another type of fair



this one is such hard exercise for a camera, at dusk & without a tripod. all those lights & yellowish neons.




as a child i loved merry-go-rounds and my grandfather, who worked for the townhall at that time, had almost unlimited free tickets to go... later as a teen i would ride on bumper cars till my legs went purple with bruises... today although i still have a sort of fascination for ferris wheels,  it is strange that i have no interest in going anymore. just enjoying watching L. but they say everything has a season... it must be true.



no access to my mail account & flickr tonight, so off to bed. niina reminded me that i didn't show any photo of ireland (sounds like ages ago !) i'll pick a few to post here on tuesday... have a lovely week x

    These are such beautiful photos. You've evoked all the magic of my childhood memories and none of the tawdriness that I so often notice now I am an adult.

    Eh bien voilà. Je n'aime pas les fêtes, mais là, j'avoue, tes photos sont si belles, que je croquerais volontiers un chichi et quelques bonbons après un tour de grande roue ;)
