Rhetorical question...
I live in Calgary, home of the Calgary Stampede every July for 10 days, a major event that have attendance of over one million people over those 10 days...
They sell a Superpass that allows daily entry for a low price, I plan to take lots of photos and go in as often as I can/feel enough energy for, I also have booked three days off from work... Starting right now, I have five days off, five days that I'm pretty sure will be rather busy for me, the things I do on vacation days, what is relaxing?
Funny thing, I'm not a huge Stampede fan, not really, it's just a very large event for the fine art of people watching and street photography, plus cowboy hats, western gear, and ladies in very skimpy outfits (I don't really mean that last one )
There is a point here, I think I read somewhere that people with Asperger's need to watch activity levels, how many things we do, I often seem to ignore that and do way too much!
About a month ago, I had a very busy weekend, Friday night at our camera club banquet, that was pretty benign but still a time factor... Woke up early enough on Saturday morning, drove about an hour out of town for a large classic car show, lots of walking, barely even sitting down, drove back... Sunday was a large street festival I've always enjoyed, more time on my feet... By the end of that day I was starting to feel exhausted... Lots of photos later... But I wonder if I try too much... Maybe... I find that I even thrive from all the activity, up to a point...
One bonus photo from last year...
