One of the attractions of Bordeaux is the Miroir d’Eau. It makes an interesting sight when the water spray creates a misty cloud, and a perfect mirror when the spray dies down. Add to that a fairground, just beyond, and you have to go for a walk at night. Daytime reflections also work, but you will have to wait for that image…
Horses stride on poles.
Victorian favourite
For the modern age.
The grounds of Wollaton Park play home to several events each year. These can range from veteran car rallies, music festivals, and a pop up cinema through to an old-fashioned fairground. The carousel remains an eternal favourite.
Chaotic and loud,
All the fun of the fairground.
Laughter guaranteed,
An annual event in Nottingham, Goose Fair is one of the largest travelling fairs in Europe, second only to Hull apparently. Over three days it attracts around half a million visitors to around 350 rides at a site just outside the city centre. As an event I am not so enthusiastic, but photographically it can be rewarding.
