magazine in Nottingham called the "left lion", available online too. A decent read, they used one of my pics a few years ago
