Dodgy picture time!


For Wordless Wednesday and others!

.
0Last Thursday I headed north to Leeds to attend a concert by the Andre Rieu Orchestra. It was an evening I’ll never forget, we laughed, we sang, we cheered and waved, some danced!

I took pictures on my mobile phone and being some distance from the stage, the quality is not up to my normal standard, but I thought I’d share them anyway!

I took a few very short videos, some just a few seconds. They’re here if you’re interested!

Huge thanks must go to my 3  kids who organised the whole thing for me

    Wowzers! You are on a roll Keith. First the Dubai expo and now this fascinating concert.

    I love how you edited the pictures and added a splash of notes. How does one do that – the notes I mean?

    Have a stellar week ahead. I miss #WW

      It’s all go, Natasha! Missing you at WW!

      As for the notes, I snapped a piece of white paper, opened it in the Ribbet editor, added note stickers to it and superimposed the photos – if that makes sense!

    Always great to see and hear live music! I’m glad I’ve been able to go to more concerts again, too.

      You are so right. I’ve been watching his orchestra on TV for years, and at last I’ve actually seen it!

    Oh! I’m also a huge Andre Rieu fan, I love his concertos and shows I get to watch on Youtube. It is awesome that you get to watch him in person, that is grand! I love all the photos you shared, Happy WW, Keith!

    These are so cool, almost surreal. Doesn’t look like people were dressed for the snow. I love the balloons!

      Thank goodness the snow wasn’t wet! Cheers, Colleen.

      It was incredible. I travelled hundreds of miles to attend, and it was so worth it!
