The Balboa Fun Zone is one of Southern California's oldest and last great coastal amusement areas. It is located on the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach and since 1936, the Fun Zone's ferris wheel has been a day and night landmark on the Newport Harbor scene, beckoning all to join in the fun. The ferris wheel was completely rebuilt from the ground up in 1986.
Hubby and I spent last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and most of Monday in Southern California. I am a native Southern Californian and was very happy to get back to my home turf. It was a breath of fresh air.

I feel like I'm on the ride with you. What a exhilerating place to watch the sky from. Great capture.
No wonder we haven't heard from you. Hope you enjoyed a trip back home. Have a great weekend.
Welcome back, Erin. I am glad you had a fun time! When you come back and visit, jsut give us a heads up! Have a great weekend!
Great perspective! Love the clouds and the brilliant blue. Wonderful!
What a view! (Actually I'm too chicken to ride one of these. I'm afraid of heights.)
Oh, that is so much fun! I love the blue sky, the fun fair and then the plane - all different things you expect to see when you look up!

What colours and what a photo! A perfect shot to capture a fun and beautiful place; I'm glad you had a good time away.
Fantastic! Love the colors against the sky! Perfect shot for skywatch
I've only driven by Newport Beach, never stopped, but it looks delightful. How cool to have a permanent Ferris Wheel!
PS - Your post was listed twice, so I took one of them out. Mr Linky is still being a little cantakerous (or slow - or both).
Fascinating photo, bravo!
Have a great weekend

EXCELLENT capture! It is truly a picture that speaks a thousand (or ten thousand) words!
That was a Ferris wheel shot out of the ordinary. Looks like the plane was shot out of a seat on the wheel.
