Ferris wheels are literally called “giant wheels” in German. FOWC with Fandango: Huge
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.

From the Bottom
If you are my size you photograph many things from the bottom. Best to embrace this quality!

Up on the wheel
A ferris wheel, that is.

Round and round it goes
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.

Decisions, decisions

I can’t describe just how I feel …
… when I go round on a Ferris wheel (poem by Ava Courtney).
Looking out from the top of Neustadt an der Weinstraße towards the Pfälzer Wald (Palatinate Forest) in southwest Germany.
And looking down.
And looking over to the station, past some more adventurous revellers.
