Shadows behind the lights of a teapot


As I showed you yesterday the Christmas lights have been switched on.

Beforehand there was entertainment on the Civic Square including some fairground rides. On the left is the children's roundabout that has been a permanent fixture here for a century. On the right is the back of a small "skyrider" ride. In the middle is a "teapot-carousel" with the children riding in huge teacups.

It was hard to photograph as attached to the "teapot" were some strong lights that created artefacts. They did however also produce some excellent shadows.

  5. The teapot dominates in a slightly surreal and Wonderland-ish kind of way. Thought is was a giant football trophy when the picture first came up.
