I really could not decide into what category this fairground picture belongs!
It is, of course, a detail of one of the rides and comes from my archives once again. Oddly enough, this one had been set aside to celebrate a 200th upload and was then forgotten. So it will do to celebrate summer :).
And it looks as if we will have a couple of days of sunshine in a row this week -- LOL

P.S. A wider view that shows more of this hair-raising ride has been posted in the WS, especially for kross1 and anyone else who is curious :)

Tech: Captured in raw and adjusted levels, contrast & saturation in raw with PhotoShop CS2, converted to jpg, cropped slightly from top and right side, resized, sharpened, framed and signed

Thanks for looking and for all your critiques, workshops and suggestions. Have a healthy, happy, and safe week.

That is a mad perspective, which correctly manufactures the feeling of depth, it is super. Beautifully visually, very well compound. Excellent colours and amanzing picture.
Best regards.

I love these fair shots. The different colors in the sign really stand out against the blue sky. I really like the detailin this shot as well. I'm not familiar with this ride do you have a pic. of it? Nice work here Silke.

I would be on the ground taking shots,looks a bit to thrilling for my tastes. Great colours & details,pity your not getting blue skies like this one here Silke.

Hiya Silke

Another superb capture here with good sharp detail and wonderful warm summer colours. I would love to see the same shot as this at night with all those lights shining. Nice close crop and great colour saturation.

TFS regards Helen

The colours are really like a fireball. so the title suits it wl, Silke.
Think it will be nice too, when you capture this in nightscene.
