I've always been drawn to the ferris wheel with almost a break neck curiosity as I pass it and now it makes sense as to why. The lightning around it is fun and warm, with yellow, soft glowing lights surrounding it that lead right to the front of it, as pictured here. The lights swirling up the trees give it an almost mystical appeal when you're walking towards the huge circle. It's elegant, and yet instills a sort of playful child within me when I'm walking towards it. I think somewhere inside I always understood that it was the lighting that was making me feel this way, but now I am conscious of it.
The Ferris Wheel itself has very bright and vivid colors that are very fun! I'm sure that this is not only to catch the eye of anyone passing by within a 5 mile radius, but also to make the potential customers feel like they want to experience the fun that those lights imply for themselves. The colorful lights also remind me of carnivals and fairs I've been to in the past, which also makes me want to ride it. Unfortunately, I've never actually ridden the Irvine Spectrum Ferris Wheel, but now I understand why I always want to. Haha.
Nice thoughts - I love the mix of elegance and child like wonder :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do a post on the ferris wheel too for the same reasons but decided to try to find something else ... Good thing I did! But I totally agree with you.
