Vertical Rainbow

It's All Downhill From Here, Mate

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON

This was a shot that just had to be taken. Those bright colours, those wavy patterns. The slender shadow on the left. Any idea what the shot depicts? It's actually a multi-lane mammoth slide, called the Euroslide. I'd guess it's about 30 metres high and its contours would give anyone an adrenalin rush. This was the tightest frame I could get, incorporating all the numbers, all the colours and as much depth as I could manage.

  1. Water or regular slide? I'm guessing regular.

    Looks fun either way.

  2. Hi Bart,

    Regular. If it was a water slide, I would have been ON it, taking pictures!

    Cheers

    How could you not go for a slide?
    I got wicked road burn on my leg from an alpine slide when I slid off the little cart seat.
    I love the rainbow vision of colors.

  4. Ah, that brings back memories. I LOVE those slides. You definitely should have taken a shot on the way down the slide.

  5. Hi Chewy,

    I resisted stoutly! But I was very focused (literally and metaphorically) on the `rainbow'.

    Glad you liked the shot.
