Otherwise known as

"How to lose £500,000 in a week"

What nonsense is this?

Well, our town decided to stage an "arts" festival.
It (the council), organised the event, booked some very expensive acts, and waited......................................

Nothing happened. No-one bought the £25 a time ($50) tickets, to go to an unknown town to see these acts.

So, the council dropped the price to £18.............. Nothing.

They dropped the price to £11.............................. Nothing

They dropped the change totally then, and people took as many tickets as they could, totally free.
Then, some of these same people SOLD their free tickets on Ebay..........................
The townsfolk payed in taxes, of course........................

Anyhow, the results, (for me), were a few odd images. The first of these, "balloon girl" is here: Big Grin

This would really be a super photo if you cloned out the tether wire or hid it somehow. That would give it a fantasy sense of danger.

Neat shot, Rufus. I like the composition with the trees and the balloon. The subject dead center works extremely well here. Funny, in most of my pictures it doesn't. :/

Yes playmates; it's a hippy playing a flute via a radio link.

Interesting "arts" event.. more like a display of crazy inventions... Big Grin

I like your shots, Rufus - the baloon girl is spot on, and the bubble man is very interesting.

I wonder what it's like riding inside that bubble thing... Big Grin
