Spinning Light on Grand Parade

Long exposure photograph looking upward through bare winter tree branches at the Cork Christmas Ferris wheel at night in December 2017. The spinning wheel has created circular light trails in concentric rings of white, yellow, orange and red radiating from the bright centre. A leafless tree trunk rises through the centre of the frame, its delicate branches silhouetted against the glowing disc of light. The dark night sky forms the background above the tree canopy.

The Big Wheel or Ferris wheel, is back in the Grand Parade in Cork, but these photos are from December 2017! You’d hardly know, except for the posters on the buildings behind. This was before Ukraine was attacked by Russia and there is now a flag of Ukraine with the text, “We’re with you Ukraine” on one of the buildings to the left of this photo.
