Three views of the ferris wheel at Webster Groves' Fourth of July carnival. The new ones are covered with ever-changing LEDs, not the incandescent bulbs I remember as a child. Subtle lighting changes between the second and third images.
It occurred to me that I had no idea why they call them ferris wheels. Why, after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., of course. (There was another one before him?) The first one was in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.

Great shots again. All that colors in the dark. I like it.
The LED lighting makes sense.
Yup! Knew this. One of those etymologies that comes from a person.
I like the first one with the motion best! Great night shots.
The motion one draws me right in.
I love these!
There's nothing like a ferris wheel to give that carnival feeling hey Bob.. Good to WATCH only.. Super first shot.
