Menagerie on the high plains: On a recent trip to the high plains we were able to stop in at the Burlington Colorado fair grounds to visit the restored carousel on the grounds.

Enjoyed viewing these images!
They are a little tough to photograph when inside an enclosure.

Thanks for sharing these photos. One doesn't often see subjects such as these. You may want to adjust the temperature of the photos so that the background walls appear whiter. Such an adjustment will make the colors pop.

Great documentation!

Montana shooters: I have a favor to ask. If anyone is near Butte, Mt., I understand that another carousel is being restored. I"d really like to see some good shots of the work being done. I don't know who you'd contact for that, though.

Beautiful shots of that gorgeous carousel, recalcitrant1! I love how you got close ups of the "animals" on the carousel!
