Blurred carousel

This colourful fairground carousel seems to be a permanent fixture on London's South Bank. In the past several years I've photographed my wife and grand-daughter on it a few times, and, if my memory serves me well, have ridden it myself on one occasion. On the recent day that we passed by it was spinning and playing its music with no passengers at all. Perhaps the operator was showing it off in the early evening half-light to drum up some trade.

Boston incongruity

It's hard to imagine a greater incongruity than the airbrushed painting and coloured lights of a ride at Boston's May Fair and the top of the medieval tower of the church of St Botolph. However, it caught my eye and appealed to me, not least because the ornate stone lantern that tops the tower appeared to be an unlikely crown on the painted girl's head.
