Dizi's weekend of events

Been a busy girl this weekend, the first event I went to was on Friday evening to see the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at a party in the park event near to us, it was a real coo for the parish council to get such a special orchestra to such a small event (about 200 people according to the paper), they played a lot of songs from the last night of the proms so it was great fun

This is the view from the back of the crowd



This is the orchestra on stage



and this is Levi Roots, the reggae reggae sauce man from the series Dragon's Den



I also went to a local steam ralley today, pics to follow in the next message (for those who are interested!)

 

OK the steam ralley for those train spotters amongst you...

This guy was on top of a pole on top of a really really high crane





The engines



Don't know if this pair are married??



a steam roller...



a 3 wheeler...

sounds like you had a good weekend and the weather looked ok which was lucky , i think its good that people support local events , or at least thats my excuse to get out :D :D :D

 

was that bloke up the pole on a death wish or what :eek:

 

my neighbour (in the red shirt) with his diesel engines



And the scariest robot thing walking amongst the crowds...









As you can tell I was quite impressed with the robot

Finally a nice carosel

 

I think it's a great excuse Linda, and how the bloke got up the pole in the first place without having a heart attack is beyond me!

 

Hi Dizi. Looks like a great fair and no rain! Makes me look forward to the Dorset Steam Fair later in the year. That is a fantastic robot. Did it actually move by remote control or was it a static model?

 

It moved and talked, I took a (not very good) video, I will try to post it. Some of our lot recon there is a bloke inside but if there was you couldn't see him at all, I found it quite scarey!!

 

Even if there was someone inside it, it's still a fantastic model. I'd guess that if the operator was using a box of tricks to operate it and it couldn't do anything too complicated it probably is genuine.

 

Here's the video, hope it works OK

p.s. hope the weather is as good for your dorset fair

 

I can't make it play but that's not surprising, with my total lack of knowledge of computers. :(

 

Oh!

I wonder if someone else would be kind enough to try to see if it's my link that's the problem?

 

Try clicking on this picture see if that works any better, I have never posted a video before so I don't know if I'm doing it the best way

 

Dizi your photographs are brilliant and the video works fine got to be someone in that robot I should imagine it scared some kids to death.

 

Great stuff Dizi good days out and some great pics.Thanks for taking the time and trouble with the video,I am having a go myself.
Was the video taken with a point and shoot digital camera or a video camera?I had trouble uploading with Photobucket,but Imagshack was easy.
