Morpeth Northumbrian Gathering

Technoblurb told us about this event in a recent post. Unfortunately he couldn't go yesterday but I went along. There were some real characters there. Here's a few samples.

The guy with the white hair was a terrfic story teller. He had the little kids enthralled. Because of the current climate I didn't attempt to photgraph the childrens' expressions.

Great portraits David, very well lit also and the expressions and their faces, lovely.

Yup! very nice.

Though I guess the owner of that second shot will not thank you for the spotty face

Some great portraits David, especially number four. Sorry I missed this, it looks like the weather was very kind.

I like 'Cap'n Hearty' best David, but 1 and 4 are good portraits also.

Thanks for your comments folks.
Cap'n Hearty is an actor called Ray Alexander who was portraying Sir John Vanburgh the great 18th century English archtitect and playwright responsible for Morpeth Town Hall and many fine English country houses.
I also photographed two 1948 vintage buses which ran a park and ride service into the town centre. I may post a couple of these in a seperate thread.
