This morning, we took off for Silver Dollar City, a turn-of-the-century theme park in Branson, Missouri that attracts millions of travellers each year. It has been chosen second-only to the Disney Properties for quality and was recently featured in a TV special. During the spring, SDC holds a month-long event called "WorldFest". They bring in acts and artistry from countries like Guatemala, Ecuador, Mexico, Russia, Argentina, Ireland, China, Trinidad/Tobago, Germany, and Scotland. The restaurants all serve
"Tastes of the World" - and the park is full of international colors and wonderful aromas!

Nice post...sounds like fun! I love the colorful dolls. threepeas · 2010-04-09: 19:54

Very interesting, and I agree, it sounds like fun. I have one of the Russian babushka dolls at home. My mother bought it on a travel in Sovjet in the late 80's Nice images! Ole365 · 2010-04-09: 20:23

I like #7 , ... #8 ! Shaparak · 2010-04-09: 20:50

Looks fantastic...I think you did AMAZING especially considering the low light and movement. Love that last shot of the two of you :)) lynnsgallery2 · 2010-04-09: 20:59

It WAS a fun day. I really like #1 - that was an excellent perspective on those flags and the cutout of the world. Neat series! lgnelson · 2010-04-09: 21:30

Absolutely fabulous!!! They're all wonderful, bright, entertaining and fun! I can actually do number 4! (maybe I'll do it for a PB photo- lol) My favorite is the last! What a perfect couple and, does Larry know how lucky he is??? I sure hope so! ????? · 2010-04-09: 21:36

Hi you two! This looks like great fun! My daughter used to collect those nesting dolls, brought back lots of good memories! DancingDolphin · 2010-04-09: 22:01

nice trip around the world giancaf · 2010-04-10: 02:38

Very good circus acrobats despite your difficulty in taking them . They tend to make me tense when watching them act. TFS I like the Russian dolls shot. MoMac · 2010-04-10: 06:55

Love #4 and #5.. ;) Ratcher · 2010-04-10: 07:50

Looks like loads of fun and great entertainment! Love SDC and hope to go there soon. This set is full of so much color and excitement :))) lookagain · 2010-04-10: 09:55

This sounds like a wonderful place to visit, and the pictures really re-enforce that. My one reservation was the "Tastes of the World" thing after you mention cotland, hopefully that didn't mean haggis or the "deep fried mars bar", (please, don't ask). You didn't mention England so you are safe from some of our exotic stuff ("jellied eels" say, or the now, thankfully almost extinct "pub curly sandwich"). ????? · 2010-04-10: 13:36

Impressive shots!! agandia · 2010-04-10: 15:31

Your photos are so good in detail, color, and focus. You captured their movement very well, even the one in the dark stage with no flash, that is so well taken. And you both are a beautiful couple!!!! Thanks for sharing, I hope to visit this Fest one day, looks so interesting. ????? · 2010-04-10: 18:38

Very colourful... love the Babushkas BwannaDon · 2010-04-11: 00:46

bonitos momentos en el circo..! fotosalicante · 2010-04-11: 06:13

Looks like a fun place! Climbing the sashes while playing the violin, you wrote Nana about that pretty girl? What a superwoman! That is almost too much from the talent category, don't you feel? atszabo · 2010-04-11: 12:02

Excellent set! I like that #4 is B&W, it adds to the beauty of the pic!!! thanks for sharing! ????? · 2010-04-12: 02:23
