St. Joseph, Missouri. Alas, the motel no longer exists; word has it that "the motel was demolished in 2006 for a shopping center. The sign was saved, restored, and installed in 2008 [near] the Pony Express Museum" in St. Joseph, where the Pony Express began.

Lamar, Colorado. 111 pictures in 2011 : holiday/vacation, #15.

South Hadley, Massachusetts. Mt. Holyoke College equestrian center. Made me think of e.e. cummings, "how do you like your blueeyed boy."

Holyoke, Massachusetts. Formerly at the now-defunct Mountain Park Amusement Park, "as one of fewer than 60 remaining full-size wooden carousels, this classic 1929 Philidelphia Toboggan Company Carousel #80 represents the lost folk art of hand-carved wooden horses. It features 48 horses, 2 chariots, over 800 brilliant lights, and an 'artisan band organ.'" Shot during an expedition with Trailerfullofpix , this is the only photo of mine that worked: carousel at rest. Fun to experiment with carousel in motion, including a dizzying attempt to shoot astride one of the impressive antique steeds, when, of course, my camera batteries ran out of juice, and even my back-ups (installed during purgatorial whirl) were non-functional.
