Description
On a visit to Vienna's Prater Park, most people want to see the Wiener Riesenrad, the big wheel featured in the movie 'The Third Man'. After photographing this Viennese landmark, I took a walk farther into the park, it was almost deserted in the out of season late afternoon and I was fortunate to have the place almost to myself. Rides closed for winter creaked eerily as I passed them by. Garishly painted cartoon character eyes seemed to watch me as I moved around. Carriages swaying in the breeze sat empty of people. Eventually I arrived beside this huge lesser known Ferris Wheel. It towered over me casting long shadows in the watery sunlight and I felt very small standing next to it. I was sure I could hear laughter carried in the wind as it waited patiently for summer. I blended a little texture with my original photograph in black and white to compliment the nostalgic feel of this classic Viennese image.
