Edinburgh Fringe - more photos!

Maple Staplegun and her hula hoops.
Great show! Even the way she set it all up was entertaining.

We just had a field day at the Fringe, well more like 1 full day and 2 half days.  I have no idea how many photos I took and am disappointed that I am unable to figure out how to share my videos.  But if ever you are close enough to visit the Fringe, I can highly recommend it.

So many streets are closed to enable people to wander and enjoy.

We were there from Monday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon and the crowds did not seem unbearable, and believe me, I hate crowds! Yes, there were plenty of people, but it all seemed ok.  Our daughter and some friends went for Saturday afternoon and night and they found the crowds completely unbearable. So lesson learned, go on the weekdays if at all possible!

This was so many people heading up toward Edinburgh Castle.
That looked crowded!  This was taken as we left, so we may
have timed our visit perfectly!

Here are some of the many photos I enjoyed taking to catch the feeling and flavour of the Fringe. Can't wait til next year!

There is a combination of shows and buskers and people giving out leaflets in all kinds of creative ways!

Of course I will have to add one of our son's show. This was not taken when we were there though.  His crowd ranged from only 8 to standing room only and turning people away.  I think if he had done 2 weeks, they would have been full after the first few shows. They were very entertaining!

We saw his show on the first night and went to Foil, Arms and Hog on the second night. They finished earlier so we were able to run to Grassmarket and photograph some of the fireworks.

Last year, we decided to go to the Tattoo and promptly forgot. This year, we intend to actually do that next year.  It does look and sound like so much fun. We did go about 20 years ago when my cousin came to visit.  So it is time to do it again!

So no more words, just photos. Hope you enjoy!
