Nice shots. Was it busy at the west end?

[xkekeith]

Not too bad, plenty of room to swing a lens and still selling entry on the gate.

Very nice, Keith. As you said, it was relatively quiet in the West end. I think the decision to take from the West paid off. It has better backgrounds etc. The switch around midday gave opportunities for other angles too . THe only down side (for me, at least) was the sun pouring in to the lens when shooting to the East early on .
