From A Distance, Part Deux
7DOS, Week #50 - In The Garden, Unusual PoV Tuesday - okay, this is more gardens than garden, but I'ver resorted to an archived shot not just because of the dearth of gardens in my current location, but because I'm finding myself feeling really nostalgic for greener, milder climes and large vistas, at the moment (it being dry, sandy and hot around here) and this is definitely a qualifier for an "unusual PoV" as it's taken from the top of a ferris wheel (just over a year ago). Taken as part of a 31 Day mini-photo challenge in May 2013 . 25:31 − 31 Day Photo Challenge, From A Distance - I know it's a 31 Day Challenge, but how many times does anyone get to view a centuries-old German castle from the top of 38m tall Ferris Wheel (and be the only people on said Ferris Wheel)?!

We just went for a bit of a wonder today and lo-and-behold there was a Ferris Wheel in the grounds of the castle in our nearby town/village (who knows why) and there was no one waiting to ride it - no one on it in fact, so we took advantage of the opportunity and it was well worth it for this incredible view. It started to rain just as we finished our ride, so perfect timing.

The Flickr Lounge, Vintage - this Schloss, the Schloss Neuhaus, is a good few hundred years old and the ornate gardens seen here are just a small part of the castle's original Baroque gardens of the mid-1700s.
ODC, Launch - a massive stretch, Yvonne, but Mr Nomad actually joined LG and me on the Ferris Wheel, which is a Big First as he hates heights :-) It was definitely a launch into the void for him, so I'm really proud that he got into that little, dangling-over-fresh-air-attached-to-not-much gondola and even looked over the edge at this amazing view :-).
