Green eye...
29th May 2021

'always look for a different angle of view whatever the subject' was instilled in me at the beginning of my photography career by my then mentors, something I've held true over the last four decades. So when this London Eye looking ferris wheel ‘landed’ on Parker’s Piece Cambridge rather than take the cliche shot of it close up I decided to bide my time and see if an alternative view point would come my way. My self-control was rewarded a few days later when a corporate photo assignment location offered me this shot. It shows the greenness of Cambridge and also has a War of Worlds type feel to it, Is the wheel unattached and rolling free? Has the natural environment overgrown an abandoned piece of engineering?
