Today I went to the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. Here are some pictures. I would have taken more, but the company that made the batteries that I bought on the way up to Grandfather Mt. thoughtfully shipped them out in a state of discharge in order to save me the trouble of running them down myself.
This is Grandfather Mountain. There is a park on top. You can see some of the buildings in the picture.
The Highland Dance competition is al
ways fun to watch.
As the bumper sticker says, "Highland Dancers love a fling".
I could not get my camera out and switched on in time to catch these fellows head on.
This is the first year that I can remember seeing people walking about with firearms. Swords and daggers have always been carried, but not flintlocks.
It is always good to see folks with guns.
It always warms my heart to see a father and son finding something to do together.
People kept complementing them on their costumes. They didn't quite know how to take that because this is how they dress every day.
BTY, I have an axe just like that.
What I go for is the music above all else. This is Hunting McLeod. They are very good.
