Egyption Whirling Dervish – 2014 Lowell Folk Festival


photo365 – Day 236

Yasser Darwish founded the Egyptian Celebration Company in NYC to share the culture of Egypt. I had always associated the ‘whirling dervish’ dance with Turkey but clearly I was wrong. Still photos don’t do this performance justice; you have to see it live. The piece you see above his head started as a multi-layered ‘skirt’ and then he maniuplated it around and over his head.

Peter Wolf – 2014 Lowell Summer Music Series


photo365 – Day 235

This was a show I was looking forward to all season and he did not disappoint! He was constantly in motion with an agility of someone 20+ years his junior.

Despite a few too many ‘F-bomb’s from the stage for a family-friendly venue and embarrassingly bad behavior of some obviously drunk audience members this was a very enjoyable show. I would see him again in a heart beat!

Sadly, yet another ‘no real cameras’ show (Seriously? WHY?) so my shots are poor.

Not a word, not a single word


photo365 – Day 232

We had an annual tradition in my high school, ‘Hat Day’. I trust that I don’t need to explain the subject of celebration that day. 😉

I’ve done a fair bit of poking fun at my old friends in these #TBT shots so I thought it was time for a bit of turn-about. Man, my hair was short in those days. 😉

Secret Caverns – Central Bridge, NY


photo365 – Day 231

We had already seen Howe Caverns and someone suggested we visit ‘Secret Cavern’ just down the road. What a blast!

The entire place has a rather tounge-in-cheek attitude; very much the polar opposite of the Howe Caverns experience. For example. they encourage you to touch the stones. The cave itself is much smaller than Howe; there is a bit of ducking and twisting to get through some spots. They also turn the lights off behind the group so don’t dawdle or your be in the blackest place you’ve ever experienced!

It’s well worth a visit. I have more photos from my visit here: http://bit.ly/secretcaverns2013
