We’ve had early morning fog here for four of the past ten days, so I think my posts for the next two weeks will reflect that.
Unless I see something else all shiny.
Or a squirrel.
But right now, our theme for the next several posts will be “Fog.”
Bay Beach Amusement Park, 7:00 Saturday morning, well before the park opened and the Labor Day weekend crowds began to arrive.
This is the Zippin Pippin, a classic wooden roller coaster.
The fog provided a spectacular filter and I had my exposure dialed up to account for it. Generally the wood has a warm golden tone but that was negated by the fog and I saw no reason to attempt to recapture that color.
My favorite thing about the Pippin is the structure itself: the framework, the hardware, and the wood grain. If you have time, click on the pictures for a larger view. Then you can see what I mean about the wood.
Yes, I have ridden the Zippin Pippin–exactly once–and the crazed litany that passed through my lips for the entire ride would have done a sailor proud.
