Lots going on: music, food, entertainment but I didn't get to most of it. Day was sunny until dusk then clouded over.
Join others for (nearly) Wordless Wednesday here.
Hello and welcome to Friday's Skywatch post, It has been raining so very heavily now for what seems like forever. It makes it difficult...
That's great. I don't think we have that here in Portland.
ReplyDeleteHi Ken, you'll be glad to know they also have car free days in Portland. See here http://carfreedays.com/tag/portland/
DeleteI've looked at a few of your posts and thoroughly enjoyed it. Your photos are great and make me feel like I might have been there. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAw, that is a very nice comment. It makes me want to continue blogging ;-)
DeleteWhat a great idea, a car free day. Diane
ReplyDeleteYes it is an annual event which is growing in the city.
DeleteYou're welcome :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea ...
ReplyDeleteThe idea is certainly growing in popularity. What I like about it besides environmental benefits, is that it seems to bring the community together.
DeleteThis is a great idea. I wish all followed this.
ReplyDeleteCheck in your part of the world as this is an international movement.
DeleteHello Joyful. Great pictures you show. Thanks for the comment on my blog. Wishing you a good Wednesday. Hugs Hanne Bente
ReplyDeleteThank you Hanne. I wish you a great Thursday!
DeleteWhat fun! That second photo looks a lot like our downtown when the streets are closed.
ReplyDeleteA car free day is such a great idea. If only it would catch on.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of your day.
nice to get out and about, and photos too
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if every weekend was car free.
ReplyDeleteHello Joyful,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful event!! I feel a merry atmosphere there very well. Where is a young lady in a red tutu going?
Have a great day!

Sorry, but I can't comment with my URL. Please, can you make this possible? ♥
great pictures....what an interesting concept...bet we could all do that if we tried!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone1 I'm glad you all enjoyed the concept. Since Car Free Day is an international event, I recommend you check out whether you have such a day in your city or town.
ReplyDeleteGood Job, Penny,
ReplyDeleteI really like the first picture with all the people, stuff, and clouds.
Thank you, Brenda. There was such an air of joy during that day. People were happy to have an even to walk through, hear music, eat and browse at tables selling things.
