Spin Around The City

The theme for this month's theme day is 'revolution'.

Nottingham has had a few revolutionaries down the years; the Luddites, Robin Hood, and played a part in the English Civil War.

But i've gone for something a little different, in the giant Ferris Wheel that appeared in the Old Market Square earlier in the year.

I used a fish eye lens, to give it and even more round look. Incidentally, I didn't go on it, as I am scared of heights.

Spiderman

They've started taking down the Nottingham Wheel in the Old Market Square. It might take them a couple of days, as it's so big.

I passed by at lunchtime and they had taken down all the cabins and removed some of the arms of the wheel.

I am no good with heights, so I could never be able to climb up like this workman is doing. Balancing, while undoing the big metal parts of the Wheel.

Apparently there was a big metallic crash this afternoon, as one chunk of metal hit another. No one was hurt, but it made the news.

City Lights

A shot from the Castle grounds of the Nottingham skyline, which I took during Friday's Light Night celebrations. There is of course the big ferris wheel situated in the Old Market Square on the left. The Victoria Centre flats in the middle and of course the dome of the Council House on the right.

Wheel Of Light

The city centre came alive tonight when the annual Light Night festival took place across various areas of the city, much to the delight of the thousands of people that I saw walking around the Lace Market, Hockley and the castle.

Of course the highlight for many was seeing the Nottingham Wheel lit up and people seeing the skyline in the night sky.
