Lunapark - in the former Park of Culture and Leisure in Holešovice exhibiton area. Roller Caster during Sunday afternoon. Couple of fair attracions, around are only few visitors. Vietnamese family resting on the banks in front of the construction to observe the show. Each attraction and merry-go.round has its own loud sound system tuned, to attract the missing crowds and to create feeling of some sort of saturnalian disco celebration. the impression of the place is desolate and depressive. The landscape reminds a brownfields somewhere in Ukraine, or Belarus - an entertainment industrial wasteland.Maybe we are leaving..
