I saw the big wheel at the otherside of the park and knew right away I wanted to ride it to the top and take pictures from the sky. I held my camera tight and started to run to my destination of inspiration. After two feet, I was hot, tired and gasping for breath.
A couple hours later, I was able to finish my journey to the great wheel and stood in line giddy with anticipation of the shots I would get at the top. I took a couple of shots from the ground, three to be exact, to make sure I had the settings on the camera the way I wanted them. I heard a voice say 'Watch Your Step Please' so I looked down as I went to enter the gondola and smacked my head on the top of the door. The same voice sounded again and asked if I was alright. I nodded through the stars orbiting my head.
A different voice from behind me piped in with 'Didn't you see the sign that said Lower Your Head?" I turned and saw a six year old girl staring at me indignantly as she texted on her phone with one hand, read a map with the other hand and was tap dancing all while chewing gum at the same time. I rolled my eyes at her and said, Of course not, silly. How could I? The signs up high and I was watching my feet like the nice lady told me to do, so Thpppppptttttttttt!!!!!
That's when the big brute of a dad looked down at me asked if I just stuck my tongue out at his daughter. It's also why this photo is NOT from the top of the big wheel in the sky.
