Off in the distance you can see the Casco Bay Eye. My eye! It's just a ferris wheel situated along the water for last weekend's festivities. I must say though, it must have offered quite a view of the waterfront. It one of those fold-up contraptions offered by Smokey's Greater Shows, a carnival outfit out of Fryeburg. Name a fair or summer festival in this state and their carnival rides will be ding-donging in the distance. Oh yeah, and sorry about the stupid 'love locks' in the foreground. I did notice that the locks are beginning to creep their way to the other side of the chain-link fence though. Besides being in love, you better have a bit of the daredevil in you. You see, there's about a 12 foot drop to the water and rocks below.
I have no plans to add my YALE lock to this fiasco.
Hahahaha.
Others I know might like to try.
Love ferris wheels.
Wasting a MASTER lock?
Not so much.
"Love is Strange"(1956) by Mickey and Sylvia comes to mind.

Yes to the Ferris wheel, no to the eyesore of the so called love-locks...

ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at the love locks on one of our bridges lately...
ReplyDeleteColorful
ReplyDeleteHate the idea of "love locks". It's just another form of urban litter, and their weight is destructive to the bridges they're on. Paris is forced to remove them so the bridges don't collapse. Farris wheels are great fun.
ReplyDeleteI like the ferris wheel (from the ground).
ReplyDeleteLove locks are just another form of graffiti IMO.
They're cutting the locks off the bridges in Paris, as their weight compromises the safety of the people.
ReplyDeleteI remember Love is Strange. Did Mickey and Sylvia ever have another hit?
ReplyDeletereally don't like love locks thing. :)
