Default City background

Im looking to find a city background for some GCSE work of mine, just im not sure where to find one. The scene involves a ferris wheel with motion blur, and I would like to have something more complex than plain black in the background. Any links to any suitable pics would be good.

P.S The scene is at night. Thanks.

Google can be your best asset. Just type in "city background" and click on "images". You'll get thousands of returns.

If you're anywhere near London there's a big ferris wheel thingy there near Parliament. You can always take your own pic

Nice pic, thanks. Ive found that using skytacer at night with a load of volumetric lights at the base of the wheel gives quite a nice affect. I think I may keep that pic for other projects, as I dont think it will be quite right for this one, if thats alright with you.

P.S Ill think you'll find "that ferris wheel in london" is a little thing we call The London Eye.
