Seeing this bee on whatever plant this is somehow reminded me of those white knuckle, stomach churning rides at the fairground & the memory of clinging on for dear life!
In 1927, Bert Koontz built this Coffee Pot on the west end of Bedford, Pennsylvania, to attract visitors to his adjacent gas station.
During the Lincoln Highway era (1912-1940), programmatic architecture was developed to appeal new motoring public. The Coffee Pot was one of them along the Lincoln Highway, Route 30, In Pennsylvania. This, 18 feet (5.5m) tall and 22 feet (6.7m) in diameter, was opened as a small restaurant, and later converted to a bar, then a gift shop.
In the 1980s, the Coffee Pot was officially closed and, by the 1990s, it was in bad shape and was nearly torn down. The local community came together, along with the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor to save this roadside landmark.
In 2004, the Coffee Pot was moved across Route 30 to the current location, the entrance of the Bedford County Fairgrounds and restored. Currently, in 2022, it is vacant.
AMSTERDAM LIGHT FESTIVAL - Virtual Fairground' is the latest work in Schaap’s series 'Proposals for Lunaparks', which consists of installations (ranging from small to large and from standing to hanging) in which Schaap investigates the influence of movement, colours and shapes on the spatial experience of a projection. The location for 'Virtual Fairground', the Beursplein, in front of Amsterdam’s stock exchange the Beurs van Berlage, was not an accident. Rectangular towers, round passages and triangular window frames come back in architect Berlage’s original design

"The lights still in our eyes,
We're leaving this whole fairground behind,
It's a dream that's going cold.
The circus never dies,
The act forever haunts these skies,
I know we cannot stay.
Farewell to the fairground,
these rides aren't working anymore.
Goodbye to this dead town,
until the ice begins to thaw..."
