Located south of the City of Kingsburg, CA in the tiny town of Traver, is Bravo Farms. It is always a place that catches your eye as you drive past on HWY 99, but are always in a hurry to get to your destination. I had to stop and get gas, so it was the perfect time to explore. To my surprise, it truly is a "Wonderland of Imagination" with a slant to vintage California/Central Valley Americana. One cannot stop exploring the amazing setting full of antiques, food, snacks, sights and sounds. There is also an impressive tree house that children can explore.

There is a new barn on the site that was locked but had openings in windows. The interior seemed to be a place that houses antiques that are yet to be placed in one of the settings of Bravo Farms. The main focal point is a large American Flag at the rear of the barn hanging prominently for all see. The time of day was perfect for the natural light to highlight the flag and add to the scene on the objects contained within. It was through a small window, of only a few inches, that I was able to take this photo. The environment was full of items from times past and a feast for the eyes. I a glad that I finally stopped and actually explored.

The eye-catching dazzle design is in honour of the patterns that were first used on vessels in World War One. They worked by ‘baffling the eye’ and making the ships difficult to target. Each ship’s pattern used unique colour and monochrome designs – to avoid making classes of vessels recognisable to enemy U-boats and aircraft.

The Dazzle Ferry called ‘Everybody Razzle Dazzle’ is the only operating dazzle ship in the UK and the design has been commissioned by Liverpool Biennial, 14–18 NOW the First World War Centenary Art Commissions, and Tate Liverpool in partnership with Merseytravel and National Museums Liverpool. Supported by Arts Council England, National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and Department for Culture Media and Sport.
