In Pittsburgh this past weekend, I spent most of my time kissing my sweet little niece.
I did come across a family festival though... and after dark, I wandered back to photograph the bonfire, but forgot when I heard bongo drums and saw that there were a bunch of what I will call hippies or gypsies, (I don't know really, don't mean to be ignorant, they all seemed to be barefoot with dreadlocks.) They were performing with fiery swords, rings, and so on. The air reeked of kerosene, and the first three rows arranged on the grass were all of those kids.... I'm not sure who thought this would be a great idea.
One performer wandered up near the front of the grassy "stage", held up a helium balloon, and a small flame, and then he did THIS:
That was about enough for me, but I didn't see parents saying "Ok, time to go".
Sadly, the performers did not seem successful when they attempted to pass the bucket and collect a few donations.
Random thoughts, which I post while I am pretending I am STILL age 39.99999! Join me for my next 40 years...
