I\'ve recently been the UK east coast with my family, one of the sights I saw was this and I could help but capture it using my mobile.I thought I would share it.\"5e293d7f0b81e084df4700b933a1595b.jpg\"

Wow that\'s a beautiful photo!I really love the simplicity and the way the light works to make such a magical scene... Usually Ferris wheels aren\'t very fun during the day because they\'re not all bright and colorful, but in this pic I like it. Slightly apocalyptic to me which is a plus in my books (probably because of the lack of colorful night lights/life and the seemingly barren/arid land).Thanks for sharing!

Its a great photo, The sunlight glow makes the colour fade out and creates a different effect.

I like the way the background becomes the focus drawing you into the picture and creating a greater sense of distance. For me, the sun is a little overpowering but the ferris wheel looks intriguing. Makes me wonder what the same scene would look like in the daytime.

My focus drawn to the centre of the picture, the sky and sand really bring this out. I like the darkness, it makes it warm and inviting.

Pretty but also a little creepy at the same time, I agree with /profile/6-frostykitten/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/6-frostykitten/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"6\">@FrostyKitten in that it looks a bit desolate... the first thing that came to mind is Prypiat, the town just next to Chernobyl, which has been abandoned and you know damn well it\'s dangerous because of the radiation, yet there\'s a ferris wheel there which implies that at some point it would have tried its best to be a sociable and fun place, with emphasis on families and children...

Interesting replies folks, it\'s good to see how differently our minds see things.

Here\'s the same picture with a few effects applied, plus some other little bits of mobile wizardry.

Well to be the revised version looks like a postcard. Maybe it\'s the caption though. I find the lighter effects give it a warmer feel and makes me think it would be a familiar scene to anyone glancing out the window of the drive home after a fun filled family day out
