    My views from Loon

    Well, it has been a week so without any more here are my views from the New Hampshire Highland Games at Loon Mtn:


    The hands of a kilt maker. Yes, the hands of Barb T. Mohawk Valley Frasers; Tartan = MacGillivay


    At rest, before the march to the performance circle. Mohawk Valley Frasers; Tartan = MacGillivay


    All the way from Yuma, AZ, The Yuma Sector Border Patrol Pipes & Drums; Tartan = U.S. Border Patrol


    Hibernian Pipes & Drums; Tartan = Irish National (and a Saffron (sp?) thrown in for good measure)


    A Tartan "clad" family and Lincoln police officer. Officer's Tartan = New Hampshire State.

    More to follow.

    But wait!! There's more from Loon Mtn:


    Tuning up. Column Cille Pipes & Drums; Tartan = Cunningham


    Pipe bag detail. Rhode Island Highlanders; Tartan = MacPherson


    Drones detail. Rhode Island Highlanders; Tartan = MacPherson


    Performing for the judge. Yes, many of the performance areas were on a sloping hill.


    Chanter detail. Highland Light Scottish Pipe Band; Tartan = Ancient Hunting Stewart.


    Piper and drummer before performance. Catamount Pipe Band; Tartan = Ancient Hume.

    So there a selection of some of the photo's taken at the games this year.
