This is a video of the Great Wheel’s reflection filmed from Pier 57 in Seattle on September 4th around 9pm showing surface reflection effects. The blue edges show the outside circumference of the wheel and the inner white lines in the foreground outline the curvature of the water’s surface.

Hi Konstantinos, I love the vibrance and colors of the neon lights in this image – it adds a lot of aesthetic value. The crisp and sharp lines of the concentric circles reflecting off the flow almost looks like something I would draw in a fluid mechanics problem (or alternatively in a drawing – this is one of my favorite styles of drawing/art). This is one of my favorite get wet projects. Nice work!
Neutral Questions: What did the light source look like?
Statement of Meaning: Capturing the ever-changing rings of neon blue from the wheel reflected in the water proves to be beautiful and hypnotic
