Hmm… I cannot recall the last time I rode on a carousel… must therefore be too, too long ago. I’ll have to remedy that soon.
Beautiful photos.
see you, grache
When you arrive in L.A. head down to the Santa Monica Pier and you will find your carousel. The carousel was bulit around 1916 and refurbished in the 80’s. Have fun.
When at the pier to visit the carousel you MUST go to see the Camera Obscura, which is on Ocean Ave, a short walk across the bridge + to the left. It is the best little secret and has been decribed as The Camera Obscura guarded by the old people (go + you’ll understand).
