I really like this block of stamps featuring a ferris wheel. So how about adding to this topic pics of stamps featuring things that go around, and around . . . Feel free to make them as "punny" as you would like!

Bonus to anyone who can show me another stamp with a ferris wheel - I can't think of any others at the moment

How about this US stamp (Scott 3182e)? While a ferris wheel may not the central theme of the stamp, the image is still there in the background!

The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round,
round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
all through the town.

I like those sneaky ferris wheels you are finding! That's pretty sharp to remember those.

Good one!

Back to the Ferris Wheel, here's a series that fits the topic:



Stamp #1 has a Merry-go-Round or Carousel that fits the "go around" topic; Stamp #2 has a Ferris Wheel in the background; Stamp #3 has a round target; Stamp #4 has ?? ... maybe you can call some of that fruit round ??

OK, not a stamp or anything like that but how about a little history on the Ferris Wheel?

This link gives the history of the wheel and how it came to be.
It happened at the 1893 Colombian Exposition in Chicago.
