British Airways - All Around The World
Night shot of the British Airways i360, on the Brighton seafront, lit up in colour and looking very reminiscent of the cover of All Around The World by the Electric Light Orchestra.
This vertical cablecar opened to the public just over a week ago, on 4 Aug (I was there) though a light show and fireworks display planned for the same night had to be postponed due to high winds.
This was from the rescheduled event (last night, Sat 13 Aug).
I was on a small jetty just to the west of the tower: looking back to the promenade and along the beach, people who had come to see the event stretched as far as the eye could see.
(Although the i360 does do 'rides' after darkness falls - currently up to 9:30pm - it isn't usually lit up like this, so to see it 'in full show' was a rare spectacle, well worth seeing.)
The photo has been very slightly cropped but is otherwise straight from the camera. It was taken with a Nikon Coolpix S8200 compact (tripod mounted). As I said, I was on a small jetty to the west of the tower: I'm guessing the distance was about a quarter of a mile. Fortunately the weather conditions were pretty much ideal.
