Default Kansas State Fair...

Monday I went to the fair just to wonder around and capture a few images. I came away with a couple of hundred and some were even OK. Here are a few, I have more on my flickr page. Thanks for viewing.

It was a great day. I have been to the fair in one hundred degree (F) heat and in the cold rain. This day the temperature was marvelous. The people were nice and the vendors were busy selling their wares.

Thanks for viewing. Drop on by my flickr page for more.

Interesting array of shots. Looks like a fun day. The stuntman in your first shot is my favorite!

All the fun of the Kansas State Fair. A great selection Tom, here and on Flickr, where incidentally people should visit to get the full impact of these wonderful and varied pictures. They include further action shots of my favourite here, the equestrian acrobat team, well done mate

Thanks Dave, I thought the dog turned out well too. I would have liked to see more blue sky that day, but I don't have enough pull to fill that order. Thanks for the kind comments.

Thank you beach for the kind words and the flickr plug. I should encourage all to view beachcomber's collections on flickr too. Thanks again.
