a few of you knew from the past how much I've been wanting to go to the Renaissance Festival, well, i finally got to go to the Texas Scarborough Fair near Dallas last weekend :D totally luved it!!! ..even hubby tolerated it well, thanks to the lowcut bodices ;]

here are a few images from the event-
(one was of Penna's carillon (bells), posted earlier to a recent Simon Says thread)

the main image (left-click) is still terribly compressed due to the restricted 200k,
would've posted them individually, but didn't want to drag it out,
still good enough to see what can be done with backgrounds & composition

ttfn! :0))))

wowwww, i like very much this style of festivwl; medieval, renaissance..  Very good captures and excllent composition of color ;) well done and thank you for sharing  your photos

Hugs and kiss

I went to a Ren Fest last year and they're so much fun!  Love how people get into their characters and speakin' in the period  "lingo"  

Yes...Always a good time.... especially after downin' a few pints of meade!   (HEHE)

Thanks cyn, now I've got Simon & G music in my head. Get it out! Get it out! ;^P I used to work at Ren fairs at a booth of a friend of mine, and used to be part of a fantasy roleplaying group that would dress up and go camping and stay in-character for most of the time. Yes, I guess that is uber geeky, but we had fun and got to wear elf ears, lol. So thanks for the trip down mammary...oops, MEMORY lane Cyn. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, they can be lots of fun...and you do start talking like that after a while, heheheheh.

teehee.. the ears suit you! & a Vulcan salute to boot! // "Live long and prosper"

Heheh, glad you like. Try being an elf at a Star Trek convention...it ain't easy. He is a shot of some memeber from the group. Quite a motly crew, eh? "Aye, that they be..." :m_laugh:

Looks like great fun was had by all I must bear this in mind for any that come my way

These folks just travel around having fun. No snow! [Last summer on Wisconsin.]

misha!! hugzzzzzzzz :D sure looks like the same girl!!!

& the other again.. only larger.. she did play beautifully.. hubby sure enjoyed watching her while i was off taking pics of the fortune teller.. lol ;]

Yeah, that is the other fun thing about the ren fairs... the same people work most of them and travel around the country. So chances are you'll see the same people at a fair in CA, TX or FL! It was certainly the case with the harpist above! =]

Ye members, ye lurkers that be, go to the fair!

Fair, fair yet is fair Cynlee

Thanks for the shots.       Tom.
