Summerfest!

Can't believe it's already Summerfest weekend. Time is flying by. The dark clouds on Friday evening formed the perfect photographic backdrop. I wandered about with my camera in the last hour before sunset. Great to absorb the small town atmosphere, see old friends, and capture some of the sights. I really have a thing for food concession stands. Think it has to do with the sparkling lights but they also remind me of play houses in a way.  Will post more photos over the weekend as time permits. Stay tuned. If I photographed you, watch for your portrait here!

I love the lights and colors of concession stands as the sun begins to fade away.

Even in BW, the concession stands really pop out in the darkness.

I love the small pools of light that spill off of the concession stands and illuminate the ground around them.

There was something faintly disturbing with the arrangement of prize stuffed animals at this stand, they way they were hanging with their feet dangling.

I really enjoy events held on Main Street that allow glimpses of the historic storefronts in the background. Great atmosphere.
