Pirates in Camden, Windjammer Fest, 2010

Last weekend, the raiders snuck into the harbor to the tune of a bagpipe.

And launched their attack on land.

But the Red Coats were ready.

And swiftly shot their cannons, while the onlookers took their own shots.

But the pirates had local support from various points in the harbor. (As well as support among the crowd.)

Casualities were few. Even those caught in the crossfire enjoyed the rest of the day.

The opening act for the Winter Olympics was held last weekend at the Camden Snow Bowl in Camden, Maine.

The 20th Annual US National Toboggan Championships glorified the spectacle of winter sports, but required a certain attitude.

It was a little bit Mardi Gras.

And a little bit fierce competition.
