The Big Wheel

08 Oct 2005

The Show is held at a pretty big location that over the course of the year is used for a variety of events, from a few warehouse sized pavillions being used for hundreds/thousands of students taking Uni exams, to large music festivals with 50,000 people, and everything in between.

One weekend H was manning a stand at an Expo that was happening there, but being pretty much tied to the spot made getting lunch a bit tricky. So I became the support crew, and brought in a shoe box of various snacks that could be easily nibbled at opportune moments. I had fun, coz I got to zip around town, use the trade entrance to the place, and waltz in and out of the expo with my 'exhibitor' badge.

Anyway, on one of the trips to and fro I noticed that The Big Wheel, usually seen full of people and lit up at night, was but a shell of it's former self in the off months. It was interesting to see it that way. And as I walked by thinking it looked almost naked, I hit the sweet spot of an eclipse.
