They were also trees before they became a roller coaster. It's as if the trees were admiring that artwork (or showing off) but at the same time feeling sorry.

Women's Barrel Racing
Super Kicker Rodeo
2019 Oakland County Fair, Michigan

For those who don't know the sport, women’s barrel racing is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. The event tests both the athletic ability of the horse and the horsemanship skills of the rider.
I’ve always loved this shot so I hope you’ll forgive the fact it’s noisy and has only a bleak grey sky. It was taken from Currumbin Rocks looking towards Surfers Paradise, a few miles distance as the seagull flies, Gold Coast, Australia.

Nothing like a good roll and scratch after a long day swatting flies. Wild horses, Arizona.
And how about a caption by the spectator: "You look SO silly".
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Oscar Wilde.
Last of the series but not the least. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them. Thank you all for your kind thoughts.
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was a prolific Irish writer who wrote plays, fiction, essays, and poetry. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.
Wilde's parents were successful Anglo-Irish, Dublin intellectuals. Their son became fluent in French and German early in life. At university, Wilde read Greats; he proved himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at Dublin, then at Oxford. He became known for his involvement in the rising philosophy of aestheticism, led by two of his tutors, Walter Pater and John Ruskin. After university, Wilde moved to London into fashionable cultural and social circles.
As a spokesman for aestheticism, he tried his hand at various literary activities: he published a book of poems, lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art", and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist. Known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day. At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He wrote Salome (1891) in French in Paris but it was refused a licence for England due to the absolute prohibition of Biblical subjects on the English stage. Unperturbed, Wilde produced four society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London. Source Wikipedia.
