Last month I attended the annual Saucon Valley Barn tour. This is the same organization I did the workshop with in spring. We had fabulous weather and a wonderful time. It is amazing to see some of the eclectic furnishings in some of the converted barns. The one home had huge sampling of Chinese art work (I wasn’t expecting to see that in a converted barn). The same home had a glass piece imbedded into the floor. It caught my eye and I included two images of the piece. When you look at the two images they are one in the same. One shot was taken from the first floor looking down towards the basement and the other taken from the basement looking up. I later learned the glass piece was used in sailing ships in the 1800’s to create light in the ship’s hull.

The 3 Jakes
On September 21st, I saw a friend/business associate perform at Bethlehem’s Godfrey Daniels. His name is Jim Gentile and his group is called The 3 Jakes. They are an eclectic folk rock band and this was there first appearance since 2003. The 3 Jakes last appearance in the U.S. was in 2000, when they opened for Little Feat at Allentown’s Crocodile Rock Café. As you can see they had the place rocking.

The Great Allentown Fair
The fair and agricultural show is held at the Allentown Fairgrounds in Allentown PA. It is operated by the Lehigh County Agricultural Society. It is one of the oldest fairs in the United States and one of the largest in Pennsylvania. The first fair was held in 1852. There are so many photographic opportunities. It is sometimes difficult to decide where to point the camera. This is part one of two posts. These images are all in color. The next post will be all black & white.
Wheels of Time
Last weekend I photographed the 35th Annual Wheels of Time Rod & Custom Jamboree. The event is held every year on the weekend before Labor Day. The Wheels of Time Street Rod Association is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the art of street-rodding. The place is filled with amazing colors. During my visit, I was more focussed on some of the event’s activities and the components of the car, rather than the car itself.
