The Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon Park was great fun. Here are a few photo highlights:


Three wizards: Saruman, Gandalf, and Radagast? No, not really… but the wizard on the right is the very same guy who got made fun of on national television by Late Night With Conan O’Brien’s insult comic dog, Triumph, at the Star Wars premiere!

Let the joust begin!

Here are a bunch more pictures:

Dane, commenting on the post containing his earlier report, provides an update on post-Isabel life in the D.C. area, where he lives:

Although we are still without power here, many locations around are coming back online. Most of the downed power polls and trees have now been cleared from the roadways, although there are still some areas that a bit treacherous and we are still under a water boiling alert for a few more days. I’m going to check to see…how my camera batteries are doing—I might be able to get Brendan some shots of mangled power polls before they are fixed. Well, that’s all for now, I’m going to try and get to the Apple store tomorrow and to try and recharge the lap top a little.

Thanks again for the update, Dane! I look very much forward to those photos, if you’re able to get them — then you can be BrendanLoy.com’s official D.C.-area photographer, in addition to being the Washington bureau chief! :)
