Quite a few of the towns in France feature a carousel in one of their central plazas. Strasbourg has at least two of them: a more traditional version and the other a creative and slightly deranged departure from the norm which I caught in a 15 second movie. It's a bit of a pain to view the movie, but worth it. Click the image below which leads to a Yahoo briefcase. You'll see all kinds of garbage and in the center is a "file" called merrygo. Click merrygo and it should start downloading the quicktime movie into your browser. Warning, the movie is about 5 meg.

It's almost as much fun to watch the lady's jacket, which is striped and becomes an animated moire pattern as the camera's internal compression algorithms tried to compress the image.
