Photo of the Day: May 30, 2007

This is one of those photos that pops up on the DCist photostream and screams, "Pick me! Pick me!" Or maybe it squealed and giggled, with the voices of all the little children whirring around at light speed. Flickr user epmd went out to Glen Echo Park to take this amusing photo at the Merry-Go-Round. EXIF.

Thanks for the POTD nod today. I have to say thanks to the railing outside of the merry-go-round for being there and allowing me to hold my camera steady, cuz I didn't think to bring my tripod for daylight shooting.
awesome shot. i've only ever been to glen echo for the friday night contra dance, and i wasn't sure the carousel was still working. i'll need to head up there during daylight hours sometime.
So the kid who went flying off that merry-go-round, he's okay, right? Or did he suffer permanent brain damage? Not that you could really tell, given kids nowdays.
If only it really went that fast...
Great shot, epmd.
Carousel? I thought that was a photo of the new NASA astronaut training facility.
It's making me dizzy! Good job!
The thought of it going that fast makes me want to hurl. I can barely get on with my kids when it's going at regular speed. Great pic though!
