Three Video Clips

From "Les Girls" Concert at the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival. I have never made much use of the video function of my cheap ittle digital camera but this concert was so much fun I decided to share a bit of the ambience including a clip of these two impromptu step dancers, Anyone know how to rotate that third Quick time sequence? Haven't the time for a trial and error solution.

To access motion pictures and sound click on my website above my picture at right.

With the festival over for the year

Ruth and I retire to the only uncrowded bar in town. This place is a bit out of the way and has no beer on tap. Nevertheless it has one of the best views of the Front Harbour to be had. From this vantage point we watch the Harbour Festival tents and bleachers being disassembled and Ruth takes this snapshot of the Cachalot, a local scallop dragger, returning to her berth.

The Stepdancer

This gentleman was accompanied at the concert by the blonde woman seen in the last clip. He started an impromptu dance at the foot of the bandstand and was joined by her.

Other lookers-on
