Minnesota Renaissance Festival / Sunday, 08-18-13


Well, it's Minnesota Renaissance Festival time again! It runs every week-end from mid-August to the end of September. I wasn't planning to go opening week-end, but I had a change of plans and stayed in Minneapolis. Opening was Saturday, August 17...I ended up going out there on Sunday, 08-18-13. Below are a few images from Sunday... Click HERE or on "Minnesota Renaissance Festival 08-18-13" toward the end of this post and it will take you to five different photo galleries from the day.

Alison Scott / Lake Harriet Bandshell / Minneapolis, MN


On Thursday, 08-15-13, I headed down to see Alison Scott play at the Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis. This was one of Minneapolis' free music in the parks concerts. It had been a while since I last saw them. 
I almost made the ride to Lake Harriet to see her play one week earlier, but luckily I saw her e-mail and caught the correct date which said it was one week later. I had charged up my batteries and everything was ready to go the night before....sure glad I saw the correct date beforehand.
They played from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm with a very, very short break half way mark. I knew I had to get all my shots early because once the lights were turned on inside the bandshell I figured I wouldn't get anymore. All the lighting was directly overhead....I was correct...
It was a very nice evening to listen to some music in the park :) I'm glad I went to see them play.
There is a link to more images posted on my website after these posted images toward the bottom of this post.
