Fair Game
*EOD*

Finalist - August 2011
POTD - August 15 2011
When you walk through any fairground there are lights and sounds to attract your attention with the purpose of getting you to part with your money. They even supply seating so you can play the games. This game attracted my attention because of the bold colours and EOD. I bet they really wondered what I was doing. No I didn't play the game but maybe I should have.
Canon EF 70-300mm lens f/11 1/100 sec ISO 200

  Wow, I just love these colours . . green and purple are favourites you know. What a great photo . . they wouldn't let me bring a camera into the fairgrounds this year . .. guess it looked tooo big. They were patting people down and everything . . sheesh . . you woulda thought we were at the airport or something.
