Riesenrad
25 February 08
(Shot from inside a moving train)
One of the famous playplace for kids, Praterstern. The big Riesenrad (Ferris/Giant wheel) has become a Viennese icon much like the London Eye or Tokyo's Big-O or the Singapore Flyer. Apart from the Ferris wheel the kids really enjoy the features of a Carnival, Chuck; there's a merry go round! =P
Since tomorrow is theme day, I'm guessing it will be hard to pick again which photo I should upload so I'd be posting one now.
The kids picking up stones by the lakeside. The lake is of course, Vienna's Danube river.

Riesenrad looks like a giant fan. The view from the top might be astonishing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's the red thing Dong, it wasnt there before, but it seems to be a cloth...I'd go there one time and confirm hehe =D
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of your kids by the banks of the Danube. The shot of the Riesenrad was nice too.
ReplyDeleteIf only the kids know that they're sitting on the banks of a river that is not only historic but one that also inspired a waltz.
I finished my post for tomorrow's post Panaderos which is about water (btw, may I ask for your real name? hihi)...I saved it na. I got confused when I read your comment because I wrote about the waltz and the Danube for tomorrow...I was thinking I might have posted it earlier by mistake!
ReplyDeleteThe kids just laugh when I hum: 'tan ta nan tan tan, tantan tantan!' =D
Riesenrad; reminds me of the eye that we have here in Malaysia. It was for the Visit Malaysia 2007.

ReplyDeleteTan ta nan tan tan, tan tan, tan tan tan tan tantan. ♫♪

Most countries have a big Ferris wheel at one point no Kyels? but bigger ones are really fascinating, I am scared though and nevr tried it =D
ReplyDeleteLet's dance to the tune Fenix! Hihi.
ReplyDeleteLovely ferris wheel. Looks like a great amusement park. Maybe I'll get to Vienna in the next year or so ......
ReplyDeleteGizelle, what in the world are you doing up at this time of the night?
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice idea Chuck!
ReplyDeleteThat should be a question for you...Its night there, its 6:30 am here! =D I'd be off to taking my daughter to school, but I'll post first for theme day. See yah later!
Gizelle, one of us has our time zones mixed up. I'm thinking there is a 9 hour difference? Gee, I guess it's me. -:) When I stop and do the math 9 pm in Seattle is 6 am in Vienna. Well thanks for the theme day photo of the Danube!
ReplyDeleteTime difference is always confusing for me Chuck, especially when we have to do daylight savings, since we adjusted 2 days ago, its 8 hours difference now :D
ReplyDeletehey gzel! the cloth thing you were talking about was supposed to be for the upcoming EM, but i think that was already ruined by the past storm and they are not planning to put it back because of the cost.
ReplyDeleteby the way, i really enjoy your pics.
