Berkshire Botanical Harvest Festival, day 2

[fbhjr]

As the tent was all set up from the day before we could actually wait until sunrise to leave on Sunday morning.

When we left, the weather service said it was 32F/0C at the festival site. We wore our winter jackets.

There were places where the fog was running down the mountains like a river. If I saw it in a movie, I’d probably call it fake.


It was like something out of the Twilight Zone.



But, we got to the Berkshires.

My wife points out it doesn’t say "welcome". We speculate those words appear if your car is worth our annual salary or more…

It was still foggy in the home town of Alice’s Restaurant.


You can see the festival up there on the right past the traffic light, right?


The sun was working on the fog and did banish it not too late in the morning.


The new guy, wife and kids were there for all of day 2. That helped a lot.


Plus, there were goats. My wife loves goats.


Once the fog burned off, it was a very nice day.

It got up to about 70F/20C. Not bad for this time of year.

It got so warm, our new guy took off his armor. (Day 2 I never put mine on.)

OK, I find the photo amusing…

We got good crowds for our shows.


I like this photo of inside the tent with the shadow of the trees on it.


After only 7 hours of almost continuous sword demos, it was time to go home.


The one traffic light in Stockbridge was quite backed up with everyone leaving.


We did OK getting the tent packed up and loaded quickly. We even managed to get on the road before the sun was totally down.


It was a nice day there.
But, tiring.
Glad to be back to the desk job today…

I love the last picture and all of that color. Gorgeous. I am glad the second day went a bit better than the first. =)

Is that actually made of metal? O:

Oh yes, it is made of steel.
It weighs about 22 kilo.

Wow, I hadn't expected it to be so malleable!

The fog looked very cool. I too love the photo from inside tent.
Glad the show went well. Hopefully you can get a bit of rest sometime this weekend.

I like goats too!

I'm glad that the dog cleared up into a nice day. I can see some autumn colour coming through!

That fog is incredible!

Love the tent against the sky.

The colours in that last photo are amazing.
