Description
Wiener Riesenrad can be seen for miles around the city of Vienna, towering high above the rooftops. A popular attraction of Prater Park, this huge Ferris Wheel featured in the Hollywood movie 'The Third Man'. When I went to the park, it was devoid of people, crowds of summer long gone, heavy raindrops falling from the sky. The gaint wheel creaked and groaned 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 selective color to compliment the old world feel of this iconic Viennese scene.
