More photos from the photography field trip to the Celtic Festival in McDade, Texas.
Something new for me was the caber toss, a sport from Scotland. Those poles start around 65 pounds and are about 19 feet tall. If the tosser is successful at tossing it end over end before it hits the ground, in the next round they get to use a heavier pole.
Tammy lifted the pole up high enough that it did, indeed, flip end over end before landing. A round of applause for Tammy!
