[ I'm still having trouble. Does anyone else use iJournal --- I know, they don't, since it was last updated in like 2008 --- and can they report on connection experiences the past couple days? I'd like to know if it's me or them. ]

And this closes out my pictures of the Bug Carousel. This may be a lot of pictures, but I was pretty dilatory about getting to them, so it works out.

I'm more confident that this is a static shot, based on how much less blurry things are, but do note the Talosian Hulk on the left edge of the photograph.
Here I'm just being arty. I have a weakness for extreme camera angles; I can't help it.
I believe this was an attempt to use a flash in a partly shaded building during a fairly cloudy afternoon. I do many strange things.
Beetles. Just very, very glossy beetles.
I suspect this wasn't a flash picture after all, since the color balance looks about the same as the one above. Still, gloss.

Trivia: Charles I D Looff opened a factory to build carousels in Riverside, Rhode Island, in the 1890s. Source: Rhode Island: A History, William G McLaughlin. McLaughlin goes on to say the town got the name ``the Coney Island of New England'', although since the subject is such a tiny part of the Rhode Island Story and it's about a recreational subject I don't expect that it was as carefully vetted a topic as, say, the Dorr Rebellion was.
