Swirling around, up and down, does it make you happy or sick? The Super Orbiter is just one among many midway rides at the Western Washington State Fair. Most kids are not interested in the exhibits, Pro Rodeo or headline entertainment (Willie Nelson and Family), but they are drawn like moths to a flame to the rides and games. Our fair sells ‘Dizzy Passes,’ for $27.50, which entitles each person unlimited rides for the date of purchase. I always bought them for my kids and they would ride the night away. As for me when I was a kid, the whirling and swirling was just too much, and heights terrify me so I stuck to playing the games, looking at exhibits and eating fair food.

cool, this shot almost made me dizzy. You probably had a tripod to help out. :)
great shot, but i’m a nauseous twirler, i’m afraid. :)
Dizzy! But I like light and effects of this shot.
this one made me think Wheeeeeeee! great shot
Although the photo is beautiful….even watching a ride such as this makes my stomach lurch.
I must admit, I’m more a watcher than a rider. Spinning….OK, upside down….no way! Point me to the funnel cake, frozen yogurt, and pizza please! Great capture here…the crowds at the shore did me in and my photos suffered. Guess I will have to return to practice…LOL
I love coming here to see what you will feature, but I leave feeling I don’t know 1/10th of what you do about photography! Thanks for hosting, Madge. xo
Great image and post, Madge!
“Doin’ the Puyallup” was the one event my kids always insisted we make. And yep, mainly for those rides.
With age, I’ve lost my tolerance for spinning rides. :) LOVE that shot, tho.
Fantastic shot, and beautiful lighting!
Great shot! – but I’ll pass on the ride, thank you!
The rides make me woozy, I prefer the exhibits and I would LOVE to see Willie Nelson!! :)
Hi Madge! What a colorful ride! Love the geometric patterns in your photo. I’m back linking at your lovely meme. Been traveling quite a bit–what a wonderful summer. Hope yours was fun! :-)
Wow! What an amazing shot! I hate to twirl around on those rides now but I love to watch! Thanks for stopping by, Laura
You are the master of light!
I’m a watcher, not a rider! But this photo is fantastic! Really captures the motion. xx

That is a pretty amazing photo! I the lights above!
What a beautiful photo! The light trails are fantastic!
Fantastic picture, completely captures all the fun of the fair! :)
I was exactly the same as you Madge-except that I may have fainted too! it is a great image. So much going on it -love the colour and fantastic swirling movement.
lovely shot … played right into my vertigo .. going to try adding your link again but yesterday it only showed a blue square with a question mark, i think there’s something wrong with the code .. anyway its not working for me ..
I’m not sure what happened there with that, but I tweaked the code and the meme button works now. I’ll send you the code in an email… thanks for letting me know it was broken. :-)
Very cool effect with the swirling light and colors Madge!
Delicious light and color, I love the atmosphere it conveys.
Awesome how you captured the light streaks!
Wonderful photo. Definitely an ace shot. I’ve got so much more to learn!!
Hi! Nice capture. Thank you for sharing with you.
