'300,000 Likes' Free Photo Competition ( Cloud Themed Photos only! ) : Entry Number 3763

A joyride! The children in this picture are floating in the air on this carousel and become hence part of the clouds hanging in the sky. Happiness, reminding us of our youth and the wonderful fantasies connected with it. Clouds representing just this aspect of our own existence.

Thank you very much for the honor! It was an unexpected surprise with so many amazing entries in the competition. The cries of excitement and glee emanating from the ride inspired me to capture the youthful exuberance of a hot summer day in Coney Island, Brooklyn. It was an excuse to visit my childhood for a moment and envision myself flying high through the clouds, enjoying a cooling breeze on an oppressively muggy July day.
