Carrousel XIII - Place Prosper Goubaux


This previously unnamed (by me) carrousel was closed for repairs in April.  I arrived there to capture a warm weather scene of riders, but found it covered.  The workmen said "non" when I asked to photograph inside, but at least I found the name for this merry-go-round, "Les Anges Volants."  Oh, I will show you the forbidden photos another time.

If you have been reading my blog for a time, you know how I seek out carousels.  I am linking today to Alexa's The Road is Mine as she has a fabulous carousel which has an amazing story of rescue and restoration.

Driving Miss Daisy -- Carrousel Reflections



The rainy, very cold December day found these two ladies out on a jaunt, taking a spin on the carrousel (which, for the record, is rotating counter-clockwise)...
