"Awaiting Cinderella"
Horse-drawn carriages line up along Central Park South in New York City all year long-- “Awaiting Cinderella”. What a "magical memory" it must be to take a ride in one of these, especially at Christmas time!
This one has a sign swinging on the driver's backrest: "No Whining". Shame to spoil the magic so quickly and visibly! No problem... there are plenty of carriages just as beautiful. Don’t we want a white horse anyhow?
See PROP # 1-- for details at Central Park's site
See PROP # 4-- for a tear-jerking song that threatens to replace "Daddy's Little Girl" at weddings ...Chuck Wicks - "Stealing Cinderella"

Really nice shot! I was wondering about the angle, too. Michael Ball is quite observant.

Nice perspective looking down into the carriage. Nicely composed and interesting too. We have those in St. Augustine too.

Beautiful carriage and I like the high level where you stood to take this picture Rob. You must have been in a second story upstairs.

You mean this ISN'T in Fairy Tale? ! Perfect POV for a lovely composition. I'm siding with the driver, too many whiners but instead of telling them not to whine, he should just stop and let them walk. ;-) Wonderful photo in all respects.

Pretty, love the kind of sauntering look of the horse.
