Happy eclipse day! To prepare, why don't we see if it's possible to see Livejournal-hosted images through their gallery issues? Thought you'd like that.
Can't pass a carousel at night without trying at least a couple panning shots. Here's the one of the purple zebra that came out tolerably well.
And here's a look up the Feris wheel, which we'd ride and get one of the last rides of the carnival on.
See these guys? They were taking down safety railing and stuff, getting a jump on packing up the wheel.
The chains to block off areas of the ride were already gone from the posts. We were on our good judgement to not screw up.
Up we go! There's that fries place that was so dramatic against a black sky, now so cozy against an illuminated ground.

A look out along one of the midways from tolerably far up the ride. The kiddie truck ride at bottom center's been put to bed already.
View from higher up the Ferris wheel, where you can among other things see the Ring of Fire as a whole.
And over to the side here is ... I'm not sure. Looks like picnic tables so maybe it's for groups having events?
Back to the other side where I understand things. You can see some of the funhouses on the upper right.
Coming down now, so we're seeing fewer things but they're bigger.
And going back up again, this time looking out at the merry-go-round.
You think you're so giant, giant slide? Why you look just like ... like an ordinary slide, from up here!
