Description
The tippy top of this classic amusement park ride is striped like a circus tent. Riders spin and scream as they float round and round on swings. I took this photograph at dusk along the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California. It’s nostalgic — a place that holds fond memories of childhood for many including myself. Shifting the focus, the lights of the attraction become abstract bokeh. Blurred but vibrant with color, it creates a playful, whimsical feeling — fleeting as is youth. This image was processed with a vintage esthetic and painterly background which appears to suspend the ride in the night sky scattered with stars.
