      Thanks Alessandro. It’s actually a ‘thrill’ ride. Two people are strapped up and lifted from the dock in the lower right corner, facing down on their stomachs, to the pole that is in the distance. They’re hoisted until their feet touch the farthest pole, and then they’re released, swinging back and forth. Fairly crazy, but probably a good way to overcome a fear of heights. 🙂

    Beautiful. A classical composition on a modern sight. Love it.

      Yours and mine both. After the photo two people actually bought tickets and rode it. That poor woman screamed the whole way and her husband (or boyfriend) was laughing the whole way.

    I like the way the scene becomes more and more minimalist as it goes from bottom to top.
