... take a warm blast of pipers droning ...

... to that add a wee dramm of fiddlers sawing ...

... confound with a thunder of drums a quivering ...

... harmonise with a swing of lads a lilting ...

Fantastic! You've really captured the spirit of this event. Love the top photo.
Your pictures almost make me feel like I'm there! I like those dancing feet in the first one.
This is a splendid post, dear Julie! A delight to eye and ear. I'm doing a jig right here at my desk. Thank you for this glorious gift of words and images!
Fantastic photos! And fantastic festival! Many women playing huge instruments! Wonderful! I loved all the photos and their motifs!
These are fantastic Julie. Such movement and as Victor said you have really captured this well!!
As all the other commenters already have said: wonderful series. For some reason the photo with the violin on the woman's legs touches me most.
Looks like you had a really good time. Love the movement in the top one.
Back to blogging next week, I hope. Will try and put up some archive shots over the weekend. Then move on to a few holiday teasers, until I get the albums/travel blog sorted. Don't know when I'll get to take some new Sydney shots. Will definitely get some Strangers up over the weekend.
These are all superb, Julie. I can almost feel like I was there with you! What great fun. What great people. What great music!
And a great post!
A wonderful series ... I too like the violin on the lap one, there is something unexpected and beautiful about it ... the kind of detail you see so well.
Bravo, Julie! Thank you for pulling us right into the mix and weaving us through the the swirling patterns and colors, cacophonous pipers, fiddlers and drummers. What a rush! Splendid post!
I've been catching up your blog and I have to congratulate you on the fantastic posts, Julie! They are truly wonderful! I'm in awe of some of your photos!
Excellent photos Julie. All captures in the right shot .
Thank you sharing with us .
Looks like a great festival
That looks like a fantastic festival — and international too! I love taiko performances. Your first photo best sums up the energy and vibrancy of the entire event, I think.
What a mix! Scottish bagpipes, Japanese drums and Argentinian tango! About as varied as plants in a botanical garden.
Awesome set of pictures! You have perfectly captured the motion of the dancing feet in your first picture. I bet this festival was fun.
Fantastic series of photos, Julie. Love the closeup of the bagpipe player. Great detail on the stockings.
You drove us with few words throught these beautiful images. This time I make no choice, no favorites, the story can't do ithout any of these.
One of the best post I have evere seen and read.
Excellent, absolutely excellent!
Hello Julie
Fantastic pictures, nice colors!
greetings, Joop
