Summer Festivals - Alan Taylor - In Focus Summer weather brings people together outside to enjoy music festivals, county fairs, carnivals and religious observations. I've gathered here some recent images of these celebrations, including a flaming horseman in Kyrgyzstan, Bastille Day in France, a German fun park inside a former nuclear power plant, and much more.

50 Mind Blowing Sketches | Penny's Daybook | www.PennysDaybook.com Critic, “I’m an artist myself and” Argument from authority – always a logical fallacy, but even worse when it’s in a subjective field where there arguably can’t be any authorities. “I hate it when people who aren’t artists assume anything someone puts out there is ‘mind-blowing’.” – incredibly condescending, don’t you think? And besides, “assumes” that it is mind-blowing? “There were only a select few that were actually interesting and most of them were considerably unskilled-looking.” “Just because someone draws lines in a girls hair or shows the boobs doesn’t make it amazing.” “No, I am not bias towards any creative expression whatsoever but I don’t agree with just how ‘inspiring’ these are supposed to be.”

Storm Images/Photos/Pictures by Year A good bit of hail encounters, couple nice tornado days, a crazy supercell, bugnadoes, optics, auroras, over a million snow geese again, historic flood, etc.....not a crazy storm year for me but enough special events to be content. A year of all or nothing for me. Either caught a big time storm or just not much. Highlighted by crazy winter stuff early, Wakita tornado, Bowdle beast tornado, Dupree tornado machine and the world record hail producer near Vivian SD. A much better year for me and storms than the last few. Not a lot of good storms. Well, the good storms were pretty much over by May 5th. Not a fantastic year for big supercells, that is for sure. 1999 through 2012 I'd say it was the worst year to be a chaser. 2012 is competing for that spot though. 2005 was a harder year but had its moments. 2004 was hands down the craziest spring for storm chasers to chase during. 2003 was a tough year for me personally. 2002 was an interesting year.

Check this out on our Partner Network Creepy, Crusty, Crumbling: Illegal Tour of Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans [75 Pics] Hurricane Katrina killed this clown. According to the photographer, “An abandoned Six Flags amusement park, someone spray painted ‘Six Flags 2012 coming soon’ on the wall above the downed head. But they were clownin.’ Welcome to Zombie Land kids! Chained dreams of fun at Six Flags New Orleans, abandoned Jazzland – that’s what Six Flags opened as “Jazzland” in 2000. Some photographers can see past the lifeless amusement park’s decay and desolation, showing us that there is still a chance the place could be cheery and not cheerless. Like a Bad Dream. Just in case you don’t know the scoop on what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans and Six Flags, this photo is of New Orleans, LA, on Sept. 14, 2005. Unlike the bleak amusement-less park above, some photographers can still see and share with us the echo of magic in the abandoned theme park Six Flags – even 6 years later in 2011. Once upon a time, Six Flags was filled with children’s laughter – but now it’s sad, silent, and surreal.
