Found this funny carousel at Canet, a little coastal town near Barcelona.
This town lived a great prosperity in the late 19th early 20th centuries, that left some really beautiful buildings and a very special air of "fin de siècle".
They celebrate every year a modernist fair to bring again these years to the life.

What a great way to keep fit and entertain the kids at the same time.

I really like pictures like this which give you an insight of things you would never have known about.

What is very interesting about this image is that the man peddling actually looks very engaged in his occupation. I recall vividly at fairgrounds the operators are decidedly younger and bored whereas this fellow dinosaur seems very happy in his job.

This is such an eco-friendly way of doing things ... no motor, no gas, just human muscle. I love the shot! It is unique.

I got it now. The man was actually pedaling the carousel. I should have recognized it, since he right at the front. Instead, my eyes were wandering to the carousel in the back.

That's a great way to stay in shape and have fun doing it! I think that is just a great ride for the kiddies. Very sweet shot. I've never seen another one of these before. I like your description too.
