Delfest 2016

Photos from Delfest 2016 are posted.  It was a great festival and the weather was hot and sunny, except when it wasn’t, but what is Delfest without a little rain.

All of the images have failed to load.

This is most likely a TimThumb permissions error.

Go to the Justified Image Grid settings, TimThumb & CDN tab. Click check permissions then click 0755 or 0777 to see if that works (or do it manually via FTP, on the files and folders it lists there in case chmod fails). You can disable TimThumb with the 'Use TimThumb' setting and the option 'No'.

Also read the troubleshooting guide in the documentation on what else to do, especially if you are using Hostgator!

If you are using a Better WP Security plug-in go to the Better WP Security settings, System Tweaks, Filter Suspicious Query Strings: Disable

Tip: Install the official WP plugin 'Jetpack' by Automattic and enable 'Photon'. Jetpack enables you to connect your blog to a WordPress.com account to use the powerful features normally only available to WordPress.com users. It's an excellent TimThumb alternative and will make your images load faster. Note that you won't be able to use special effects due to cross-domain security limitations. It'll also make Justified Image Grid high resolution display or Retina ready by devicepx.js! Read more at: jetpack.me

Eiffel Tower of course
The Eiffel Tower (of course), and a 13-metre red Eiffel tower made from 324 chairs temporarily set up under the watchful gaze of its big sister to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the landmark.

Country Music Photos

Merle Haggard

I added a section of country music photos and will be adding more soon.  I was really excited to see Merle Haggard for my first time.  He still sounds great and I can see why he is a legend.  I have seen Peter Rowan many times, but am always drawn in by his great guitar picking, wonderful songwriting, and of course his amazing voice.

Netherlands

I added a few photos from Amsterdam and the Netherlands.

I Amsterdam Sculpture

Street Art

CopI added some street art photos from Amsterdam, Reykjavík, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, and San Diego.

It’s interesting to see how street art and graffiti styles are different around the globe.
