Consider yourself validated. I like the shot, and I like that it's in b/w. Is it an old-fashioned one? Can't say I've seen a version with 'baskets' like that. Where was it taken?
This was done at the Battle Creek "Field of Flight" (Hot Air) Balloon Festival. The basket Ferris Wheel was a new one on me, too. I think the baskets are supposed to say something about or go along with the hot air balloons.
