Description
The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. So the Ferris Wheel is a fitting icon for Chicago's Navy Pier, but I also wanted to give homage to the Ferris Wheel through time by giving the photo a nostalgic look.

I love your processing on this awesome capture, Mary...I don't like heights and never liked it when these things stop leaving me at the top...f/l

I get nervous too… that’s why the photo is from the ground looking up! Thank you, Karen,
