Our first carousel. We plan to go to at least two more, one being a museum.
Charlie679:
Watching from the entrance.
Charlie679:
Taking autofocus pics of a moving carousel doesn't work well.
Charlie679:
Lead horse for this merry-go-round

Charlie679:
The first horse we rode had nowhere for Pamela to sit.

Can you imagine having 12 of these standing horses in your living room for 5 years?
Charlie679:
Another view of the second horse (center). He looks a little skittish!
Charlie679:
This is the second horse we rode on.
Charlie679:
Pamela loved riding here. I only kept hold of her skirt in case of accidents.
Charlie679:
Take it off! Take it off!
Charlie679:
Pamela thought this would be a fun horse to ride, but we were out of tickets.

Sign says, Please do not ride on this horse. Pamela did anyway.

Second carousel: New England Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT
Charlie679:
There is a tour guide who explains what each type of horse posture is called, as well as who carved them.
Charlie679:
The plain side (on the right) is the Apprentice side. No fancy carving required.
Charlie679:
The black horse is a leaping stargazer because he's looking up.
Charlie679:
The elaborately carved side, which faces out, is called the Romance Side. The master carver works on this side.
