Fun ways to get dizzy

New York City has its share of carousels:  Bryant Park, DUMBO, Coney Island, the Bronx Zoo and Central Park

On a recent Saturday under a clear blue sky, we found the Central Park carousel tucked away in a corner of the park.  The music was playing and horses were galloping. Here are some photos. 
The current carousel dates from 1908 and was relocated from Coney Island after the prior carousel was destroyed in a 1950 fire.  No smoking please.

One of the carousel riders taking a photo.  The rider must be experienced:  riding without holding the reins while taking a photo.  The rider has skills.

Some random hottie on the carousel waving to everyone




Good times.
