When I went to the Cleethorpes Armed Forces celebrations I had a ride on the Ferris Wheel and took a few photo's from it.
 |
| The Ferris wheel was situated adjacent to "The Point", an apartment block which can be seen on the left. |

| Gondoliers on the wheel. |
 |
| This angle is reminiscent of the "Fighting Machines" in Jeff Waynes musical interpretation of "The War of the Worlds". At least in my mind. |
 |
| From inside my gondolier I found it difficult to take photo's. The Perspex windows were a bit defused and the framework slightly obscured the views. |
 |
| This view shows the area where the entertainment stage was set up and crowds were gathering. |
 |
| Back on tera firma, another look at the wheel's structure. |

Haven't been on a Ferris wheel for many a year - so enjoyed the ride! Got to rush as our lunch is ready. Hope the weather is being kind to you. Good wishes.
ReplyDeleteBlue sky & sunny in Cleethorpes today but a chilly 10 degrees. Better than the dark, rainy day yesterday.
DeleteEnjoy your dinner Mike.
Forgot to turn anonymous off! It's very annoying
DeleteYou're a brave soul, David. I don't think I'd have the nerve to ride on a Ferris wheel, but your photos are terrific!
ReplyDeleteThank you Val, the views where great but not worth the £8 charge!
