Once upon a time, a mean snake charmer lived in a divided kingdom. His piercing eyes and stone heart spread fear around the entire kingdom.
Worried residents would walk around and pray with the townspeople to bring evil to an end.
Everyone’s lives were in danger because the snake charmer had help from Evilene, the evil witch of the south.
Early one spring morning, a good witch came to the main square and saved everyone from the malevolent winds that had afflicted the kingdom.
The enchanting king and his beloved wife were thankful their prayers had been answered. In return, they eliminated all taxes and gave townspeople new homes and more land to grow food. Everyone lived happily ever after.
Leanne invited Sarah to provide a theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness #10: People.

Remarkable photos of your renaissance fairytale adventure! Monochrome works great for this theme.
Egidio Leitao
Thanks, Amy. I thought the monochrome worked well, too. Your feedback is great.
Leanne Cole
These are wonderful and full of whimsy Egidio, what a great opportunity you had to get them. I love them.
Egidio Leitao
Thanks, Leanne. Public events, such as that festival, are the only time I photograph people. I am glad I could weave a story around them.

Egidio Leitao
Sarah, your feedback is very important and meaningful. I have difficulty photographing people in general. This challenge really made me rethink that. Thank you.

Oddly the images are not displaying for me. Even more oddly, via the Reader, it says there is no such post. 😒
Egidio Leitao
Margaret, it must have been a temporary glitch. Right after your note, two other people saw the post. I also had problems this morning. Only after clearing my browser cache was I able to see the post. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Oh what fun! I’m glad I went back to look again. Tremendous images!
Egidio Leitao
I’m sorry there was a little hiccup at first. Sometimes, I don’t know if it’s WordPress or my server. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. Thank you so much for the feedback!

I usually blame WP …
Egidio Leitao
Me, too.

I absolutely love this post Egidio. Your imagination created a cute story about a kingdom far away with the help of a renaissance fair costumes(?) and wonderful images. Wonderful work.
Egidio Leitao
Anne, thank you for this validation. I almost did not do this challenge. Then, I remembered my photos from the Renaissance Festival from a couple of years ago. I wanted to have a cohesive story to go with the photos instead of posting random images. Thank you very much!
Rebecca Cuningham
Renaissance festival? Great photos, Egídio.
Egidio Leitao
Rebecca, there are two major Renaissance festivals in Texas. One takes place in the fall near Houston. The other is in the spring and just under an hour from Austin. Thank you for the complliment.
