round and round we go - trying to get that brass ring

A while ago we went to Spokane, on the other side of the Cascade Mountains in Eastern Washington  We came upon a carousel which I later found out was built in 1909 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.  It apparently has 54 horses, 1 Giraffe, 1 tiger and 2 chinese dragons.   It's here that I found out that many carousels have a brass ring that you try to catch as you go by...  this ring thing is so existentially loaded!  I didn't even try to get the ring... perhaps next time...

So it was a dark room, a slow lens, and these things were moving pretty fast.  I thought these blurry photos came out to be the most interesting.  Photos 120 to 126:
