Man you just missed that 7. I must say I've not seen a pattern like that before on a wheel shot.

Nice find, nice capture. I like how the buildings are still visible behind the spinning thingie.

It's a neat image. Too bad it isn't higher up above the trees.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow, what is that? Very nice meet-the-challenge, and the wheel just pops out from the background. I especially like that you can see the cityscape through the wheel, too. It's a shame the trees break up the full circle of the wheel, but I suppose that couldn't be avoided.
