Montford Music and Arts Festival

Nina and I went to the Montford Music and Arts Festival in the Montford neighborhood in Asheville today. I'm still getting to know my new camera, so I took it along and tried to remember to be on the lookout for photo opportunities. There were a few interesting things to see, but I mostly wanted to capture the fact that people were enjoying themselves.

Here are the results. Right click/open in new tab to see bigger.

















As you can see, a good time was had by all.

Well, except maybe this poor kid, who had the only tear-smeared face I saw all afternoon, and was bawling conspicuously:



I'll leave you with a sampling of the toe-tapping bluegrass music we heard, from a band called "Cat Dragons."

looks like a cool festival. what kind of food did they have? also looks like u r using that camera BUT r u using that bike or is it still in a box?

Rakewell said...

The bike is no longer in the box. I put it back together on Monday--at least mostly. I had a few little parts left over, and I couldn't get the brakes and derailleurs adjusted quite right. So yesterday I took it to a local bike shop to finish the job up right. Should have it back by Tuesday or Wednesday in tip-top shape.
