This image, by Robert Adams is part of a black & white series titled "Summer Nights". The image shows a spinning ride in an amusement park, tilted and whirling around. The lighting is provided only by the on-board lights of the ride, the nearby attractions and the moon. Given the lighting constraints and the motion, it is a remarkably clear image.

The series was taken in the mid-70's of various sites near his home in Longmont, Colorado. All the images appear casual, as if just views from an evening stroll. There is no obvious underlying message, but the images are of high quality. I liked this one because of the pattern of a large circular form made up of smaller circles.
