3rd Place - On the Midway-Shirley
by Shirley Haden

This poor ride had a miserable start to the fair, breaking down with stranded riders high up in the air. Not once, but 2 days in a row. No one was in danger ever, but they had to sit stranded up in the air for nearly a full hour in the hot sun. They got burnt pretty badly and some said, they had to go potty very very bad when they finally got down to the ground. I think it would be fun to be stuck up there at night, what a great view that would be.

I love rollercoasters, it's the thrill of falling over that first hump that's all the fun, but there is something that terrifies me about hanging in the air very high by four cables. That's scary! I'm sure they got their money back and then some.

Yep heights are best viewed from the ground where you cant fall any futher lol.

This is very nice, I hope thay all got there money back after being stuck up there for so long. Me I have more sense than to go up that high or is it that I just dont like heights these days lol.

That's not a bad idea Frank! This would make a pretty cool clock wouldn't it. Hummm. I might just make a print on that black core stuff and put some clock works in the back. Thanks for the idea!

That's indeed a story. Not much fun stuck in the sun for a few hours. I like the shot though. I thought at first it was a clock loooking at the thumbnail...

What a story!
But I like the picture, though.
