    Greg/SmartWombat:

    It was a nice night at the county fair. Thanks for leaving your thoughts. I didn't want to take things tooo farrrrr by saying Christmas decorations, but you are correct; Target has an entire aisle of singing Santa's, paper, tinsel...., what a way to ruin the holidays.

    Thanks again,

    The answer is to not go into stores that have those displays.

    BTW nice night scene.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    CF - I like the amazements, but somehow the folks at the bottom don't live up to the rest of the shot. Maybe it is because they generally have their back's to the camera.

    GB,

    You know, I have looked at this picture a hundred times and never thought about it that way. We were all standing in line to cheat death on the swinging chair ride. Good catch!
    Naz: Glad you like it. Thanks.

    Re: Where Did The Summer Go?

    Excellent picture. If it is a crop, you may try to leave a slightly wider left margin. The giant wheel looks slightly caged in, doesn't it? This is from a learning amateur, so I might be wrong...

    Class A:

    Thanks very much for leaving me a comment. No crop on this shot as immediately off left edge was the corner of a fastfood trailer in the foreground. I tried to move a few steps to my right to avoid it all but that changed the perspective of the shot that I wanted, which is what we have here. I get what you are saying, but sometimes in such chaotic conditions we work with what we are given. Thanks again.

    Hi Coastal Flyer,

    I fully appreciate your restrictions on the shot. I prefer not seeing (a part of) the fastfood trailer. The image has a distinct clean look, which does a lot for me.
    Thanks for the picture.
