Giant Doughnut in Brighton
Walking along Brighton seafront I spotted this giant doughnut and feeling peckish I flew over. I was very disappointed to discover it wasn't real. It turns out it's a piece of art called 'Afloat', not sure it would float as its made of bronze. Afloat is a globe with the poles pushed together, which is the hole. Not sure I understand it, much prefer a nice chocolate doughnut.

Brighton Wheel
My first visit to Brighton. Weather wasn't too good. Despite the weather I went for a walk along the seafront and found this big wheel. It's just to the east of Brighton Pier. The wheel is quite big and you can see into peoples houses, I think you are supposed to look out to sea and along the coast though. As it's 160' above sea level you can see a long way. It was built in Germany and was set up in South Africa before coming to Brighton, I suppose they just roll it along with a giant stick. I rather like it, though lots of people objected as it's in a conservation area. It looks rather jolly to me and suits the seaside. If the weather was better I would have gone for a fly over the top of it and looked at the people going round.
