Do you like carousels?
There is a Carousel Museum in Bristol, Museum. Let me show you some photos from the museum while I am away. (Though I might interrupt the series to show a travel photo if time permits . . . )

Carousels are one of the many things that fascinate me. There is something so joyful and youthful about them. There is a store in a small town in Minnesota where carousel animals are carved that is a magical place.
ReplyDeletewhat an art.
ReplyDeleteAll of a craft!
ReplyDeleteSuch talent it takes to create one of these horses. I always love seeing the antique versions as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting place. Nice images.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new carousel in a very unusual place aboard the world's largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. I haven't seen it in person, but I've seen pictures of it. It's fantastic!
Indeed I do - like carousels, that is. Some fine craftsmanship goes into the carving.
ReplyDeleteCarousels have something to do with childhood and first great sensations!
