THE ROMANCE SIDE -

THE ROMANCE SIDE OF A CAROUSEL ANIMAL [ THE OUTSIDE ] WAS ALWAYS MORE ELEGANT THAN THE INSIDE.

MORE COLORS - JEWELS AT TIMES - GLITZ

TO ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF POSSIBLE RIDERS -

THIS RE-DOING OF THE ENTIRE CAROUSEL - INCLUDING THE MECHANICS AND PAINTINGS HAS TAKEN LONGER THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT - BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT.

A JEWEL IN A SMALL TOWN -

A ROUNDER BOARD TO HIDE MECHANICS - THESE WERE HAND-PAINTED IN OIL PAINTS

2014 VISIT FROM PAM J AND THE CAROUSEL -

www.ipernity.com/doc/peggyc/album/716071

ANDY AND I WOULD TALK ABOUT THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF WHERE WE LIVED.
ONE THAT HE LOVED HEARING ABOUT WAS THE DENTZEL CAROUSEL AND WHEN PAM J VISITED IN 2014.
HOW I WISH HE COULD SEE HOW THE CAROUSEL HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH CARING HANDS --
BUT, HE PROBABLY HAS ALREADY HAD A RIDE.

Superbe .

MANY THANKS, NICOLE.

The Lion King!

OH YES -- HE IS QUITE REGAL! WITH THE NEW PAINT, ALL THE ANIMALS ON THE OUTSIDE [ CALLED THE ROMANCE SIDE ] HAVE GLITZ ADDED TO GOLD OR A PROMINANT PAINT COLOR.
SUCH A SUPERB UNDERTAKING OF OUR 'JEWEL' ~

Interesting! Thanks for all the information. I am sorry to see that nobody is sitting on this gorgeous lion.

EVA,

I TRY NOT TO TAKE PHOTOS OF CHILDREN .. THERE WAS A BOY RIDING THE LION JUST BEFORE THIS SHOT WAS TAKEN - THE RIDE STOPPED AND HE GOT OFF.

THEN I TOOK THE PHOTO.

IF I DON'T KNOW THE PARENT, I WON'T TAKE A SHOT UNLESS IT IS FROM THE BACK AND NOT RECOGNIZABLE.
IF I KNOW THE PARENT, I'LL ASK IF IT IS OKAY. ALWAYS.

PEGGY

OH PEGGY EACH TIME I THINK I FAVE STOPPED THE TEARS I CRY ANOTHER RIVER !

NDYI AM SURE WILL FLY IN ONE DAY
THE CAROUSEL IS WHERE MY HEART IS TOO YOU KNOW THAT TOO.
ITS A PIECE OF MAGIC
HUGSSSSS

ACROSS THE MILES -- FEEL THE BREEZE - IT IS I.

beautiful

Happy new week:)

THANK YOU, MY FRIEND.

A real antiquity, this lion, which kept all its splendor!

THE WORK ON THE CAROUSEL TOOK LONGER THAN ORIGINALLY EXPECTED AND COST MORE, TOO -- BUT TO ME IT WAS WORTH EVERYT DOLLAR AND EVERY DAY AWAY FROM HOME TO RETURN IN SUCH SPLENDOR!

Great lion - nicely photographed for us to see his splendor. Are you a big carousel fan? In Oregon we still have a working carousel in our amusement park, and a carousel museum that refurbishes many Dentzel animals.

I hope you took a ride!
What drew you to take this for our day? Was it a special outing?

OH, YOU LUCKY SOUL .. ANY PHOTOS OF THE CAROUSEL MUSEUM?

WHAT DREW ME TO THIS .. THE CAROUSEL HAS RECENTLY RETURNED. I HAVE BEEN BY THE AREA AS THE NEW 'HOME' FOR IT WAS BEING BUILT.
JUST GOING THERE IS SPECIAL.
THIS TIME WAS FOR PHOTOS - NEXT TIME I SHALL RIDE!

WHEN I WAS THERE IN 2017 APPARENTLY I ONLY TOOK ONE PHOTO! (I WILL HAVE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHERS, BUT I'M NOT SURE) THE MUSEUM IS A BIT SOUTH OF PORTLAND, IN ALBANY, OREGON. LUCKILY THE ONE PHOTO IS OF ONE OF THE ANIMALS, HERE FOR YOU TO SEE

GORGEOUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH,
PEGGY
