I bought a annual pass to Knotts Berry Farm today just so I could have another place to go to find things to photograph! :) This picture was taken with the flash to stop the moment, but a slower than usual shutter speed so I could get some light from behind the subjects, and see the movement. Obviously I wasn't able to plan the wonderful expressions of delight on the riders' faces, they supplied that for me as a bonus!

My favorite, also, Paul! :) GREAT FUN! Too bad you can't give these two this exciting photo! Great portrayal of movement! and FUN! :)

Thanks for all your comments! I like some of the other photos I did today, but I truly love the expression both of the participants of this ride have. I especially like the younger girl leaning into the ride and hanging on for dear life with that huge smile! So I suspect this will be the picture I use today, just because I can't pass up the obvious fun these two are having. :)
