festive season
it seems to be a season of festivity...although in our street its been rather an all night vigil as we awoke one morning last week to find every car door in our street not just unlocked but left opened, & the thieves came back a few nights later
so an outing to the Ekka was a welcome delight...the whizz of spinning rides, the cheerful glow of flourescent lights, the gleeful screams of elated children,
& it was nice to see some Aussie flags waving in the breeze...
twirling above the cares of the world, a bright vision against the jet black sky...
"And then we sat, on the edge of the earth, feet dangling over the side- and marvelled that we had found each other."
- Erik Dillard
found quite a fondness for the penguins...
& a visual cacophony of tangible bliss...
games with prizes if you're skilled{which i am not, but luckily my brothers are!}
just enjoying the loveliness
of swinging high up
& the undisturbed carousel which seemed to emit the quiet hush of children's slumber...
& though we thought all the animals asleep, we caught a glimpse of a prized Illawarra from Oakie having a drink before bedtime
& snapped a shot of a couple of black & white beauties, before walking to the car...
Today i sigh contendedly...with gentle thoughts for you!!!

Great photos! I love the fair!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping there wasn't too much taken out of the cars. And the fair- it looks like so much fun. What beautiful, motion filled photos.
