Unless Mr Tenin is a disabled person who is 'koala'd' the fact that most comments avoid commentary on the actual image is itself a criticism but one which unlike mine will do nothing to get him to lift his game...which he should be proud to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-50614663221697298022014-11-10T19:16:26.704+01:002014-11-10T19:16:26.704+01:00A different—and great—view of the Big Wheel.

As I've noted before, the first Ferris Wheel was created for the Chicago World's Fair a few years after the Eiffel Tower was erected for the Paris World's Fair. Chicago wanted something spectacular to "out-Eiffel Eiffel" and they chose Mr. Ferris' new invention. It had gondolas the size of railroad cars that held many people. On a different note, we expect 6 to 12 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow here. I would not want to be up on a Ferris Wheel in that! -JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-85250339546949475412014-11-10T00:20:14.785+01:002014-11-10T00:20:14.785+01:00I certainly wouldn't have a problem with the h...I certainly wouldn't have a problem with the heights!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.com
