Seattle’s Great Wheel opened up recently. We had to try it.
The view from the waterfront.
From right below
From the top, Seattle’s skies are amazing. I’ve been looking at Sylvia’s Seattle Skies for years and I finally got to see them for myself.

Welcome to my world
another ferris wheel .. i dont care how great they look or what terrific photo ops they are .. i will not get on one .. no way no how .. and look, see how that one tilts? OY.
Wow – wonderful shots. Especially that last one.
You are quite the world traveler. I have never been to Seattle. This looks like the London Eye with gondolas rather than open seats. Clearly an excellent view from on top. Great photos.
I’m so glad you got to see our beautiful skies and city for yourself!! They are wonderful aren’t they! Have a great weekend!
Seattle is a great place to visit. The Olympic Peninsula is one of my favorite hiking places, too.
Wow! That last image is amazing!
When the skies are blue in Seattle it’s a miracle, and exceptionally lovely.
The perspectives showing size, distance, and depth are amazing, Yogi. Great shots!
It looks like you didn’t even get rained on.
welcome back – somehow I have been unable to “see” you and I was bereft!!!!
Lovely skies but scarey wheel!
Awesome shots, and bully for you for getting on the thing!
The Ferris wheel is a marvel. I used to love the thing. Now I love it as a subject of great photos like these.
(If you have any interest in Ferris wheels, I suggest Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.)
The wheel wasn’t quite finished when we were there in May. I hope you had some good seafood while you were on the waterfront. We ate at a place right near the base of the wheel that was fantastic. I would definitely like to spend more time in Seattle.
One of my dreams is to ride a Ferris Wheel over an ocean. I came close last year on the bay in Laguna Beach. This looks wonderful!
