What pictures best sum up the Games for you?

[Nighthawk]

Saw a thread like this here:

http://www.renaissancefestival.com/f...?topic=12930.0

It's on the Renaissance Festival forum. It was getting fun over there, so I thought it would be a great thread to post here, as well! Basic rules of the game- let's limit this to three pics or less, and the pics must be ones that YOU took!

So- what pictures best sum up the Highland games/Irish/Celtic festivals for you? I'll start with these:

Danny and Curtis trying to kill each other... After Dan's kilt fell, Curt ended up in the hospital!



And then there's Shannen- she was severely injured a few years ago, and still won't miss faire, regardless of how hard things are for her, and her attitude is always just bubbly- a real joy to be around!



And then there's the tent malfunction inspired "OH!! GodDANGIT!!" look!



So- how about it?

I enjoy the caber catching pics most.

How about XMarks Meet Ups!

How about the plethora of Kilts...


X Marks to stripe - Bruce Hunting to sett.

As a pipe band piper, any photo which shows a pipe band marching into the competition circle under the scrutiny of the judges sums up what Highland Games mean to me.

Here's The City Of Sacramento Pipe Band marching "up to the line".



(This isn't my band, it's just that I happened to have this photo.)

Or the fun of hanging around with fellow pipers!

Here are three of us after a long hot day at the Las Vegas Games:
