Como Octoberfest

For some people, October is a excuse to celebrate, drink beer and have fun….under the title of Octoberfest.  Honestly, I don’t know the history of Octoberfest and should probably look it up.  Maybe I’ll do that soon… or maybe not. 

I took this photo in the past at a local Octoberfest in the town of Canonsburg Pennsylvania.  Perry Como was born and lived in Canonsburg, so they have a statute of him in front of the City Hall.  He doesn’t normally have a hat, but apparently he got into the Octoberfest spirit for the festival.

Pick A Duck

Here is something a little different for you.  I took this photo at a local Octoberfest last fall.  We had some friends over and decided to check out this festival.  On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being “Super Cool” and 1 being “Extremely Lame”, I’d say this specific festival would be a 3.  It only scored that high because we had our friends with us who made the day enjoyable. So I tried to make the best of it and capture some interesting photos, which wasn’t easy at this festival…..  Thus the close up shot of this carnival game…..

Canonsburg Lake Sunset

I know, I know…..another boring sunset picture.  I realize you’re getting bored of these.  Please stick with me, even when I post boring stuff like this. 


I took this 7 exposure auto-bracketed HDR photo last night.  We had a very strong rainstorm run through the area about dinnertime last night.  Following that, it looked like we’d have a nice evening.  So I threw my stuff in the truck and drove up the road to capture this photo and just watch the sun go down.

Independence Day

In the United States, it is Independence Day.  We celebrate the 4th of July every year with parades, flags, barbeques, family and lots of fireworks.  I took these pictures tonight in Canonsburg PA.  I probably should have gone into Pittsburgh for the big show, but I got lazy.  Regardless, Canonsburg put on a nice show.
