Sky Watch Friday

On my way to work, this week, I spotted this idle ferris wheel. It was a rainy day and the carnival was shut down, until the rain was over. When I stopped to snap a photo, the sun broke thru, just enouh to make the spokes look a little golden. To visit other participants, go to SkyWatch Friday.

  1. This is very, very nice, Jan! You've found a way to use the grey sky as the perfect foil for the colourful Ferris wheel!

    good capture.

  13. The grey sky does make a good background for the colourful Ferris wheel! And the golden light on the spokes adds to the whole image!

  14. I love Ferris wheels. the seats look upside down. They don't stay like that do they? Or is that part of the ride?
