Carnivale 4: Mardi Gras!

This is the last of the carnival pics and we're going out on a color explosion!

The fun house had a Mardi Gras theme and this is half of the mural that was painted on it:


That blonde is loving life. (Any of my digital image savvy friends: please don't look too closely at the above photo. I just didn't have the patience or the battery life to do it the right way.) Here let me distract you with a closer look at our buxom Mardi Gras queen:




Of course there was a carousel, and I took a traditional picture of the horse's head that's very nice and stuff, but I find this one more interesting.




I took several pictures of the quiet bumper cars, but because of the drastic difference in the shadowy bumper car haven and the blazing, sunny sky, they will need a lot of work to make them presentable. Work that I don't feel like doing right now. This, however, is the back of the bumper car truck. Everything folds up behind this to drive off to the next town. I wonder who engineers these things.



So that was the Havre-du-Grace carnival. I'm not sure yet what I'll have for you tomorrow. There may be some very appetizing peppers, or perhaps a dead fish on the beach. Or something completely different. I'll let you know tomorrow.


P.S. I did most of this post in a rather dim bar, so I hope the pictures turn out okay. I'll check on them and adjust tomorrow if I need to.
