Photo Hunt; Music

Posted on November 14, 2009 by archiearchive FCD

I love most forms of music yet there is one which always brings back the past.

Childhood and simpler times were highlighted by the calliope music of the roundabout.

The Royal Agricultural Show and the Perth Zoo were two of the places where a childhood visit always included, to the strident strains of roundabout music, a laughing, carefree journey on one of these galloping horses.

    Now that is a different take on this theme but I love it. The music always streams out from the merry go round and it is a huge part of its charm.

    Happy weekend to you.

    There’s something about a carousel, isn’t there? Remember pretending I was a real horse on them when I was a kid. ;b

    Great pic. We live in L.A., not far from the Griffith Park merry-go-round. Of course, being a cat, I have never seen it. But my human says this is the first photo hunt picture today that she actually heard.

    The lights, colours, subject – all very exciting. In fact I’m feeling a bit dizzy having gone round and round on the merry-go-round several times. ;-)

    GOOD one!

    Ah, such wonderful memories! How can anyone possibly not love the music from the calliope?!

    I like your choice. I had no carousel or calliope to experience when I was young. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love them!

    Mine is a little more subdued. http://healingmagichands.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/photohunt-music/

    Carousel, roundabout … we used to call them merry-go-rounds. Somehow that name says it all …

    Carousels look nice, but they give me a headache. Does your play it’s a small world?

    A & P shows are nice.
