Wooden Ostrich

Took a trip down to Charlotte for ice cream tonight, and stopped by the carousel. It really is a work of art. "The carousel was carved and created by the firm of G.A. Dentzel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was installed at Ontario Beach Park over a hundred years ago, and has remained in its original location, ever since. The carousel is a menagerie model and consists of 52 riding animals and two chariots, set in three rows."
