California-based, Barcelona-born photographer Pep Ventosa has created an otherworldly series of composite images of carousels and amusement park rides in Paris, Barcelona and California. Pep slowly circles the rides, taking dozens of photographs and then blends them into one phantasmagoric image. The resulting series of dreamlike photos is titled In the Rounds—Carousels. One of my favorites is of the Carousel de la Tour Eiffel.(last image)
