Ferris Wheel
Riding high, turn, turn, turn,
up to heaven and back to earth,
up to dream and back to reality

"The Giant Ferris Wheel was built in 1896/97 by the British engineer Walter Basset and wasn’t the only one of its kind back then: Basset built similar panorama wheels – extremely popular at the end of the 19th century – in Chicago, London, Blackpool and Paris as well."
