Ferris Wheel - Closed for business


This is the 2nd year a ferris wheel has been installed in downtown Ocala for the holidays. On a gray, rather gloomy day, we stopped to get a closer look. But, alas, it was not open for business. And except for one mother with three disappointed little kids, no one else was around. The ferris wheel operates only on the weekends, so far as we can tell.

    It looks lonely without happy people on it.

    Beautiful photo of a ride I do not go on--don't like small, high, open spaces!

    I agree with Randy, it does look a bit lonely without any people to enjoy it.

    You've captured Depression in this image. Against that sky... ya, you have.

    Neat photo. Disappointing for kids, but it almost looks a little sinister!

    This made for an awesome and somewhat eerie picture! This could ignite the imagination of a mystery writer.
