-Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 44
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photo(s) taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own photos with an up or down perspective.

I am wheely happy to be bringing you the 44th episode of this challenge.
Big Wheels have popped up in cities around the world. In my view, nothing quite rivals the London Eye, but no matter the size or location, there’s just something about them that raises my spirits.
Bottoms Up!
This one is the Manchester Wheel, which arrived in Piccadilly Gardens in late 2013, replacing a previous wheel that stood in Exchange Square.
The wheel was stationary when I saw it last week and I discovered that it had been temporarily closed a couple of weeks ago due to a serious fault with the fountains beneath it. But there was a man hard at work on it and the wheel did make a few test moves while I watched.
Not a job for me!

I love them too, Debbie. Funny, I would never go on the ‘old style’ Ferris Wheel, but ‘boxed in’, I’m fine 🙂

Yes, I need the boxed in feel too.

Great shots, Debbie. I felt a little dizzy looking up at them. 🙂 Did you while you were taking them?

This town at least has given me a few strange sights and events to share. I can’t complain about that 🙂
Thanks for the shout out!

Like your shots and interesting to note the the wheel was not operating due to a fault. Melbourne has a similar wheel which has been inactive for years due to faults.

I am roundly impressed by the angle of your last shot…. 🙂

Note, I was looking up not down – you wouldn’t get me doing that job!
