Hello all !
Last week I took my kids to a park we waited in line . I was told that this shot today is of an actually real hand carved carousal horse from the 1920's!
This particular carousal horse was the most beautiful I thought. But no one rode on him because he was on the outside and did not move up and down. He seemed to have something special or infact, magical. . There was a little lady in her 80s that took her time walking around and round looking at all the horses . The ride operator waited patiently. She finally saw this horse and said," yes you will do" just fine and petted his painted mane with wrinkled worn hands and smiled. Finally the beautiful horse had a rider. And it went round and round magically transforming her .I saw the old ladys expression like a child and suddenly she didn

What an amazing shot! You really brought out the magic of the carousel. Where I live we have a wonderful carousel that was built back in 30's. They tore down the amusement park where it had been since its brith, and moved it to preserve it's beauty and heritage. I remember riding it as a child way back in the early 60's and how wonderful it made me feel. Thank you for taking me back to some awesome memories!
