The big ferris wheel is back
Saturday, July 11, 2009 Posted by Eric Tenin
Between the end of June and August, there is usually a small - very small - amusement park in the Jardin des Tuileries (on the Louvre side). Its main attraction is a huge Ferris Wheel, located on the Louvre side of the gardens. Last evening, on the way back from a house warming party of a friend I photographed it just at dusk. The sky was cloudy but still a little blue, it was really stunning. I'm not sure I managed to catch this scene exactly as I experienced it though.

AAaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! When we spent 9 days in Paris, we walked through the Tuileries every night - and I can happily say that this was the first Ferris Wheel that I ever rode! The view was amazing... thank you, Eric, for the memories!

Beautiful! This one needs to be Zazzled.

Eric, you certainly have a way with skies. This is gorgeous, gold against a blue background. Have you ever been on the ferris wheel?

A beautiful capture nonetheless! I was looking for the big wheel in May. Didn't realize it was a Summer thing.

I like this one!

Soooo beautiful! I officially miss Paris now....
July 11, 2009 12:55:00 AM GMT+02:00
Always beautiful sky's shots! I love the blue...

Wow! Eric has a twitter account ~ @etenin.
Warm summer nights, holding hands and... kisses.
I love the image, it reminds me of my first kiss... yep on a ferris wheel.

This is really beautiful, Eric.
Rimabirdgirl: see post for Sept. 11, 2007.

Beautiful photo, its as if the wheel is peeking from behind the trees and provides this sudden burst of light.

Ooooh, Eric! Its beautiful!! Beautiful!!!
I didn't know that there were two ferris wheels so close together during the summer. So, now I have another photo request, Eric - maybe you can find some upper floor location where you can capture both in one shot. That would be a both a beautiful and very unusual shot of Paris.

I'm assuming the other ferris wheel is still up in the Place de la Concorde - do they have that one running, too?

On another topic, I just want to say that I've been checking in on Amir's site and there has been no further word. Of course, he may need to stay silent. I just hope that he won't be forgotten.

Not that anyone will care about the truth, but here's a link about that photo someone so *helpfully* lined to yesterday.

Aahh! Lovely. I'd like to be right at the very top on the Ferris wheel, looking down on the Jardin.

Now, see, Eric—this would make a fantastic Skywatch Friday shot. Truly beautiful! My kids rode this ferris wheel and got the amazing view. I love roller coasters and other crazy rides, but seem to have a problem with ferris wheels—so I definitely prefer your "Tenin angle." Thanks!
Mammie -- congrats, GF.
Monica -- I'm ALWAYS missing Paris. Are you sharing pix of your trip?
Eric -- was the housewarming party for your friend who lived in the 17th and had to move from his 7th-floor apartment?

Magical photo! Makes me nostalgic for summer nights long ago...
July 11, 2009 6:43:00 AM GMT+02:00
what a gorgeous shot Eric, I love the color of the Ferris wheel against the evening sky.
Ferris wheels are about the only "ride" I don't get sick on. I always love the view at the top and I bet the view from this one is exquisite.

It may not be what you saw, but it's gorgeous nonetheless.
By the way, Carrie, Amir is on Facebook. He's been posting and adding friends. I think he's doing okay.

Great shot!!! I can't say I'm a big fan of that thing, but you sure got a really, really nice shot! Well done!
Zazzle?

Hi Velia ;)
This is a fab photo Eric. I recently posted a ferris wheel and I must say I'm too scared to go on it lol. Love the night shot. Beautiful.

Petrea - thanks very much - as you may recall, I'd wondered in my post several weeks ago whether anyone had any news from him.
July 11, 2009 3:22:00 PM GMT+02:00
wow...really beautiful...

This one has my attention. Wonderful light against that textured sky.
July 11, 2009 4:49:00 PM GMT+02:00
Very beautiful...I love riding on Ferris Wheels and looking out over the crowds of people below.
July 11, 2009 6:20:00 PM GMT+02:00
Sweet picture! I got to see it on one of my times in Paris. But that was before I knew my way around so I didn't actually remember where it was located. Thanks for reminding me for next time! :-)
July 11, 2009 7:03:00 PM GMT+02:00
Great and well caught. I do appreciate :)
@ Eric : encorse des vacances?
After NZ and Australia, where are you planning to go this time ?
July 11, 2009 10:02:00 PM GMT+02:00
absolutely gorgeous! I love that ferris wheel in the summer
July 11, 2009 10:57:00 PM GMT+02:00
Beautiful. I love the composition.
July 12, 2009 3:45:00 AM GMT+02:00
The wheel in the sky keeps on turning...
What a JOURNEY it has been. ;-)
July 12, 2009 4:36:00 AM GMT+02:00
Beautiful.
July 22, 2009 11:54:00 AM GMT+02:00
That is one breathtaking shot! One of my favorites of yours, ever.
