Shadow Shot Sunday: Street Fair!

April 18, 2009 | Filed Under Photo Blogging Theme Day | 33 Comments

I came across a street fair as I was running errands on Saturday. The day was beautiful and warm. Everyone looked happy to be outside. I find it interesting that there’s a gyro stand at every street fair I’ve been to. Of course, I found some shadows, too.

Stop by HEY HARRIET for more shadow shots.

Ed. Note: Several of you have said you don’t know what a gyro is. Basically, it is a Greek sandwich of Turkish origin. The sandwich is made from sliced roasted lamb, onions, tomatoes, a kind of yogurt sauce (called tzatziki sauce), and is served with pita bread. Delicious!

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments about my blog’s new look.

Talented nature photographer, web and graphic designer Klaus of Virtua Gallery is promoting a special where he’ll produce 30 designs in 30 days. I wanted a new blog look to usher in the new season and decided to take him up on his offer. I’m pleased with the results.

If you’re interested in a new look for your blog, go here to read about his offer.

Ed. Note: In case there’s a misunderstanding, 30 Designs in 30 Days means Klaus’ll make 30 different web designs for 30 different blogs (not 30 different designs for my blog alone).
