we are so lucky to have this right in our downtown area. Our riverfront park is very historical and this carousel if a favorite. I was happy to snap this quick shot as we were leaving the park for the evening and when I say quick I mean I was walking and snapping at the same time.
some information on the carousel:
Riverfront Park’s 1909 Looff Carrousel is on theNational Register of Historic Places and is one of America’s most beautiful and well preserved hand-carved wooden carrousels. Our Looff Carrousel proudly features 54 horses, 1 giraffe, 1 tiger, and 2 Chinese dragon chairs and still has a brass ring to catch.
and for some additional history on spokane you can go here
the carousel was even on the antiques roadshow.
Awesome shot. Thank you for sharing at YSB this week. :)
