The Ferris Wheel in Vienna's Prater
Looking for the Third Man


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."
