Winters in my location can offer a range of conditions, from freezing cold nights with frosts, to mild and sunny weather that has one wishing that every winter would be like this.
June 2013 rewarded us with some fogs, often a welcome change due to the quietening effect of the water droplets in the air and a weather event that provides some otherwise unobtainable opportunities.

Every year schools run fairs and fetes as fundraising and community building events. In Toowoomba The Glennie School Fair is ranked as a ‘must attend’ event on many people’s annual calendar.
Set in a park-like stetting under shady trees, it attract thousands of visitors. The colour, bustle, stall and even a side-show alley to rival many larger events.
Here is a sampling of what the day is like, from early in the day before the crowds, to the excitement of the rides.

The Toowoomba Agricultural Show is a big event, drawing exhibitors from across southern Queensland and Northern NSW. While I originally went to photograph people in side-show alley, numbers were so down that this plan was scuttled.
However, there are always interesting things to photograph and here is a small selection. Next year I will be more proactive with the animal exhibitors and work on getting some interesting poses…the people that is.
