Hear ye! Hear ye! The Medieval Fair season has begun. 2013-05-05 Seen yesterday at a small fair in Marchegg, Austria. Its first year, so no big crowds and the German "professional" medievalists were still at their fairs in Germany. This troubadour sang well (in Middle High German as well as modern German), played at least four different instruments, and entertained. Thanks for the comments on my shot of idyllic Lake Neusiedl

A 1986 reproduction of a 1896 Violinopan barrel organ - Two sets of pipes, one sounding (somewhat) like violins. The musicians rotate while the music is playing. As seen at an Advent market in Vienna. Many thanks for your kind comments on my recent shots - much appreciated.
