Pictures of a folk dance festival

This afternoon I happened across a folk dance festival outside the Scottish Parliament on the way home. Spotting a chance to take different photos (i.e. not of swans or ducks) near home I rushed off to get the camera.

Turned out it was a good choice. I managed to get quite a few good pictures like this one, which captures the movement really well.

I’ve the rest of the month off work!

Well that sounds a lot better than it really is, as there are only 5 working days left this month. However I do really need a rest from work and some time with the growing pile of books in the in-progress pile.

There is no solid plans for this time away from the office, just a tentative plan for the first release of my Rails Configuration Management Database (name still to be decided) by Thursday this week. I’ve now been working on it for about a month and it just needs a review, some minor cleanup’s and then more importantly; I need to decide on which open source license it will have before I can do a the first release.

I’m also wanting to have some time out with the camera and I’m hoping to get some pictures that are worth uploading to Flickr and also posting here.
