The big wheel by ludwigsdiana

The big wheel

at the waterfront in Cape Town. The weather was ok for a change, so I decided to go for a walk from the waterfront to Mouille Point along the coast.
Lovely! We may just get an opportunity to meet up, Diana ... our daughter will be sailing into Capetown with the Clipper Race in November, so we are looking at options for coming out to meet her. The last time we were there was in 2001, when she was 8. She's very excited about this trip, and we are very nervous for her! She's been waiting over 3 years to do it, as Covid put pay to her sign-up and everything is just catching up now. Watch this space!

Love a big wheel - such wonderful views to be had!
June 26th, 2023  
A lovely view. I’m guessing it’s early morning as there’s no-one about.
June 26th, 2023  
It looks very quiet, nobody on the wheel or on the street
June 26th, 2023  
A nice shot
June 26th, 2023  
There don't seem to be many tourists around

You obviously have so many walkways around your area but you are so good at including something that is interesting and not cut its head off - like I have often done!
June 26th, 2023  
have you been on it? Must be a good view.
June 26th, 2023  
Terrific

Beautiful capture. A lovely view of the beach area. And the Big Wheel is a super attraction for the young.

I love the waterfront! My wife and I would always go there while we lived in Muizenberg. Miss all the Penguins by Simon’s Town and Fish Hoek

I love the waterfront too, we’ve stayed there a couple of times. I don’t remember this ferris wheel though
June 26th, 2023  
Marvelous capture!
June 26th, 2023  
Haha, we must be experiencing similar weather. We enjoyed a a lovely walk beside the river in Adelaide today. It was so nice not to feel cold. :)

Nice shot

There is one build here one to. You can have a dinner in top. To high for me.
Great capture of the wheel and the nice place view.
June 26th, 2023  
Nice shot of a pretty scene.
June 27th, 2023  
It looks a good place for a walk - you seem to have it pretty much to yourself too.
June 27th, 2023  
A really nice overview shot. I am surprised to see the palm trees. I don't remember seeing many of them in your other photos.
June 27th, 2023  
Super shot!
June 27th, 2023  
Very nice shot

@jamibann Oh Issi that would be wonderful, now you have me all excited too :-)
@kjarn You might then have noticed that they changed the position Kathy. Before it used to face Tablemountain, now it faces Robben Island :-)
@beryl @tinley23 @onewing @christinav as it is winter here, there are no tourists at the waterfront, I cloned a fe people out. The wheel has also only recently been put there and I suppose many prefer the old view :-)
@Dawn Thanks Dawn :-)
@maggiemae I cut off so many feet and othe body parts Maggimae, I always have to take extra shots ;-)
@pusspup I could never go on there, got a phobia about heights ;-)
@joansmor @swchappell @sangwann Thanks so much :-)
@frodob Now that's interesting Mark, are you a Safrican?
@rensala It used to be in a different position Renee ;-)

@falcon11 We have plenty of palm trees Allison, I am just so seldom in this area although it is only a thirty minute drive :-)
June 27th, 2023  
Super. fav
June 27th, 2023  
@ludwigsdiana No... American. We were there for studies before moving to Mozambique and then Zambia for two years. But we are back in the states for over 20 years now.
June 27th, 2023  
I love how they look, but you'd never get me on one! Good shot.
June 28th, 2023  
Wow fav
June 28th, 2023  
I must say, that's the most scenic ferris wheel attraction I've ever seen. Beautiful composition!
June 28th, 2023  
@briaan Thanks Brian :-)
@frodob Oh how interesting Mark :-)
@olivetreeann Same here Ann, not for all the tea in China ;-)
