.......and my daughter might drag me away from the main street, but in the Arndale Shopping Mal I still found a huge window to photograph the wheel and the busy shopping street! ....I have done a bit of jiggery pockery here and reversed the photograph as the letters are on the outside of the window and back to front - so now the outside is back to front and the letters the right way around! :) ....I know it is a busy picture and not perfect but I liked the view of the wheel from here and the reflections in the glass of the surrounding buildings. ....now down to some serious shopping! ;)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

Busy, but totally intriguing, Patti! Excellent job of bringing all those right angles together in this comp. And, I love the expression "jiggery pockery". That's a new one on me.

Lets replace the word busy for dynamic, and then you got a perfect image ! :-)
Good thinking of mirroring the image, now it looks totaly right !!!
It has become a good city shot Patti !!

Now, lay all your shoppings on the table that you bought and make a desktop of that !
Just show what you all did buy ;-)

The shot is a grand example of the art of geometry.
Intersecting line with arc, triangles with squares, parallel lines being bisected, and every other configuration possible can be found here. A prime example of the human mind working with just not the analytical but also the artistic to create form and function that together enhances both practicality and enjoyment of life.

LOL...it's hard to follow the grand comment that hekirby just made. He obviously has a marvelously mathematically inclined mind, and I wouldn't want to disturb the mood he created..so yeah, what he said :)

LOL! Jiggery pockery eh Patti? Well, that's a new one on me, but I really like the perspective and the way you captured all the city's elements. =)

Clever jiggery pokery Patti.
Lots to see, pleasing to the eye, and everything hekirby said, of course.
And for me, memories - I THINK this is the mall I managed to get lost in - I say think because once lost its difficut to know where you are. I do remember however the disgust and distain from a hub and a son for 'loosing' them and of course after panic-stations, having to console myself with a bit of therapy of the retail variety - a most wonderful cure-all.

Patti, although this image is taken through a window the result is perfect. Wonderful composition, this time of a city 'landscape'. Regards, Cornelius

It is a busy picture, but I think that's okay with this shot; it is a city centre after all! I like the incongruity of the stark modernness of the shopping centre giving a view through a high-tech wheel to an old tudor building in the background. Fascinating stuff...!
