Description
The Seattle Great Wheel photographed last Valentines Day! I was so excited that I got a photo of the "Heart In The Wheel" Of course it is my favorite colors with the purple and fuchsia reflection on the water. I got this shot, and a second later the Wheel Lights were shut off. I think they have changed the hours of the LIGHTS of the Great Wheel this year, meaning "more hours". I was so happy to get this photo. I hope you have a wonderful Valentines' Day this year. Here is a little information on THE GREAT WHEEL OF SEATTLE.The Seattle Ferris wheel lights up Pier 57 and changed the Seattle waterfront forever. With fully heated or air conditioned gondolas and spectacular views, this Ferris wheel is a great attraction to dazzle out-of-town guests, but fun for locals, too.
Decked out in thousands of LED lights, the wheel can put on a spectacular light show. The lights have the ability to do a variety of things—swirl, flash, and other patterns, or even celebrate the team colors of the Mariners, Sonics, Seahawks, or other local teams.Facts about the Seattle Ferris Wheel
Diameter: 175 feet
Height: 200 feet
Number of gondolas: 42
Seattle Ferris Wheel Views The wheel’s gondolas are enclosed and have heating and air conditioning so that riders can enjoy this ride all year round. The views are spectacular from all sides—the Puget Sound, Seattle skyline, and mountains will all be visible on clear days. At their farthest point, the gondolas are 40 feet out over the water. The gondolas have glass-bottomed floors, too, which makes dangling out over the Puget Sound a little more exciting.

Inge, I'm glad you got the FOOTBALL shot, I couldn't get the football to show up in the picture. I mean you couldn't really tell it was a football. I look forward to seeing yours! I love Namino BC. I'm not spelling that correctly.. Thanks for stopping by Inge.
