At dusk, you’re coming to the Fair;
Can be reached by way of stairway;
Bluff, in background, you see there,
To one side, you find a fairway,
Though at golf too dark for fair play –
Better fare if at the fair stay!

A beautiful photo full of contrasts. I always think an empty fair is a time of contemplation – either of excitement to come or of an evening well spent. Personally I love the former 🙂

Glad you appreciate all the effort that went into it – I had to motor for all of three minutes to get there! 🙂
