We went to the Fruehlingsfest (Oktoberfest’s little sister) in Munich yesterday. Small Girl and I went super early to explore the massive flea market they have on the first Saturday. The day started out cloudy and cold, but ever the danger mouse she wanted to go on as many fairground rides as she could. You can see her grinning away in this picture if you look closely enough… I wish I still had the capability of going on such rides without feeling ill, I can’t even go on a normal swing nowadays!
Brooke says
I love the juxtaposition of the two rides together–great photo!
Emma says
Thanks Brooke! Do you remember the bitter cold year we went when it poured with rain?? :D

Oh, I had this on my “to-do” list. Just wanted to say, we moved to the Munich area temporarily (3 months from the US) yesterday. I’ve been reading your blog to remind myself “we can do this.” I’ve bookmarked a lot of places you have mentioned….so, thanks!
Emma says
Thanks so much, and welcome!! What a fantastic time of year to arrive in Munich for three months! Do give me a shout if I can help with anything! Emma :)
MsCaroline says
I used to be able to ride anything and everything, but somehow that all changed after I had kids. Maybe because I was so ill for so long – no idea. In any case, all I can say now is that I still have nightmares about the teacup ride at Disney – I was terrified I’d be sick all over #2. It looks like wonderful fun, but I would have to pass….
Emma says
Oh poor you… that sounds horrific! I don’t find it bad on rollercoasters, just round and round and forwards and backwards rides… :D
Merlinda Little ( @pixiedusk) says
Tricks my eye! Amazing capture =) #mysundayphoto
Emma says
Thanks Merlinda! :)
A Patchwork Life says
I’m with you…can’t think of anything worse than going on one of those swings! Great photo with both wheels in the frame – sort of looks like they’re getting tangled up!!
Emma says
Thank you! What happens to our brains that’s what I want to know, I could go on anything once upon a time! :D
Coombe Mill - Fiona says
Great capture from standing beneath there
Emma says
Thanks Fiona! I was more than happy stuck to the ground! :D
Nikki Thomas says
Oh I am so with you on that one, I can’t bear those sort of rides, I am so glad that my lot are old enough to go on by themselves. Sounds like a great day out though and that is a great photo
Emma says
Thanks very much Nikki! :)
Kim Carberry says

Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
I love how you framed the shot, it just screams fun! My eyes travel to so many small bits and pieces of this photo. Little vignettes of color here and there. Great capture.

Thanks so much Nikki! :)
Alex says

Alex says
What a great angle! Looks like lots of fun xx

Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
I couldn’t go on something like this! Great shot, love how it almost looks as if the swings are going to hit the Ferris wheel!
Emma says
It does doesn’t it? Just the angle thankfully! Thank you! :)
Funky Wellies says
Loving the all the different colours and movements in this shot. :) xx
Emma says
Thank you! Glad I had a guinea pig to take a picture of! :D xx
Ginger says
I could never enjoy any rides … my kids make up for it, though. Apart from the time they closed down Mr Monkey’s Banana Boat in Thorpe Park … temporarily, I hasten to add. After a quick hose-down it was up and running again, this time without us.
Emma says
That sounds like an “interesting” and very unforgettable experience!! :D
A Mum in London says
Beautiful photo, I love fairgrounds, but just like you, I’m not brave enough to go on rides like that ;)
Emma says
Thanks A. I would but they just make me feel sick nowadays! :D
Sarah Christie says
I love this angle it looks so vintage, shame the sun wasn’t shining for you that day x
Emma says
Thankfully it was kind to us and came out later! Thanks Sarah! :)
