A Ride on the Big Wheel
Come fly with me! We're going up in the big wheel to see Menton from the air.
A couple of years ago we had a bigger and therefore higher wheel in Menton. This one is a replica of an ancient wheel and is only 20 metres high.
It costs 2.5 euros for four rotations and we've got a whole section to ourselves as there aren't many people wanting to ride today. Go on - get in - off we go...
Fantastic shot! Love the angle and framing too. Almost a detail photo, well done!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Your angle was just right. I don't have my glasses on and thought it cost 25 euros!! Thought that seemed a little pricey even for this beauty-ha
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic! I'd love to try the wheel!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat ferris wheel shot and I love the painted decor on it. I liked riding the double ferris wheels. BTW, my Mom from Mesa Arizona loves your Rivera Dogs website. We hear about it regularly. I like all of your unique people shots on your websites.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty pastel colors they have painted it!
ReplyDeleteOh boy. I like this shot. Fairground rides make great subjects.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be nice to see some views of your city from the big wheel.
ReplyDeleteEspecialy the top one is wonderful with its bright colours. Great angle. I'd love to go for a ride and enjoy the view you show us in the other one.
ReplyDeleteWhat glorious colours but as I have no head for heights, I'm sorry, Jilly, but you'll have to count me out!

Wow beautiful. I love ferris wheel. Would love to ride in it with the amazing view of the mountain in the background. I rememebered my last trip to Hongkong, my family and I went up to Ocean Park where we took the ferris wheel, it was fantastic, the winter wind and the beautiful view of the ocean and mountain was so amazing. I still have fond memories of it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous wheel, even if it is not as tall as the previous one. And a great vantage point for photographs!
