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.

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