Saltburn Folk Festival

Once again the Victorian seaside town of Saltburn by the Sea played host to the annual folk festival.

The event is held every year over a weekend in August and gives the opportunity for lovers of all things Folk to visit the town and listen to a variety of different folk musicians as they play - either at organised events held in different venues throughout the town or at impromptu jamming sessions that take place when the musicians gather in the various pubs in the town.

This year was no exception as many hundreds came to listen to the traditional folk music or to view the Morris dancers performing in the centre of town or to listen to the local Fishermans' Choir from Marske.

I can't claim to be a huge fan of folk music but live, raw music is always worth listening to and with good weather, a good vibe, some good music, and plenty of real ale flowing it's well worth checking it out next year- good pictures to be had around the town also.

Supercars

The throaty rumble of high powered engines and the smell of petrol, oil and hot rubber filled the air in the usually idyllic Wilton House in Wiltshire today as a procession of top-end sports cars made their way slowly over the gravel tracks within the grounds.

The event, which saw around a hundred of the worlds fastest and most expensive sports cars in attendance was held to raise money for the Caring 4 Kids campaign and gave an opportunity for the general public to get up close and personal to the sort of vehicles that are beyond the means of most and are normally only associated with the rich and the 'glamourous' set - No sign of an economic downturn here!

Surf Photography Blog update

Due to my current landlocked state and the lack of surf photography opportunities where I am working I have decided to remove, temporarily, my surfing photography blog until my situation changes and I actually have something decent to post on the blog.

Hopefully this will be sorted soon and I can get some surfing pictures done - as well as getting a surf myself!!!!

Keep checking back for updates.
