Setting Up Carnival Rides Early 1960s

This was also in the collection of amusement park slides. I believe this gentleman is setting up carnival rides as he is working on a Roman Chariot to go on a caroussel. In the background can be seen a Ferris wheel and a small circular car ride. The carnival is held in a very scenic parking lot, overlooking some great mountains. This is one of the most dramatic shots I have seen, especially with the clouds in the background.

Wow, what an impressive location! I wish we knew where this was, and if they still held an annual carnival there. It's anybody's guess, though....

this is great, it looks so desolate, like there's no carnival music, just wind...
