I really enjoy this photo, i'm unsure weather or not its been manipulated but it personifies a really unique atmosphere. Unlike the others I have looked at this carousal has varying coloured lights, these appear to be the only light source within the image and have a great effect shining through the thick fog, attempting to illuminate the horses so far ahead that they hidden in the mist. The coloured lights other than the standard oranges help to give it a more magical and mysterious feel than the warm welcoming one.
I like the imagery of the horses appearing from and vanishing into the fog, as if they are coming out from nowhere. This carousal is really big and with it being shrouded in fog becomes kind of claustrophobic. I imagine that riding on the horse being unable to see their destination meant that it felt like the horse was just going on and on forever, other than the horses just going round in circles. Anything could appear out of the fog either in front or behind, I like the idea of the fog getting thicker and then finding yourself on a horse on the middle of a field. Now I think of it if i were to use Fog it could symbolise the blurriness of the childhood memory, but the lights/ feelings of that memory are clear and vivid.
