SUNDAY POST: COLORFUL

I know I’m a little late for Jakesprinters Sunday Post, here is my post of the week.  Here is the back story.  This wonderfully delightful hand-carved and crafted carousel horse is on the Salem’s Riverfront Carousel, in Salem, Oregon.   Chris and I have been invited to photograph a fund raiser for the Adaptive Riding Institute of Salem (Scotts Mills) that will be held there in on May 26th of this year.

Here is some of the History of The Carousel

Salem’s Riverfront Carousel project was inspired by a trip Hazel Patton took in 1996 to visit family in Missoula, Montana. While there she went to see the first old-world style carousel built in the U.S. since the Great Depression. When Hazel rode the carousel, she knew it was more than the music and motion of the ornately carved and hand-painted horses that created magic in Missoula. The real beauty was how the carousel united the community by combining history with the creative talents of Missoula’s citizens. She knew that the citizens of Salem could bring similar magic to the banks of the Willamette River.

There are 28 carousel horses and this is only one of them.  No doubt I’ll be adding more photographs prior to the Adaptive Riding Event in May.  I just posted this series on this one horse is so full of color and fit the Jake’s theme for the week.
