There was a big fair in Ocean City (MD) the weekend we were there but the day we went was super cloudy and rainy. So I didn't carry the big guy around; instead, captured a couple of shots with my G11. Mostly though, I had fun and didn't take too many photos.

May Day is celebrated as Labour Day round the world and the Red Flag is the international emblem of Socialism.
My father was a lifelong socialist and my mother told me that she sat on the back of a lorry and sang this song in Wolverhampton before the Great War, when her uncle was a Labour councillor. It's in my genes.
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyr'd dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high,
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to the Say Mayday group today, at the suggestion of Mount Fuji Man.
It's been a while since I have posted anything military related, like Sep 2020 going through my page. So, lets change that, here are some Aggressor F-16's blasting off from Red Flag 11-02 back in January of 2011. The blue along with black are my favorite schemes, what are yours?
