Carousel Horse (Central Park NYC, August 2009)
The animals on carousels are in constant motion, of course, even when they aren't moving. This horse and this ride, in New York City's Central Park, gave my daughter a happy ride shortly before I took this picture, and I was struck by the tireless leaps, the flowing mane, and the reaching legs -- even after the music had stopped. My daughter patted the horse's head and thanked it as we walked away, each them ready to make the go-round again. Medium: Medium format, Yashica LM TLR camera
