Woodhouse Feast

Year 2 Day 178
Took the kids to the fair that's set up at the bottom of our road. There's been a September fair here for decades, called Woodhouse Feast. Not sure if this is the direct descendant of that or not, but here's a photo of it from 1950 http://www.flickr.com/photos/thanoz/4372876896/
Had a great time and managed to snap a few pics of the fantastic sunset that suddenly appeared out of the rainclouds. Bitterly cold wind though. In fact that swing ride in the pic wasn't even operating due to the high winds

Love that bunting - you can see the wind is blowing (blimey - I'm bunting-obsessed).

[Autumn Eden]

Pretty shot! I LOVE the sky!

[Richard Tyson]

@judithg I crouched down in the mud and waited for the wind to catch that bunting so I'm glad you like it! My backs feeling it now...

[Helen Moss]

wow, this is really stunning - perfect combination of sunset and funfair lights.

[Graeme Webster]

What Hipstamatic lens and film did you use?

[Richard Tyson]

@gjw Lens : John S. Film : Ina's 1969. Find these work great with sky shots. Probably my favourite combo out of all of them.

[Graeme Webster]

Great - Thanks. I'll give it a go.
