Tag: Riesenrad

Scale Is Important

I wanted to share the photo of this giant ox – I remember seeing it and thinking “It’s HUGE!” But without something to compare it to, it’s pretty meaningless. At least I think it’s an ox even though it lacks the horns.

So here is my real entry today (with people in front):

Ferris wheels are called “giant wheels” (Riesenrad) in German.

Nancy Meryll was asking for a series of photos from above and from below of the same thing for A Photo a Week.  These photos were taken in Neustadt an der Weinstraße at the festival of the wine harvest.  From the top of the ferris wheel one has a great view of the festival, the town, and the whole area.  And from below it’s a structure of metal beams.
