See you tomorrow at the Princess Bride Experience at the Alley Theatre in Louisville! It’ll be a lot of fun! And mostly indoors, so YAY, we won’t be feeling only mostly dead from the heat!
I’ll have my books at the ready, and you can find novels by other authors you’ll enjoy, including Eric Garrison, Marian Allen, Kat French, and more. Then there’s the fencing demonstrations, the Cliff Notes of Insanity, MLT sandwiches, artisan doughnuts from HiFive…INCONCEIVABLE not to make it!

I never get tired of watching this promo. It chokes me up every time. I’ll never stop missing derby. At least I can write about it.

Amazing Long Term Exposure Photos of Ferris Wheels
The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The term Ferris wheel later came to be used generically for all such structures, and Ferris wheels are now the most common type of carnival ride at state fairs in the United States.
Since the original 1893 Chicago Ferris Wheel, there have been eight subsequent world’s tallest-ever Ferris wheels. The current record holder is the 165-metre (541 ft) Singapore Flyer, which opened to the public in March 2008.
In the gallery below (most taken at local fairs and carnivals), we see what Ferris wheels look like when captured using a longer exposure (i.e., shutter left open, typically 2 seconds or more). The lights that adorn the Ferris Wheels blend and blur, creating brilliant patterns and beautiful photos.
