Merry-Go-Round

Back when I was teaching at Park Camps, we took a few field trips. Once, we went to Patterson Park, and the last trip we took was to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.

Down by the Federal Hill area is the Science Center, along with a very old-fashioned merry-go-round. It wasn't functioning when we visited, so I simply decided to snap some pictures of it while the kids were running around accumulating pictures for their assignments.

"Creepy carnival" is kind of an old trope to play with, but I think this works. I like how the arch of the circle swings upward, then is disjointed in the middle, interrupted by the galloping horse, and then continues around. It implies a much jerkier ride than what I'd imagine you'd experience on the actual merry-go-round.

As an aside, I owe a great deal of thanks to Severn Graphics for developing all my film so wonderfully. With Ruth running around all the time now, and not napping as frequently, I don't have the ability or spare time to develop film in my bathtub!
