The Play's the Thing

All this week's photographs have to do with the word play or a play on the word. First are the politicians playing to the crowd, then come the football players, followed by the kids, young and old, playing dressup. And finally the University thespians playing with Shakespeare.

State Representative Gary Haluska and challenger Brian Tibbott participate in a "Meet the Candidate" night held at the Cambrian Hills Country Club.

The football players - Congratulations go out to the Glendale High School football team on their first winning season in over twenty years. On to the playoffs.

Northern Cambria County by Air

This week's blog was shot from a 2-seat helicopter as I was flown over the Northwest corner of Cambria County. The pictures comprise the four towns and two school districts that make up this part of the county. These first twenty-one pictures are just a small sample of the over 250 photographs that I took. The four pictures of the buck were shot in our yard. This was his third visit, that we know of.

Several years ago Spangler and Barnesboro consolidated to form the borough of Northern Cambria. We have used all three of the names to identify the pictures.
