  • Photo Trip to the Fair

    Photo Trip to the Fair

    Well a lot has been going on lately. After Covid-19 took me out for a couple weeks, I am back on me feet and getting things done. I have started a new website: Sooke Photography Adventures, and have big plans for that. For now the only part that much is happening on is the photo club, where we hold monthly meetings and have photography adventures. Stay tuned for more of what I have planned in the not too distant future!

    This weekend was the Luxton Spring Fair, and I arranged for the photo club to attend it and spend the day and evening photographing anything and everything we found interesting. Here’s a sample of what I saw.

    Besides the daytime blacksmith and antiques, there were all the midway rides, which ran late into the evening. These presented great opportunities to have some fun and be creative.

    As with most every fair there were all sorts of vendors at there and I couldn’t resist a small bag of those little doughnuts. Mmm, they were just as tasty as when I was a kid! I didn’t try any of the other food there, though, as I tend to look at it in a negative light.

    Sooke River Bridge Graffiti

    There is really only one way into town, and that is taking Highway 14 over the Sooke River Bridge, but just because driving over the bride keeps the graffiti out of sight, it doesn’t mean it’s not worth checking out. Once you step off the sidewalk and onto the path that leads under the bridge, you catch your first glimpse of it.
