"Diversión"
Inspired from the Spanish for fun or amusement! Well that's what it says on their website!

Well after waiting a year for this shot I was delighted it wasn't raining! However, it was a tad cold last night as my wife and me dragged the boys down to see the fireworks, and I could grab a few shots of the &quot;<a href="http://www.culturescape.co.uk/mobile/mobile pages/clients/ntc/arts service/shimmer pages/shimmer 2012/diversion 2012.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Shimmer 2012</a>&quot; light exhibition down on Whitley Bay's seafront.

For a full review of all the activities have a look at their website <a href="http://www.culturescape.co.uk/mobile/mobile pages/clients/ntc/arts service/shimmer pages/shimmer 2012/diversion 2012.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Shimmer 2012</a>

However, as I say I waited a year for this chance to grab this image and well I was a tad disappointed with the show as it was the same laser light show from 2010 &amp; 2011! But it is a great way to make your local run down buildings look cool again!

This building here is the once famous and now infamous &quot;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_City" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Spanish City</a>!&quot; ~ notice how we have lovingly improved her by putting up wooden boards painted with tables and chairs, wooden boards with painted on windows have replaced her once famous windows!

Yep she has fallen victim to mindless arguing from councilors to failed plans to renovate her. She was once home to the amusement park that many would say made Whitley Bay famous. Then years of prostituting the town to the demands of stag and hen do's has left us with a rundown town centre that is good for nothing! And the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_City" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Spanish City</a> abandoned and looking lonely! However, hope is on the horizon with plans, again, to turn her into erm &quot;something&quot; we are led to believe!

So at long last I got the dramatic sky I needed for my image of this once famous beauty!
