State Fair 2017 - The Great Big Wheel

Friday, September 1, 2017

This photo of the Ferris wheel taken as Dale and I were leaving the fair. It looks great at night. No, we did not ride it. Will it be back next year?

Candy Apples and Popcorn 2

Another treated photo of a State Fair food stand taken at the 2011 Fair. I love all the colors of the lights of the Fair at night!

Another photograph of a food stand at the State Fair treated to look like a watercolor painting. The September 5 posting shows the original photograph.

Candy Apples and Popcorn

I took the photo that is the basis of this picture at the 2011 State Fair. I treated the photo on a photo-shop-type website to make it look like a watercolor painting. I think it turned out well. See posting from Sept. 5 for original photo.

The Fair 2011 (2nd Visit) Part 12 - Goin' Home

After my experience with the deep fried apple pie it was time to go home. It was past 10:30 and many things were closing down. The midway and lots of food booths were still open so bright lights were gleaming everywhere. Here are a couple of stands we passed on the long walk back from the southern grounds of the fair to the parking lots on the northern end near Larpenteur Avenue.
