Just want to get on that toboggan and fly down towards the tree and beyond… however… you don’t need one… just trying to walk down there is hard enough, without slipping… Queenstown, New Zealand
-
Another toboggan temptation however not one to attempt. Nature’s playground forms its own slides and swings. Early morning and the deciduous nature shines in its white snowy frame. Untouched… this is nature at its best. Queenstown, New Zealand

SEE THE CAROUSEL IMAGE COLLECTION RIDE THE CAROUSEL FOR 25 CENTS! No, that is not a price from yesteryear but the price today for a ride on the Kit Carson County Carousel in Burlington, Colorado which is located just off Interstate 70 on the Colorado/Kansas border. Although there were nearly 4,000 wooden carousels carved in the U.S. between 1885 and 1930, there are fewer than 150 still in existence. The one in Burlington is a magnificent example of the menegerie carousel which includes other animals in addition to horses. There are 46 hand-carved animals mounted on a 45-foot diameter platform. The largest animals are on the outside row, each with intricate carvings ranging from a giraffe with a snake twined around its neck to a armed gnome perched behind the saddle of a zebra! This carousel was manufactured in 1905 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC). Carousels made by PTC are identified by numbers in the order they were made. Therefore, the one in Burlington is identified as the PTC No. 6 which indicates that it was the sixth (of 74) manufactured. The PTC No. 6 is a 3-row ride and the animals do not move up and down. Currently housed in a 12-sided wooden building, this 100+ year old carousel has been completely restored and still has original paint on both the cotton muslin scenery panels and on the animals. The PTC No. 6 was originally run by the 1902 General Electric Induction Motor. Amazingly this motor has never been rebuilt and still powers the carousel on special occasions at more than 10-12 miles per hour! The average carousel has a speed of 8 mph. The PTC No. 6 was designated a National Historic Site in 1979, then designed a National Historic Landmark in l987, and is the only one in Colorado that you can ride! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

my friends were playing with the toboggan so I went over to the lookout.

What goes down has to be dragged up. This was taken quite a few years ago now. A day trip at Lake Mountain. They had so much fun even if their feet nearly froze off.

Thumbs-Up!
by BigDIt was taken in the town of Eagles Mere, PA with a Canon 50D camera on 01/25/2009. / The town is where past governors of the state of Pennsylvania would come to for some R and R. This weekend is different in the town of Eagles Mere, the last time they were able to set up the toboggan run was in 2004 because the weather hasn’t been cold enough until this year. It’s been a tradition since 1902. A group of local volunteer firemen came together and built the toboggan run. The ice is 16 to 18 inches thick and they used an old 24 inch circular ice saw that powers with a 4 cyclinder Wisconsin engine like the one that runs an old hay baler. The toboggan run is over a 1/4 of a mile long laid with ice cubes from the Eagles Mere lake. The firemen have fifty whole made toboggan sleds that they rent out. A group of seven can get two rides in a hour and they have to go back to the end of the line that is 3 hours long or more. There is refreshments for the ones that are waiting. I could smell the aroma of hot chocolate, coffee and hot dogs in the cold brisk air. From babies to senior citizens enjoying the tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation. The local State Police clocked the speed of one of the toboggan’s coming down the steep grade at 45 miles per hour. The spokeperson said they used go faster then that back in the early 1900’s because they had a wooden ramp they used to come off onto the ice. In the image you can see the second person giving me the thumbs up and they were doing 45 miles per hour when I took the photo.

I decided to stop by a notorious snow sledding hill on a beautiful winter afternoon, just to see if there might be some “action” to photograph. This was the last major snowfall of the year and I was not disappointed by what I found! Everyone, young and old, appeared to be having loads of fun! These lovely young ladies were obviously having an absolute BLAST! They were riding a colorful two-seat snow tube from the very top of the hill, over and over again. The gleeful expressions on their faces confirmed exactly what a delightful experience they were enjoying. This one captured moment simply tells the whole story! THIS IMAGE IS AVAILABLE AS A CUSTOMIZED CHRISTMAS CARD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SPECIAL GREETING OR SENTIMENT ADDED TO THIS CARD, JUST CONTACT ME THROUGH BUBBLEMAIL WITH YOUR REQUEST. I WILL UPLOAD THAT VERSION TO REDBUBBLE TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. This photo was captured “handheld” using a Canon EOS 10D camera with a Canon EF 100-300mm f/3.5-4.5 USM telephoto lens at maximum focal length. The shutter speed was 1/4000th sec at f/4.5. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. Featured in “ImageWriting” Your comments are always welcome!
