Hungry Carps on Broadway

This are the "famous" ducks and carps on Broadway, non-stop begging for food. No, no, I'm not talking about THE Broadway in NYC, I made the photos at the Broadway Park waters in Myrtle Beach :-)

Hundreds of carps are begging with wide open mouths for food. And of course, people can not resist and will drop 25cents into those little machines there with fish food, drop them to the water and watch the beginning fights for food and surviving.

They look like they would sing a song.... :-)

But for the most of them it is not a fight for surviving at all, look how fat they are! It is only begging!

A pretty and very shy duck tried to catch also some of the dropped fish food

And here I've found a sweet lyric with CHRIS REA about "I'm gone fishing"

I'm gone fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make the difference
So I'm taking the time

And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So I'm gone fishing
And I'm going today

I'm gone fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go

And when the time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me

You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free

The Carousel on Broadway

I love these nostalgic carousels - it takes you back in time

Pretty angel...

I love the bunny!

Wild, wild horses...

The Myrtle Beach Carousel

In July 2007, the Pavilion Nostalgia Park at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC, became the new home of the famous Myrtle Beach Pavilion’s Herschell-Spillman Carousel. Dating back to 1912, the carousel made its debut at The Myrtle Beach Pavilion in 1950. Of the 15 working Herschell-Spillman carousels in the country, the Pavilion Nostalgia Park’s carousel is one of the most elaborate and well-kept machines. The Pavilion Nostalgia Park’s Carousel features an array of animals including hand-painted frogs, lions, ostriches, zebras, giraffes and roosters.

The Pavilion Nostalgia Park’s design recalls the atmosphere of The Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park, which celebrated its farewell season in 2006 after 58 years as a recreation focal point for Myrtle Beach residents and visitors. Landmarks such as the Myrtle Beach Pavilion’s Herschell-Spillman Carousel and the historic hand-carved German Baden Band Organ are featured at The Pavilion Nostalgia Park.

Popular rides brought to the Nostalgia Park from the Pavilion include the Tea Cup Ride, Motorcycle Ride, Dune Buggy Ride, Kiddie Pirate Ship, Boat Ride, Caterpillar Ride, adult Pirate Ship, and Wave Swinger. Arcade games will be located within the park and traditional games such as the milk can toss will line the park’s midway.
Favorite carnival foods like funnel cakes and corn dogs will be served. The park will also feature a retail store as well as an on-site museum which will house artifacts from The Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park.

The Pavilion Nostalgia Park is a year-round family attraction located on the east end of Broadway at the Beach, a shopping, dining and entertainment complex.
