The Capital Wheel...Mystery Solved!!

Yesterday, we left off with a cliffhanger of sorts...
did I ride or didn't I ride??

Of course I did...almost everyone got it right.

180 feet above the Potomac River, the view is spectacular!


The wheel changes color, 
at dusk I had a lot of fun capturing the different colors and reflections.




The trip was a difficult one because of my health.
We had made these plans and reservations months ago 
so we decided to go...
I'm glad we went, but I was "glader" to be home!!

Debbie, you are so brave. I wouldn't dare go up the wheel. I would rather watch from a distance. These are gorgeous photos of the wheel. Have a happy day!
