A daily snippet of a young British man and his life in Santa Cruz, California

Pleasure at the Fairground

Saturday, 15 November 2008

Just a quickie - I just love this photo I took of a mural down at the boardwalk, and I wanted to share it.

It's just so naff, for one - everyone is so ridiculously out of proportion with each other and themselves.

The way they look like they're being sucked into the pavement is genius - a bit like being trapped under the end of the escalator in railway stations and shopping centres, but in a 'hey that'll be fun' way.

The comical 'extra hand' at the side - the mind boggles as to how that person got there, the daredevil, the knave!

Oh, and the guy at the back - what, is this how he relaxes? Was he born on a rollercoaster? Or does he just know he's not going anywhere!
