I agree with Shelby - the contrast in saturations really adds depth and emphasis and says lots of things about old/new/what really has spirit/what's cool/what's gaudy etc. Tasty! Tim

Nikon is the bottom wheel - traditional, solid - Canon the brash newcomer, complete with white pods...but my mental degradation aside, a clever pic, well onserved, I never saw it when I was there - Quentin

Now play nicely boys ;-)

Is that why the horizontal wheel is full of colour and life and the vertical one looks like plastic - oops, did I say that out loud? - run away.... ;-)

It's symbolic of Canon v Nikon wars, I reckon. Horizontal wheels v vertical wheels...
Well spotted.

ach! So much angular momentum, so little time! :-) In spite of my body's reaction to things spinning, I do like the juxaposition of the two different wheels. I like how the larger one is almost ghostly, while the lower one in the forground has so much color.
