OK I’ve actually no idea what this ‘thing’ is, hence the title, and I like Harry Potter. I was walking by and it looked photo worthy so I clicked away with my trusty D300, although when I look at the photo and try to think of what the subject might be, the word ‘carousel’ comes to mind. But I’m sure that’s not it.
This photo came out slightly bland so I ran it through GIMP afterwards and fiddled with the curves to give it a little extra UMPH, as you do.
So c’mon, who’s gonna tell me what this thing is? If your site is even remotely in a similar field as mine I’ll stick you on my blogroll as a reward – first come first served! (Update: Gilbert was first with the answer – he doesn’t have a photography website so here’s his Twitter page)!
In my parts (Southern USA) we’d call that a gazebo or a pavilion.
Yup, it’s a gazebo. Or sometimes also called a bandstand or kiosk. But Gilbert is right, it’s a gazebo.
Looks to me like an old housing for a carosel! Cool photo!
Nice one Gilbert! Unfortuantely I don’t think I can put your twitter page in my blogroll, how about a link within the post itself? Like a footnote.
Ken, you’re the first person with a photography website to give the answer (or copy Gibbert!), but your link has been in my blogroll for a couple of months now! Congrats anyway
Jo, at least someone agrees with me about the carousel connection
Thanks, I will include you in my blogroll too!
Thanks very much Ken
Also, how do you find so many photographers to photograph?!!
A gazebo definitely. Great shot, by the way!
I like Harry Potter too!
