I found a great spot to look at Blacksburg. Sometimes I go there just to relax and listen.
This was right after sunset, so the moon was still visible. It disappeared over the horizon soon after this was taken. I've taken a liking to long exposures. It gives me a chance to sit and admire the image I'm capturing with my own eyes rather than simply looking at it through the lens. This exposure was long enough that it even captured the darkened part of the moon.
It's been a long time, but I'm back. In a more permanent fashion this time.
Along with the past two artists I've written about, Tenth Avenue North performed that night as the headlining band of the tour. The crowd had the pleasure of only standing a few feet from them as they rocked the stage.
Not only was music shared, but also personal stories. Laying their hearts out for everyone to see, Tenth Avenue North became friends with their audience, eliminating the usual gap between performer and fan. 12-year veterans of the tour-circuit, they knew what they were doing. Great show, guys.
Audrey Assad is a songbird rarely seen anymore. She has a quirky, but cute, sense of humor. Her voice is no different on stage than it is on an album. She is touring with Tenth Avenue North as one of the opening artists.
