When I first saw this photo, I was drawn to it because of it’s surreal fantasy fun aspect. I could almost hear the kids laughing and screaming with the theme park music in the background. But most simply this picture reminds of a carefree day in the sun. Days that I don’t see to much anymore in my adult life, but I do long for.
The sun and sky in the background also play a major part. I guess it somehow connects this carefree happiness with the heavens and with God (I often find myself drawn to pictures with clouds in the sky). The fact that the camera is looking up at the subjects probably helps this affect too. But then again, maybe it’s just me. I showed this to a friend, and she only said it made her dizzy, lol.
