Description
The landmark Wiener Riesenrad can be seen all over the city of Vienna, for miles around towering high above the rooftops. A popular attraction of Prater Park, this huge Ferris Wheel starred in the Hollywood movie 'The Third Man'. On the day I went to the park, it was devoid of people, the summer crowds long gone, heavy raindrops falling from the sky. The gaint wheel groaned and creaked in the wind, the bright red compartments swaying and empty. There's something fascinating about a fairground in winter, an eerie calm that's out of place, a haunting silence mocked by the watching cartoon faces looming on every corner. Nostalgia is hidden behind the gloom, lying in wait for the seasons to change and the merry-go-round to spin again. I hand blended textures with my original photograph in black and white to compliment the old world feel of this iconic Viennese scene.
