Sundown on the 2006 American Folk Festival

The 2006 American Folk Festival ended today. These images were taken from the top of the parking garage which is the BEST and most UNDERUSED and CONVENIENT parking bargain in the city during the folk festival.

The rest of the images canbe seen here.

Also, if you do or don't find yourself on here, email me at jkirlin@gmail.com and I will delete you or send you your photo pronto. 

2006 American Folk Festival Day 2

Your lowly and humble photographic servant can't resist taking photos like this and you can't resist looking at them, you bunch of old jaded Grinchy Grincherson Gentle Viewers. So I will post them for you anyway.

More photos of the second day of The 2006 American Folk Festival can be seen HERE. 

Bad Pipers

Old Man: But ...but..I gotta get this cart to the front ga...
Bad Piper 1: LOOK OLD MAN! WE ARE ON OFFICIAL BAG PIPE BUSINESS AND WE ARE COMMANDEERING THIS VEHICLE!
Bad Piper 1: I'll sit up front, You drive. And Angus McAngus will cover our backs!
Old Man: But...but...a child....
Angus McAngus: SMOKE 'EM, OLD MAN! DON'T FORCE ME TO PLAY!

And more photos of it than you'd ever WANT to see by your lowly and humble photographic servant can be seen HERE.

Rite of Passage

This is my newly 18 year old niece sstout's tattoo. She held a gun to my head and made me post this to further rub in everyone's face that she's now an adult. Her parents are less than delighted at this first of presumably thousands of tattoos. I understand how they feel as parents. I once had 3 goldfish. None of which got tattoos.

Fire Breather

That's gonna take a Mentos. I wanted a photo from the front but didn't have my camera with the zoom or my pair of Dr. Hellfire's Asbestos Eyebrow Protectors®.

The Million Dollar View

The Chiputneticook Lake International Conservency Memorial Traffic Turnout and Scenic Overlook Overlooking the Locally Designated And Folk Loreishly Named "Million Dollar View" Incorporated LLC All Rights Reserved. *whew*
The Good folks at CLIC established this little turn out with one of those cool Tower Optical viewer things to enjoy said Million Dollar View...
...and the best part?
It's FREE!

They don't want your stinking quarters, half of which would be Canadian anyway and therefore not worth rolling. They just want you to see their pretty lakes. As opposed to...

The Twenty Five Cent View

This is Lincolnville, Maine. And above you can see the ferry terminal and the M/V Margaret Chase Smith.
Lincolnville Beach.
But you don't want to wake up next to it out of season. If you catch my drift.
Somehow I don't think my quarter is going to get me the Million Dollar View. And it SHOULD read, for best results remove eyeglasses and slowly back away.

Confessions of a Premature Epostulator

This is the version of the web shot that was supposed to accompany the earlier post with the pig. I had been advised by photoblog advisor torekimi to crop out the ugly white distraction on the side and posted it incorrectly.

Today's Tuesdays Photos theme of Network allows me to post the corrected version and now with The Thing of the Moment Lite you don't have the other poor cropped one staring your in your face.
