Heads in the Clouds

Here I am in the children's playground finding something to shoot now that I'm home and have to think about what to photograph! In another attempt to get a photo, I climbed on to the merry-go-round underneath this horsey structure and a lady pushed me round fast for a blurred shot. All I got was some very amused looks from other parents and quite dizzy!

Three good things:
1. Got the lawns done, 2 loads of washing, some weeds pulled and really looking forward to some vacuuming now! Hmm!
2. I lie!
3. People talking to each other in the street!
there is something quite intriguing about this shot... wonderfully whimsical and just a smidgeon fantastical... very nicely done :)

Wow what an atmospheric shot! This looks like a fairground with these fantastic models!

@pamknowler - they aren't models, Pam - bigger than life size, well actually giant size! Hard to get the proportion obvious here!

How utterly surreal. Two giant horses heads. A man riding what appears to be a Penny-farthing. I really should take some medication...

This is so sweet and I love it in b&w.

Your "looking forward to vacuuming" comment really made me laugh, and your "I lie" comment was hilarious!

@kaesebiscuit Oamaru is somewhat surreal, Mr B! It has penguins and steam punk!

fantastic capture of a what has to be a fun children's playground.

This is a really interesting shot- makes you look twice to see if it's a reflection. Very Alice in Wonderland.
