@Marion: I don't really know I was stunned by seein this little girl all alone in the air :)
Hidalgo from Herunen, Finland
Wow, alone. Where are others? Very nice photo with warm color. I like the angle of this "widget" or what ever it is called.

@Hidalgo: I have no idea what it's called or what it is, the people in them usually get my attention :)

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Interesting that she was the only rider on the attraction at the fair ... good sighting, Lorraine!
25 Jun 2009 10:42am
@Judy: Yes it is indeed...I've seen so much that I can't remember, but I think that it was probably holding getting more kids in...how else could I have taken such a great photo lol
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
She looks lonesome! A telling shot!
25 Jun 2009 11:10am
@Craig: She didn't seem to mind too much lol
@k@: lol merci beaucoup K ;)
Kathy from Indianapolis, United States
You can tell the mothers and grandmothers among us, Lorraine. My first thought was for her safety and then I allowed a little room for the joy she might be feeling of being so free! Is it a ride? I thought it might be a ferry of some sort. You always leave us with a mystery to solve!
25 Jun 2009 11:26am
@Kathy: It's a child's ride, plus I think other kids were being put in that's why she's just hanging there :) I think...or maybe because it had just opened lol ;) no worries
Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada
Nicely seen and captured Lorraine! She looks to be lost in her own little world..... ;-)
25 Jun 2009 11:28am
@Eric Cousineau: She's certainly happy enough...or deep into thoughts up in the air, it's really quite the feeling (If I remember from so long ago...lol)
Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
She has the ride all to herself. Waiting for the others. Great shot Lorraine.
25 Jun 2009 11:44am
@Lee: Thanks very much Lee ;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
A courageous little girl... I hope she had a lot of fun with all the attractions and enjoyed the ride ...:)
25 Jun 2009 12:16pm
@Nina: There were so many children and parents Nina, and it's amazing now how young the parents are, I must have been the oldest there, but hiding behind my camera I'm as excited as a child lol

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
How strange the message of this image changes because of the solitary girl . . although she looks quite content to be traveling alone !

Barbara from Florida, United States
What fun you've captured, I feel the twirl and whirl and ohhhh my the sensation of vertigo.
I love the shot and the lone little girl, reminds me of myself when I wanted to go on those rides and no one was brave enough to go with me.
Great timing.
25 Jun 2009 6:55pm
@Barbara: I can see you as a little daredevil, in a sweet, sweet way, thanks a lot Barb :)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
yeah he was ok.we queued a long time and when i finally saw the big float we are going to sit on go down the water slide i regretted queuing up.Ian was like,'whoa,whoa',wide-eyed all the way down.But after that he was laughing and giggling,so i guess he was ok.But wont try it again till he is slightly older!:)
