Dragon Boat Races

The 10th annual Carleton Place dragon boat races drew over 30 teams. The crowd of competitors was so large, it wasn’t immediately obvious if there were any spectators. There were: they were just over by the water watching the almost non-stop racing, and on-water shenanigans.

I had originally gone with two purposes: support my wife and her band, the Barley Shakers, and wander around looking for photographic opportunities.

Gorgeous weather, fun and eager competitors and lots of action are  good ingredients for an observant photographer.
