Are you dizzy yet?



I wonder if you lean way out from the edge 
while holding on and then look up...?

    I liiiiikkkkeeee it, Genie. That's a great shot! There is a place in Nice you HAVE to go to when you visit: "La Rotonde", the lovely bistro inside the Negresco hotel. It is decorated like a carrousel; same colors as on your photo; des chevaux de bois, and music playing in the background. You will love it! Veronique

    I'd be willing to try, but I'd have to keep a very firm grip! This perspective is lovely, Genie...

    Reminds me on my childhood! Yes, we were leaning way out and most of the time I felt quite dizzy.....

    Beautiful image!

    Another beautiful shot. I would never have done that. Whenever I rode the carousel at our local fair, I held on tight!

    Genie,

    This carrousel is gorgeous. Just look at all that artistry! So many beautiful colors.

    I don't think I could lean way out from the edge and look up without fearing I might fall!! LOL

    At the moment I can only think about Paris Paul with his blonde hair flying in the wind... pretty funny sight!

    Malyss, dreaming? You really are a princess.

    Welcome, Helen!

    Wonderful comments and so glad that you liked this carrousel. It is hard for me to see even a photo of a carrousel without smiling.

    I will be searching out some new ones in Paris in a few weeks. Also, I know there is one in Dijon and probably Beaune... always on patrol (churches, carrousels, and patisseries) The list is long!

    Bises,
    Genie
