Hackensack Discussion / The 2010 Holy Trinity Carnival
« on: May 05, 2010, 04:21:36 PM »
Come one, come all! It's carnival time!

The annual Holy Trinity Carnival opened last night in the church parking lot and continues until this Saturday night.

I went over there this afternoon and took cell pictures of all the big attractions:



A carnival goer's favorite sight: an open gate and no one in the ticket booth..........so I snuck in.






A couple of other Hackensack residents saw me and did the same.






I'm not quite sure what this ride is, but it showed lots of tomahawks and an indian trying to kill a bison. Sounds like fun! (no wonder they won't let adults in).






Next was the Foxitani TenPlex with all screens showing "The Ten Commandments".

The fun never stops.






This is called "The Dragon Wagon". I'm not sure who drives this wagon, but since it sits in a lot owned by the church (and since there's a new pastor), one can only speculate.






Ah, the dreaded "Slide of Sin". We all start up there in the heavens and have nowhere to go but down. I took this picture at the bottom of the ride, so you can guess how far down I am (hint: I had to wear asbestos shoes).






Lastly, we come to the Zipper. It's situated right by the Slide of Sin because the zipper leads to more sin than almost anything else (or so we were taught at HTS).






On a steamy night few years ago, I took a picture of the Zipper in action. Something about the image actually reminds me of another occasion (or two) of sin!

Scary stuff!  (not really) :angel:

This was at about 9:15am. I think they took off from Teterboro because I saw them go back there later. If so, they came north and then turned east before Passaic St. I didn't see them until they were past the Hackensack river, but I sure heard their very distinctive engine sounds.

The video has a very dark spot in the middle. It's from shooting at too slow a shutter speed at a too-bright sky. Because I was using a monster lens and was shooting at 96x, I was trained on a pinpoint of sky and if I tried to change the shutter speed, I would have lost the visual. Better to have a faulty visual than none at all.

By the time you see them bank to the right, they're probably past the Hudson River. With binoculars, I could see them behind Manhattan heading south.

Later that morning, I heard them again and took a couple of slide stills as they headed toward Teterboro.

Anybody know what these upward-propped aircraft are called?

...........it reflects off the river - moonshine on the Hacky!

My cellphone doesn't take good pictures at night, but this one I took tonight is good enough to see the bright swath of light on the river below the moon.

.............it travels a distance of one apartment per week on the backside of 417 Main St.

I took the cellphone picture on the right last week and the one on the left today.

Bonus (B)observation (can't find the photos): from my perspective, the sun sets as far south as Essex St at the Winter Solstice. It sets as far north as Passaic St exactly 6 months later.

That would place my personal Hackensack equator in the Central Avenue/Susquehanna tracks area.  8)
