A merry-go-round at Rochester Castle, lit by the winter sun.
Built on the banks of the Medway in Kent, the castle dates from the 12th century, but the carousel was just there for Christmas.

The shadow of my carousel horse candle holder. I had to move it from its usual spot to get this shot as the sun was coming through the kitchen window.

A carousel: from French carrousel and Italian carosello), roundabout (British English), or merry-go-round, is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating circular platform with seats for riders. The "seats" are traditionally in the form of rows of wooden horses or other animals mounted on posts, many of which are moved up and down by gears to simulate galloping, to the accompaniment of looped circus music. This leads to one of the alternative American names, the galloper.
Designed and built in 1916 by Charles I.D. Looff, and faithfully restored in 1981 through 1984, The Looff Hippodrome carousel building at the Santa Monica Pier is listed as a National Historic Landmark.

... does anything make you feel like a child as instantly as just a glance at a carousel? This one is located in Central Park. It was crowded at the entrance, so I just had to work my way into a spot where I could capture a few pictures. I like being able to see a portion of the inside of the building that houses the carousel.
