I love carousel ponies, there is something whimsical and romantic about the rides, maybe it comes from the movies I have seen, maybe it is the stories I have read. These two ponies were off the ride, laying in the repair shop waiting for some tender loving care.
In Calgary we can find an old fashion Carousel ride at Heritage Park, Calaway Park and Chinook Center, and if you visit the National Carousel Association site you can see a map showing all the carousel’s in North America, just in case you are outside the Calgary Area.

I agree, there is always something slightly whimsical and nostalgic about these carousel horses…
I agree too. and that’s a great picture.
