Remember the post about the giant ferris wheel? The red cloth which was prepared for the upcoming EUFA in the city (European Union Football association) however, a storm tore it apart and due to the highcost budget they decide to leave it that way (as told by my friend, Mayla).
Below, a closer view from inside the train.

  1. I think there was a famous Ferris Wheel in the movie "The third man" from Orson Welles. And if I am not mistaken this was in Vienna.

  2. My husband is terrified of ferris wheels. Once my daughter was with us and she (5 years old) tried rocking it and I thought he might cry. I don't ask him to join me anymore :)

  4. Gizelle, it's interesting that you shot the Feris Wheel with other surrounding buildings as well.
    Really gives the viewer a good gauge of how big and tall the wheel is.

  6. I love both shots, especially the first one. It gives us a perspective of how big that ferris wheel is when compared to the surrounding buildings.

  8. Gee, I'd never ride one of those. Standing on a chair is sufficient challenge for me... ;)

    Take care of that allergy of yours. I know everything about those, it's no fun at all.
