Harvest Festival Redux

It has been awhile since I posted anything on this blog - too much time spent on the cancelled-the-day-of ansonia Harvest festival. For the non-paid position of Chair of the Ansonia Cultural Commission, trying to put on the event with the pressures of satisfying all and pleasing none, I am happy that the event had to be cancelled the morning of...a lot of interference from the previous chair and others (EDC?). I am not unpleased that the event was cancelled so that the many changes from the previous can be addressed and fixed.

As chair of the Cultural Commission, I need to know; have the autonomy and authority to work these events as I see fit - or not. Maybe this unpaid chairman might move on...

Whimsical Windows - Harvest Fest

Toby's fun meme, Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, arrives a scant six days before the event of the autumnal season event of the year (in our domicile of Ansonia CT, at least :), that being the Harvest Festival. This is the main event of the Ansonia Cultural Commission, of which I am a member compiling the metrics and designing the program book - as of today, there are 101 vendors. We hope for sun...The windows and doors are of our city hall all dressed up for previous Harvest Festival, awash in mums and pumpkins. I, for one, am ready!

Whimsical Windows - Ancient, modern and current

Toby hosts the fun meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors in which we look for portals and other architectural tidbits of interest. Yesterday, our small city of 19000, Ansonia, had its yearly street fest harvest Festival where vendors of all types, including food, were all over. Along main Street in the municipal parking lot, the bounce house and other children friendly diversions. Of interest is the variety of buildings: at the top, is some industrial building from 1905 now used as a warehouse and the 1970s office building on the left. Neither building is really unique, but show the passing time. The amorphous shaped bounce house offers no artistry, as the four year old does not yet yet appreciate architecture yet...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Sunny and Fair

Chrome

...and whitewalls

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and a seemingly favorite subject of mine is old vehicles, primarily from the 1950-60s. At the Ansonia Harvest Festival a couple of weeks ago, a small car show was on Bridge Street, and I spotted this ruby beauty. I seem to trip over 1955 Fords as well as the similar 1956 - all suitable for shadowy pursuit...

Long and low...

Different eras and style - 1956 Ford vs 1970 Dodge Challenger

This mildly customized Fairlane Victoria is styled to look low and long - in shadow and subject to. Plenty of chrome all over and as per usuaal practice, the photographer shows up a few times too - chrome is soooo reflctive!. Se shadowy art from all over at the always fun SSS2!
