Ain Dubai is the world's biggest and tallest observation wheel located on Blue Waters Island, near the Dubai Marina in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
"Ce château privé domine le confluant de l'Ain et de la Valouse. Il aurait été édifié au 13e par Renaud de Bourgogne. Il fut un poste frontière entre Comté et le duché de Savoie."
Bluewaters Island, Dubai
This is BIG!
The world’s tallest observation wheel, at a height of 250m (820ft). It makes the London Eye look like the small wheel on a Penny Farthing.

My Dad took this photo at Geneseo in the early 80s. I scanned this from an ugly scrap print and tried to clean it up some. The more I look at it the more ugly it becomes... but it does look a helluvalot better than it did and it's a super-groovy shot. So I just gotta share it, despite the ugliness. Someday I'll get me a film scanner and have a go at scanning the negative, and hopefully come up with a really nice image...
A note to the individual who has been posting my images to usenet... if you do so in the future, please give credit where credit is due and make mention of where you found the images. Thank you...

The world’s tallest observation wheel, at a height of 250m (820ft). Couldn’t capture the entire wheel while on the island… you need a very wide-angle lens to stand a chance. It makes the London Eye look like the small wheel on a Penny Farthing.

Good to see my old friend A.B. again this year. He's back at Prairie Ridge in Raleigh, but it'll be a while before the grasses brown and his coloring works as camouflage. When the reeds and cattails are this thick, however, he's still a challenge to find.
I hope he and his local habitat survived Hurricane Matthew. This was taken a few days prior to the storm passing through Raleigh.

Another visit on a blue sky day. I had been photographing this female ovipositing for some time, when she was taken by one of the three males present. My lens was no more than 9 inches away from her when this male barges in and I am still looking through the lens!! An extraordinary and noisy event. I tracked their erratic flight and there began another quite extraordinary intermate moment, as they allowed a prolonged, very close encounter, almost nose to nose.
I very slowly crawled up to them and laid flat out with my face no more than 4 to 6 inches away while gently removing tiny bits of grass that were in the way of the lens. It was an extraordinary moment which actually lasted for around 20 minutes.
Le cerdon, ou plus précisément bugey-cerdon, est un vin mousseux rosé français produit dans le Bugey sur dix
communes autour de Cerdon, dans le département de l'Ain.
Les vignes produisant le cerdon se trouvent en France, dans la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, plus précisément dans le département de l'Ain, à 24 kilomètres au nord d'Ambérieu-en-Bugey, près de la sortie no 8 (Hauteville-Lompnès) de l'autoroute A40.
Le Bugey faisant partie du domaine plissé jurassien, le secteur de Cerdon se trouve sur une série de failles nord-est/sud-ouest formant la limite orientale de la vallée de l'Ain (hauteurs des monts d'Ain).
Les roches plus tendres facilitant l'érosion, une suite de reculées entaillent le relief (reculées de l'Albarine, de la cascade de la Fouge et de Cerdon). Les vignes sont plantées au-dessus de roches calcaires du Jurassique.

Ain Dubai is the World’s Tallest Observation Wheel. Ain Dubai has quickly become recognised as one of the Middle East’s most remarkable and iconic landmarks which has elevated the aesthetic of Dubai’s skyline. The final structure is made from more than 9,000 tonnes of steel – almost 25 percent more iron used in the construction of Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower. The central wheel rim weighs as much as 16 Airbus 380 aircrafts.
