Ferris Wheel On The Pier at Sunset Fine Art Photography Print
I went to the Santa Monica pier in California to take some sunset shots and I was lucky to be there just at the right time. Santa Monica Beach and up the coast line is one of my favorite areas to take photos. The amusement park on the pier and the Ferris wheel lights reflection in the ocean and sand was spectacular. I was lucky to have the waves low that night, because it let the beauty of the lights shine on surf. The mixture of the sunset and the beautiful lights on the pier made an outstanding combination.
The Santa Monica pier Ferris wheel uses 160,000 energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lights that'll "provide 75 percent greater energy savings than the previous incandescent bulbs...With the adaptation of its solar-power application, the Pacific Park wheel will continue to be the world's only solar-powered Ferris wheel.
Santa Monica Pier History
The current Santa Monica Pier is actually two adjoining piers. The long and narrow City-owned Municipal Pier was built in its present location around 1908, primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers and had no amenities. The short and wide adjoining Pleasure Pier to the south was built by Charles I. D. Looff in 1916 to serve as an amusement park. The Pleasure Pier was then purchased by Walter Newcomb in 1943 and the name was changed to Newcomb Pier. The City acquired the Newcomb Pier in 1953.
