The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The term Ferris wheel later came to be used generically for all such structures, and Ferris wheels are now the most common type of carnival ride at state fairs in the United States.
Numerous photographers have taken long exposure photographs of Ferris wheels from all over the world. The lights of the Ferris Wheels blend and blur, creating brilliant patterns and beautiful photos.
