GCRF Photos

[fbhjr]

The vast majority of these photos were taken by ravena_kade who was willing to share them with us. They are great photos and she was very nice to let me use them.

Thursday morning sunrise was nice.


But, there were random snow showers all day.



By the time my wife reached Virginia it had stopped.


ravena_kade’s train.


Our rental car in NJ.


Traffic stopped on 95 for as many minutes as the highway number.


Dawn at a South Carolina rest area.


Passing the Peachoid.


It was nice to be in the sun and warm.


Lost on the back roads of Alabama.


The Gossage Building, destroyer of tents!


Sunshine on the pavement of the faire.


A short path to Sonny’s Barbecue. Does it have gators?


My wife gets help with her costume.


Put palusbuteo in the bag, historically!


I like how Ravena caught the bending of the swords when they meet!


Using the new swords!

This style does some big lunges.


Historical fighting often leaves people tripped up.




Fighting with my wife.


She’s got crabs!


I’m not sure I like this photo of me and the crab.


My wife and I team up to get Palusbuteo some fruit.


New guy is lunch.


How did they get here?


Having soft ground is not a bad thing.


I also got fruit. But, I still think the hat is cool.


The king and queen were very impressed.


Her favorite sin is…


Fire!


Her tongue was on fire, even if only the heat shadow showed up.


This fire showed up.


I don’t normally use the fire sticks. Maybe that’s why I have that expression on my face.


My wife looks very happy with her fire.



She has fans.


You really have to be careful how you hold the sword when it is pointed down.


More fighting with my wife.


Dinner at Sonny’s.


The staff goes to great lengths for group shots.


Day 2 sword fighting.




HE DOES LIVE!


A great shot of the death of a coconut.


No more coconuts will die if my weapon is gone!


My wife on fire!


Blue_micha on fire!



My wife does seem to like those meteors.



Last performance of the faire!


Moonset over Pensacola.


Later, I would think this was where I lost the camera.


Crabs, they got them!


Happy Blue_Micha day!


My wife was happy to get her bucket of rum. Really.


Evrgreen, here is your photo of the crab waitress!


Drink enough buckets of rum and you start wearing them.


Or, hanging from sharks.


Walking on the beach along the Gulf of Mexico.


Ready to head home.


Going through Atlanta it turned sepia. Maybe we did it in the 50’s?


The sun was shining in South Carolina.



But, clouds waited up ahead.


This looks like my car, but with goose scarring ads on it.


We ate dinner in the shadow of the Peachoid.



My bad photo of ice on the road.


It was not clear just how many people went off the road on the ice.


Middle of the night in Maryland.


Dawn in New Jersey.



Crossing the mountains in New York state.


Across the Hudson river!


Proof I did not do all the driving!


YAY!


Salt covered car.


Going to the car wash!


Clean again!


Lunch at O’Connors!

Yay Photos!

You all look so fabulous in your costumes. And I know I've said it before, but I'm going to have to say it again - you're tent looks so fabulous - it really does.

How do they clear the train tracks of snow? Do they have a special thing that clears the tracks after a big storm or do the trains stop running until the snow melts?

I love how happy everyone looks - you all look like you love what you do :) it really shows. It must make for some wonderful performances for the audience.

Thank you!

I'm sure my wife is happy about the tent feedback. She wanted a tent like that for 10 years before we got one.

They do have special plows to clear the snow off the tracks. And, they can add sand to tracks to increase the grip too.

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

Please pass that on that I think she did an awesome job planning that :)

"put palusbuteo into the bag, Historically!"

Made me do a spit/drink laugh :D

[pallid-regina.livejournal.com]

Looks like a great trip! I'm so sorry we missed it but so glad it appears to have gone well!

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

I am also very sorry you two couldn't make it! It would be nice if you could have been to one where it was warm and sunny! You certainly have earned some nice weather!

The show did go well. We've gotten a lot of good feedback on the Facebook from it.

I know the odds you'll ever be in the area are small. But, if you are, certainly feel free to stop by!

[chris-warrior.livejournal.com]

omg, you guys look great!!!

nice photos!

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

gorgeous pics!!! You obviously had fun!!

[hotclaws.livejournal.com]

great slide show

[evrgreen.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!

Great pictures and I'm glad to see that you all had a good trip with nice weather (at least while at the faire) for a change!!

Even with a smaller group than you wanted to have for the job, it looks like everyone had a broad set of skills and abilities and you still provided alot of variety in the show and plenty of entertainment!

Were those Sand People at the faire? WTF?!? Maybe they'll have Klingons there next year - once that starts, they can be like cockroaches..

[meathiel]

That looks like fun!

I’m not sure I like this photo of me and the crab.

It's very cute! :)

I should have made a child with more thumbs.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

But, if you're all thumbs you can't hold a sword...

[newlifeinstpaul.livejournal.com]

Nor could she open her mom's front door to let in some strange dude from down the street that DOESN'T BELONG THERE when she's by herself--so yeah. I'm all for more thumbs.

[ravena-kade.livejournal.com]

so happy you liked the photos

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

They are fantastic!
Thank you again for sharing them!

[hindustar.livejournal.com]

Yay That looks like it was an awesome trip and an awesome show!

Wow! Very cool. Your photos reminded me that there is a Celtic Faire in our area this weekend. I really wanted to go, but it's so expensive for me, C and 4 kids to do something like that. I did take my kids to this particular event when we first moved up here and they loved it. The live jousting was fabulous!!

[charliemc.livejournal.com]

GREAT photos, Frank!!!

Love you in costume!

(It's been years since Marilyn and I really did anything in costume, aside from Halloween... boo hoo...)

(hugs)
