Enjoy the good times at the carnival!
I came across The Founders Day Festival in Dripping Springs tonight. I was intrigued by two of the murals I saw. One was painted on the carnival operators truck and the other was painted on a ride.
The “united we stand” mural was painted on the side of one of the transportation trucks for the carnival. The panel you can’t see of this mural is of the Twin Towers. The panel was hidden by the “climb the rope” game for the kids. I sure would have liked to have gotten a shot of the entire side of the truck.
The other painting was on the “house of mirrors” ride. I’m not sure what is going on with that gunslingers nose but apparently the princess is scared. I think I am too.

I have been down to the Santa Monica Pier several times now. I have a thing for the boardwalks that have a sense of history and still have some of the old rides and games mixed in with the new. As more and more of these historical places are shut down it makes me cherish the remaining ones even more.
The Santa Monica Pier will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary this September 9th. Check out their website for all the history here.

I visited the Santa Monica Pier today. I just love it when they have the old video games and pinball machines in the arcades. The graphics are always suburb. These came from a video game called Dangerous Outlaws.
