The Carnival

Last month I was fortunate to visit the Musée Mechanique (warning: plays music when you click). It is an experience I definitely recommend. My favorite thing was the Carnival.

These photos do not capture the actual motion, which is kind of the whole point, but you can see the loving detail with which the builder, a carny himself, replicated his environment in miniature.
