Swing Tower

This is another image from the 2010 Canadian National Exhibition or the "Ex". There is something kind of surreal about these people gliding through the air at twilight. I really love this time of day, and how this almost silhouette creates a graphic image.

Crazy Mouse II

I went to the midway at the "Ex" again this year, and I couldn't resist photographing the "Crazy Mouse" ride. Of course I would never actually go on this or most of the rides being a class A chicken. I did sample the cuisine of course. This year it was a corn dog (foot long which I couldn't finish), Tiny Tom's donuts and an ice cream cone. Perfection!

I really love the graphic elements of the rides and how they can be isolated against the fabulous blue of the sky, and just a bit of cloud for some texture.
