Some months back I already introduced the imposing Tempozan Ferris Wheel standing between the Osaka Aquarium and a cable-stayed bridge (panorama better viewed enlarged).
Osaka, 2009
This ferris wheel stands 112.5 meters / 370 feet tall and measures 100 meters / 328 feet in diameter, making it one of the largest in the world.
I still feel a tinge of regret that we did not have the time to take the 17-minute ride to enjoy (and capture!) the view of Osaka Bay, the city and the surrounding mountains, especially since a gray rainy morning had turned into brilliant blue-skied afternoon.
Today I link with Mellow Yellow Monday. Click on the link to find more interesting takes on the theme.
beautiful places love to enjoy these two places :)

Wonderful photos, Francisca. I love the panorama. And that is a very yellow ferris wheel.

Great photos! I've been to Japan several times, but never to Osaka yet.
ReplyDeleteO what an interesting view in that first photo! And that ferris wheel is certainly huge!
ReplyDeleteI wanna come down , I don't like this. may be you were smart not to go on it.
ReplyDeleteA good fun choice for Mellow Yellow Monday.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, it s funny how so many Cities have a "Wheel" now. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteMy fear of open heights would probably have prevented me from getting on hat ferris wheels. I would have been terrified.
ReplyDeleteI'd like the view from up there, with my camera obviously.
ReplyDeletethat is too bad, I bet the view would have been nice even on a dull day.
ReplyDeleteGreat MYM - but I'll stay with my two feet on the ground ;-)
ReplyDeleteI thought the one in London is the biggest. A 17 minutes ride hmmm I can take it ^_^

The wheel looks like fun, and the sky is so blue. Perfect weather for a ride!
