Funfair ride on Londons South Bank
London, England - 2012; Held on the London South Bank, this funfair was part of national celebrations on the day before the opening of the London Olympics. As we all know, the modern London Olympics turned out to be one of the best and most successful, ever.
Here we see two contrasting ways to fly. The birds approach looks rather more elegant and effortless, but not - perhaps - quite so much fun as the funfair ride

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of a funfair ride on London's South Bank during the summer of 2012. Held as part of national celebrations leading up to the opening of the highly anticipated London Olympics, this event was a testament to the city's ability to host unforgettable experiences. In this image, we witness two contrasting ways to soar through the sky. While birds effortlessly glide with elegance and grace, there is an undeniable sense of exhilaration and joy emanating from the funfair ride. Suspended in hanging seats by sturdy cables, passengers are thrilled as they rotate high above ground level. The backdrop of tree leaves against a cloudless blue sky adds to the excitement and relaxation that comes with sunny weather. London, being both England's capital city and a major tourist attraction, has always been known for its ability to provide leisure and recreation opportunities for people from all walks of life. This particular moment captured by Jon Bower showcases not only the thrill-seeking nature of individuals but also highlights how events like these contribute to making London one of Britain's most beloved destinations. As we reflect on this photograph years later, it serves as a reminder that while natural flight may be elegant, sometimes it is in embracing man-made thrills that we truly experience pure enjoyment and create lasting memories.
