Detail of gondolas on the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel, sited adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip.
I wouldn't call it a downpour, and it didn't last for long, but some of the folks on the carnival rides did get wet when the rain arrived. This shot was taken about 45 minutes after the image that I posted yesterday that showed the dark clouds approaching.
An offshore storm begins to roll in over the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, Galveston, Texas.
The light of the rising sun silhouettes the Historic Galveston Pleasure Pier as day breaks over the Gulf of Mexico.

This shot was taken at the Oakland County Fair, in Davisburg, Michigan, last summer. Dark clouds were approaching...the rain started shortly after this snap...and the original was rather dark and dreary, so I had some fun with the processing. :-)

24 riders, sitting in double swings are strapped in and raised 218 ft in the air while spinning 360° up to 70 Km/Hr. The ride then lifts and lowers riders at its top speed, creating a tornado-like effect.
This breathtaking experience is said to provide an unparalleled panoramic view of the entire city of Vancouver, BC Canada
However, this height defying experience supposedly leaves people in a dizzy/blurred state, begging for solid ground!
A family member of mine went on and returned sicker than they have ever felt in their entire life !
And, would I take a ride?
Surely you 'jest' !!!
'Not I', said the chicken :)
Best experienced in full screen.
Thanks for peeking

Gondolas on the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel and sited adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, appear to be components of a futuristic space station.
Galveston, Texas’ Historic Pleasure Pier reaches out into the cold wind and overcast skies of the Gulf of Mexico.
When dark clouds gathered in the north, it made for a nice contrast with the late day sun illuminating the midway and ferris wheel at the Oakland County Fair last week in Davisburg, Michigan. A few minutes later, it rained.

There's a carnival in town this weekend, so I stopped by for a few shots. It's been a long while since I've been on one of these rides that spins its occupants upside down, but my recollection is that this image is kinda what it feels like. :-)

This carnival ride doesn’t turn its riders upside down, but it does whip its occupants around in a circular pattern on a platform attached to a long arm that goes up and over the top, rising 55 feet above the midway. The Rock Star then "gives riders a unique free-fall experience as the platform whisks towards the ground," according to modernmidways.com.
In this shot, the platform was on its way up. By tracking the platform with my camera, I was able to capture the motion blur while keeping the platform and riders mostly in focus. If you zoom in and check out the expressions, you can see that most riders seemed to be enjoying the ride, though there are a few exceptions.
Happy Independence Day to all of my American friends!
I love the bright colors and lights at county fairs, but you can keep the rides.
My first ever date was to the county fair. I rode on this same ride...it was called "Tilt a Whirl" back then. As we exited the ride, I threw up on my date's shoes. Needless to say the relationship did not progress...:-)))
