Description
The landmark Wiener Riesenrad can be seen for miles around. The star attraction of Vienna's Prater Park, this giant Ferris Wheel was featured in the well known movie 'The Third Man'. On the day I visited the park, it was deserted, the crowds of summer, long gone. The big wheel creaked and groaned in the wind, the vivid red compartments swaying lightly, empty of people, but filled with mystery. There's something spellbinding about a fairground in winter, an eerie calm that's out of place, a haunting silence mocked by the garish cartoon faces looming from every corner. Nostalgia hidden behind the gloom, waiting for the seasons to change and the merry-go-round to begin again. I hand blended textures with my original photograph in black and white.
