This lovely carousel is located in the Piazza della Repubblica in Florence, Italy. I always make a point to stop by this lovely Piazza and have tea and watch the children on the carousel. This year was no exception. I think the horses are beautiful with the feather plumes atop their heads.
Be sure to stop by the MY WORLD meme hosed by the MyWorld Team of: Klaus | Sandy | Ivar | Wren | Fishing Guy | Louise. It's a great meme and I so enjoy photos from around the world and know you will too.

This looks fun, I've never had a carousel ride ever. :) My world is at Today's Blah...
It does look like a piece of art!I haven't had a ride on carousel since .....a looong time ago.

That's a gorgeous carousel horse. There is a mall nearby that has a carousel made in Italy. It had to go back there repairs. Beautiful workmanship.
What a fabulous, ornate carousel! My Grandchildren would love it.
Carousel I just love them.

Great detail. The horses look like porcelain. I'll be the kids love that merry-go-round. Nice capture Erin.
I wish I was a child again!
Great photo!
This is beautifully done!! How I really wish I was a little child allowed to ride these amazing carousels!
What a beautiful carousel. I love the way you photographed it.
Oh my gosh, that picture is just breathtaking!
Hi Erin,
thanks for nice comments and I think your carousel is lovely. Great composition. Firenze is on my list of places I want to visit and what would be better than having a cup of coffee watching the children like you do.
Have you seen my carousel in Carcassonne and in Mirepoix? They are also very old fashioned. (maybe they are)
I like this one. Nice shot.
Its old world charm captivates young and old.
This is so nostalgic. They really are an intricate work of art too, always liked them. A my world to make you smile.
Erin: What a classic work, great photo.
It is beautiful and the horses are little pieces of artwork. Then again you are such a master behind ther camera. Anything you photograph turns out beautiful.
Lovely photo we have a large carousel near here and my kids always loved having a ride..
Italy! that's a place I want to visit.
I love the carousel, too. Nice photo.
Stunning photo. I ;ove the movement in it. Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Gorgeous carousel and great photo.
That's a very colorful carousel. I have not been on one, and I would dare to try on one.
beautiful indeed!
There is nothing nicer then an old caroussel with wooden horses !
Beautiful picture of carousel.
You should photography this with flash, set as second curtain shutter speed to have a trail of light at the horse's tail.
Love it! Very beautiful! I think that any child would love to ride that horse...
Thank you for your visit!
that is a great pic, thanks for sharing. love the colors!
Thank you so much for visiting My World post this week. Love your photos here. Just wonderful!
Beautiful! I love how the blurred edges frame the colorful horse. Thanks for visiting My World post. I wish I could tell you what kind of tree those are on my pic...they may be Mulberries. Not sure. The leaves are just now starting to come out. Enjoy the day...
I have never seen such wonderful carousel horses. makes me want to take a ride back into childhood.
Great photo, I have a weird love of carousels.
I'll email you about the books, thanks. :)
Lovely carousel, wonderful capture. I would probably do the same thing, have tea (or coffee) and watch the children on the carousel. :-)
It is very mysterious. Yes it is a very beautiful carousel, and the way the photo was taken makes it even more magical.

You're right -- this is a beautiful carousel. I'm guessing it must be fairly old since the horses are so elegant.
You're an amazing photographer - this photo is spectacular. What a lovely carousel.
