Douglas

Thanks for your comment, and for looking.

I guess that is the difference in the way we see, and I may be wrong so 
forgive me if I am before I get into a flame war. You, I would suggest, see 
a colourful carousel against a blue sky, but the image has been downgraded 
by the absence of colour. I, however, see a family playing with interaction 
between them and the ride operators. I see eye lines of sight and 
connections between people. This, for me, would have been lost in a myriad 
of gaudy fairground colours. But, as you say, if you only have b&w that is 
what you get at the end of the day.

Kind regards

Gerry
