Adrian, I remember seeing this earlier in the year. One of your many posts that have inspired me. Alistair

Yup............one for the ages Adrian. Don't even think of going out tonight and trying this again ;-) The clock has always been the kicker to this shot for me. A very happy New Year to you.

Cheers Kev, Shirley, Katherine & Scott,

'tis a real shame that no-one, atleast that i'm aware of - gets to ride in the wheel during the fireworks - the operators could charge the earth for the vantage point it offers. I'm steering clear this new years eve. I really did not know what i had until i downloaded them - it was far too crowded at the time. Adrian

Awww Adrian you've had many great shots this year but I agree you set the bar high for yourself after this one, it's a heck of a shot! It has it all and I bet the moment you saw it you were giddy for hours!

This was and still is one of the best pictures I have seen in the past year.

Seasons greetings Adrian.
