It is a 20 story tall Ferris Wheel with a virtual light show that was displayed on the spokes of the wheel . The colors were amazing and seeing as I had a few minutes before the fireworks show I thought I would take some shots of the wheel as well.

Challenges such as low light, bright sunlight and many back lighting conditions can be over come without the shortcomings of the slow refresh rates of many electronic viewfinders.
