This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, I am back at the Whaling City Festival following on from this post which was mainly focused on food stalls, this post focuses on the rides

Starting with this shot from the field in Buttonwood park looking at the fair, I had planned to go and get some night shot long exposures which I thought would have bene cool, but I found out this fair closes before dark, apparently because of some incidents at night in previous times the fair took place, so your stuck with more early morning shots before the fair opens

Off course I couldn't resist a shot looking up at the Ferris wheel, trying to remember the last time I rode a Ferris Wheel I think it was the EYE in London many years ago
