Thanks!  No, today was the last day, and it could not get put back on 
the schedule.  I wish it could have, because while I was editing what I 
shot I realized how much I had missed.

Those are really nice.

I made the decision to shoot at twilight/dusk/night because I wanted to 
see the Midway lights against the dimming sky, but looking at yours I 
can now sure think of a lot of things I could have shot in the daylight.

One pretty good photographer friend suggested I use a flash at the fair 
at night.  I didn't, but I can see what he was thinking.  It might have 
made for some interesting effects.

Maybe next year...
