Texture Tuesday-Yesteryear

My contribution for Kim's Texture Tuesday challenge is this photo I took at the carnival in Sheridan, Wyo, a couple of years ago.  I love a carnival.  The smell of corn dogs and cotton candy in the air...  The feel of saw dust under your feet...  The rides and games...  Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead on one of these rides but they're sure fun to look at.

I couldn't stop at just one variation on the photo so here's a second.  Fun stuff!

Here's the original.  Not a great photo...it may have been taken with my phone.  My favorite thing about it is that I caught this cowboy kissing his girl, in the foreground.  Sweet!
