Ferris wheels

Everywhere I've had the opportunity to visit in the Middle East thus far, I see the same image; a large ferris wheel against the monochrome sky. Every time I'm reminded of a picture a friend of mine took, in black and white, of the same sight in Iowa. I suppose it's simply another symbol of the sameness of people. Everywhere you go, we are all trying to get closer to the sky, to reach the unreachable, to get away from the everyday.
