Tent and light

 

 

In the evening at the carnival, after sunset, one can enjoy the playful curves and shadows of light on the main tent.

 

 

Zipping around

 

...around and around and around...

The "Zipper" carnival ride , in action.  Not  only does the ride go around, but so do the passenger seats.  Whew!

 

n.b. there is some relaxed view 3d stereogram effect in these photos, but only with the stationary objects in the photos.

Zipping by

 

 

The "Zipper" ride in action attracts the attention of the carnival attendees.

 

 

Waiting for a player

Come on and play - roll a winner!

This "roll a ball" game at the carnival awaits the next round of competitors.

 

Lull in game

 

Step up and squirt

 

This carnival game, where players squirt water at a target for a chance to win a stuffed animal, gets a brief break between plays.

 

 

Laughing clowns

 

At the balloon races

 

Meet three of the clowns at the The Balloon Water Race.  This one had just three types of clown heads; different paint schemes make them look different.

 

 

I spin for you

 

Curbside at the carnival

 

Seated in the shade, these carnivaleers do not seem to notice the behemoth Round Up ride performing in front of them.

 

 

 

Cotton Candy and Sno Cones

SNO CONES - COTTON CANDY

Unusual choices of kerning, tracking, fonts, and colors make this refreshment stand sign an attention grabber; it also adds to the slightly unreal feeling of being at the fair.

 

Shooting at the stars

Air powered "Combat" model

Two targets

This carnival game was originally invented in 1939.  Even with a load of 100 BBs, shooting out the red star is not easy.
