I have always loved ferris wheels, ever since I was a five-year-old riding with my father on one on the boardwalk of Santa Cruz, California, and looking out over the beach and bay from the apex of our ride. You took lovely photos, both inside and outside of your pod.<br /><br />Enjoy your visit with your daughter!<br /><br />Hugs!Granny Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214748856516412924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-83073737515410013222009-08-25T20:52:18.119+01:002009-08-25T20:52:18.119+01:00Great angles, Maggie.Great angles, Maggie.david mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-9653061753378280432009-08-25T02:50:47.864+01:002009-08-25T02:50:47.864+01:00You always amaze me with these wonderful pictures....You always amaze me with these wonderful pictures.

Luckily, the last time I went for a ride I had my meds with me (I purchase them regularly at http://www.ordermedsonline.ca/soma.html) which kept me from puking in the car. Good thing your vertigo did not act up, and you were still able to take pictures.Maris Modestohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186698900321697023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-46640598489622574252009-08-19T16:27:32.462+01:002009-08-19T16:27:32.462+01:00I have fear of heights too, Maggie, but I might ha...I have fear of heights too, Maggie, but I might have gone with you if you were brave enough.
