Road Trip - Day 6 (House on the Rock - Carousel)

Spring Green, WI view map

We visited House on the Rock today. This is my second time here in the past 15 (or so) years. I'd not been all that pumped to go to this, but I decided to Schlep the camera gear with me and I'm glad I did. We got there right as the opened (9am) and there were about 9 cars there (the parking lots must hold about 500 cars?).

With a small crowd, this place is a great place to practice Strobist principals. I was hiding my flash everywhere, trying to get interesting lighting effects. This shot was sans flash, it was of the main carousel (there are about 4 to 6). I hand held this with IS off. I figure the nude form will help boost my PaD hit count ;-).

A note about the House on the Rock, as a museum, it falls a little short of explaining what they have on display. They certainly have a lot to display, it is an eclectic historical, sometimes nautical, collection of historical memorabilia from all over the world. It was about a four hour walking tour, possibly more if you looked at everything (well, definitely more). If you breeze through everything, it could be done in 3 hours.

We leave from here tomorrow (land of the cheap beds) and onto Milwaukee.
