The fremont solstice celebration

(Click on a thumbnail to enter gallery.)

Fremont is a Seattle neighborhood just north of the city center.
It was traditionally a blue-collar neighborhood of fishermen, ship chandlers and boatyards. 

It became the hub of a thriving arts and crafts community and is host to an annual
Summer Solstice Celebration  -- music and dancing, food and drink, a huge street fair,
and a wonderfully goofy parade that allows only human-powered floats,
no commercial sponsors, and features lavish costumes (or lack thereof).

Alas, Fremont is evolving into a trendy city neighborhood.
Each year I fear that the Solstice Celebration will be the last one.

There are currently 93 prints in the project.  (CD available)
