May 23 to June 1, 2002.

July 7-13, 2002

These images represent a portion of the more than 500 pictures I took at the Madison County Fair. During the event I received a parking ticket from the London police. Their temporary no-parking signs were probably illegal, since they weren't of a nature to attract attention. Dozens of people parked where I parked, and probably no one saw the signs. All images were taken with the Minolta Dimage 7 digital camera.
