Description

Photograph of a boy on an amusement ride at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. The young boy has short hair and wears a sleeveless shirt. He sits behind a steering wheel in a small car while looking towards the right side of the photo. The car is a six-wheeler with its headlights positioned below the slanting hood of the vehicle. It also has two open rows for seating, with the boy sitting in the one towards the front of the car in which three steering wheels have been placed. The boy sits behind the wheel closest to the left edge of the photo, holding it with his right hand. Additionally, the car doesn't have a roof or doors. To the right of the boy's car is the end of another car, with a third automobile sitting in the background with a second young boy in it. The cars sit on a wood floor with supports for a cloth canopy at its center. The main column holding up the canopy rises from a base with a multitude of lightbulbs sticking out of it, which sits on its own sloping base with stripes and fringe. Connected to the central column are small beams extending like wheel spokes up to the canopy, holding it aloft. The canopy itself has a design of three alternating stripes and a scalloped edge with hanging fringe.
