This past weekend I attended the nearby fair that was almost in my backyard. Actually you could hear the stage music from my yard. I have loved carousels since I was a little girl when I would ride and ride and ride. Walking through the carnival I spotted these lovely bright horses. Their red trim made them perfect for Ruby Tuesday and the now departed Project Black.The last night of the fair I was leaving a truck pull (more to come on those) and I saw the lights of the ferris wheel. I knew my camera could not really pick up the image well since I was over the length of a football field away; but I snapped anyway. These are not good images by any means; but the abstract look of both of them appealed to me and so I like them and present them in that respect.
Here's hoping dear readers that your day goes round and round with nothing but joy!
George, I hope you're reading this today because this one's for you!

I love all of these. That last one is really wonderful, but I love the middle one too... and the first close-up of the carousel horse.
Actually, what I am listening to is the Star Trek TNG theme from the neighbor's TV set. He must have bought a season disc because I've been hearing it for HOURS.
I like the carousel pics, bright and gawdy -- just like the carnival.
That pic of the horse is amazing! I love it!!! Very very pretty!!!
Well the ferris wheel pictures may not be sharp but the colors are great.
another amazing capture carletta
have a nice day!!!
My favorite is the carousel horses. It's an excellent shot. Happy Ruby Tuesday.
I love your abstract perspectives. Quite stunning!
Love that horse. Reserve that one for my daughter, OK? Looks like you had great fun at the fair.
I liked your "About Me", especially the 'artistic journey'. Sounds good, take me along.
The horse picture is really neat.
I used to love any event that feature rides. I think I rode every ride ever invented until my adult life intervened. Now, I'm watching my children and grandchildren enjoy them. Once the grandkids get older, Pappy may take them on some of the rougher ones. I think they might do more good than a chiropractor. Pappy
I like the horse. I love horses and dogs so anything with a horse is my favorite.
I love that carousel horse, I've always had a thing with those!
Yea... boy... MOVING lights in the dark -- photographers biggest challenge ever! But they are interesting! Unfortunately, that was how the ones that I TRIED to get of Luz on her BIG beautiful ferris wheel turned out too! I tried every setting I had but to no avail! LOL!
I am a carousel fan too! Back in the day when they had the carousel on the Virginia side of Great Falls, I could go over there and ride all day long - just kept catching that golden ring!!!
Carletta: Very cool captures today.
George just got off a carousel, were you with him in spirit? LOL
These were great shots and I love the horsey best :)
and you have music to go with the images!!
I love carousels too, especially the old ones with all the intricate work and amazing design
I love your abstract shots too, I've been on this kick lately to make photos look like paintings
I like the carosuel too! Love your pictures from the fair and good choice of music.

I just love the beautifully painted horse. I just love carousels!!
i've never been too fond of fairs but i love the horse - beautiful detail there, and those light efects are spectacular.
great color splashs
I like your fair pics!
The blurry shots are dramatic of course, but the stylish red saddle on the horse is the definitive red here...
The horses of the carousel are so beautiful and great for the Ruby Tuesday post! I love your shots of the ferris wheel - they do look like abstract shots. Happy RT, CArletta!
I like the images of the ferris wheel, too!
LOVE the horse. The photos of the Ferris wheel are very interesting. I like how the lights turned out.
Thanks Carletta. We will ride her out where ever she decides to come in. Should be tomorrow about noon. We'll let you know. Pappy
Isn't the fair great?! Love the horses.
This is a great series... project black as proved to be anything but dull.
Perfect song for your Ruby Tuesday shots! :D

The fair! Fun. :D
Thanks for visiting me at A Cook's Bounty.
I love the horse!!!! How exciting it was as a child to ride on the merry -go-round! And when writing these words I am thinking what a delightful name for a joyous ride.
