Picture of the Day: Seattle’s New Ferris Wheel

Seattle's Ferris Wheel from Union Street

It’s only been up for a month, but I’ve already gotten used to our new ferris wheel. It’s become a fixture of my daily routine, and in my opinion, the aesthetics work quite well. The visual interplay of the cityscape and the amusement ride have somewhat of a synergistic appeal … not unlike Coney Island or the Chicago waterfront.

It looks like it just belongs; Like it’s been there forever. At this point, I would miss it if it weren’t there.

The wheel may begin operation as soon as this Friday.

I’ll take it for a spin within a day or two of it’s official opening.
