The queer women's meetup group took a hike at Zoar Valley in August with Albert Brown, an excellent tour guide who has been involved in the successful conservation and preservation efforts.

photo backlog: Infringement FestivalCategory: tourism
Like (e:carey), i have a photo backlog, but only since end of July, not last year!
I went to several Infringement Festival events... really enjoyed them. Such a crazy mix.
Albright-Knox - poetry slam in the courtyard. Photos of people reading poetry are not very exciting so I didn't post any.
This little girl posed for me as I took about 10 shots of her. She loved it.
Bellydancing in the theater
Firedancing in Days Park - awesome to watch, hard to photograph.

I love the fire dancing pictures (both kinds of shots), I admit I never thought of taking one in black and white though that came out pretty interesting.

Those office chicks have grown!Category: tourism
I had lovely adventures in Tioga & Potter counties (PA) this weekend. Here are some cell phone shots - some very nice real camera photos to be posted soon.
On my way to Blossburg Thursday evening, both the sunset and moonrise were amazing.
Hung out with Andy and Brenda (best bartender ever) at the Bear Ass Thursday night.
At the office Friday, Kelly & I checked out the chickens they've been raising. (see hatchings & babies (e:heidi,48491) and (e:heidi,48889)) The chickens are living in deluxe chicken coops and roam around the back yard of the office with roosters as guards. Some have just started laying eggs.
Kelly's special chick Silky
A shot of Nisha chasing a chicken from about a month ago
Uncle Dudley & Nisha
A had a gig in Germania, Potter County, PA last night at the Germania Hotel, built in 1859 by some guy from Buffalo. It's been in use as a hotel/bar/restaurant ever since. A ballroom was built on in about 1900. We spent the night in the hotel and then went to Germania Old Home Day, the fire company's big fundraiser. Marci, the bar owner, told us it's a big day of drinking and gambling - bingo, pull-tab tickets, and raffles ranging from $1 to $20. The event sign said they had discontinued the $100 raffle for the 2009 event. (Map of Germania
)
Germania Store. Rooms for rent. I've got some great real-camera pix.
Tractor pull at the Germania Old Home Day
The event poster - $5 raffle tickets are for a 46" Sony LCD tv that will first be used to show the NASCAR race live at 4:30 pm.
6:00 pm is "Pig chases for women and children" Unfortunately we had to leave before that and my real camera battery had died anyway.
A enjoyed his hot sausage. The fresh-dug, fresh-cut french fries were really good.

Great addition to my wall: The Income Tax Map: A bird's-eye view of federal income taxation for law students.
Lisa, her gf and I went to Anchor Bar and I found (e:MrMike)'s license plate. I really like the Hippeau plate too - is it Eau de Hippie?

Buffalo News article: :::link:::
The whole thing is complete bullshit. It was a tame event, mostly adults, hardly any kids, no underage drinking, and no neighbors for a thousand feet in a any direction.

That's a shame. Talk about chopping down any kind of progressive efforts and drag oneself down. Buffalo is one downtrodden abused poor dowager.

Some great shot of the gorge.
Oh, there's a Niagara Gorge hike scheduled for 10/4, I think. I can't go :-(
The hike was awesome, (e:Lauren). Zoar Valley is a very beautiful place. Albert knew so much about it that it was intellectually interesting as well as physically challenging. I was beat!
great pics above and below Heidi! That little girl is adorable! How did the Zoar Vally Hike go??
I once went to a very remote village in West India after a severe drought, and the shale formations remind me how desolate it looked back then.
Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!! :)
