Dragonboat Festival Bigfork Montana 2012


tribal paddlers

What a lovely early fall day to gather on the lake and 'unleash the inner dragon'. First I've heard of this sport, and thought it enchanting and, well, pretty tribal to pack 20 paddles in a dragon-headed canoe. 


Thoroughly enjoyed the throngs of people participating and spectating as they passed through the 
Curried Myrrh tent, dressing their heads and elevating the art of temporary skin adornment with henna, gilding and harquus.
Thank you to all who passed through and purchased head gear and gilding...
