Painted Ponies

In my journey to Salem I pass an architectural salvage place in Aurora, Oregon. This area was settled as part of the Oregon Trail westward migration in the 1850's. Here's a link to the Aurora Colony. http://www.auroracolony.org).

After passing this place for years, I finally stopped today. This is a photo of painted ponies or carousel horses. http://www.carouselfigures.com/id250.html
