I have one final day of St. Patrick's parade shots, and it's fitting to end on the day itself. Also have a peek over at my writer's blog, where I've got a St. Pats image post scheduled to go live when this one goes with my own warped sense of humour.
Crossing under the 417, Bank Street comes into the Glebe, and the rest of these shots reflect that area, around the underpass and south of it. That includes St. Patrick himself, who decided to wear shades for the occasion.
Love your photos and humour, William. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that truck in the first shot!
ReplyDeleteUm desfile com pouca gente a assistir.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

@Linda: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Kay: me too.
@Francisco: thank you.
@Beth: I am unfortunately not Irish.
@Janis: I am wearing a green t-shirt today.
I just today realized that our St. Patty's Day parade was held last weekend. :-(
ReplyDeleteLooking at the photos here and in the previous post, it seems that this was a very low-key parade event. Were there a lot of by-standers?
ReplyDeleteSuper series of St. Patrick's day photos William, I especially like the travel mode in the fourth shot 😊
ReplyDeleteBtw I'm not sure if you've noticed but since you changed to your new header shot the words and images are all squashed to one side of the page, which is a shame because it makes them much smaller. I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys seeing your gorgeous images a bit bigger 😊
...looks as though the cold day cut down on the number of on-lookers. Happy St Patty's Day.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful event, you made lots of great photos William!
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: ah, darn!
ReplyDelete@Beatrice: it was cold, but at the same time, I tended to photograph where there were gaps in onlookers.
@Grace: I know. I've been trying to fix it and center things since the switchover- the previous headers have always been centered and reasonably smaller, so the text has always been the same way instead of over to one side. I don't know what the problem is, but I'll keep at it. If I have to remove the header at this point, I'll do it, but I'd prefer not to.
@Tom: it did seem to have an impact on crowds, though I suspect there were more further south in the Glebe.
@Marleen: thanks!
I still can't believe how empty the streets are of people.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly found the quiet spots to take your pics! Good to end with the man himself!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vintage car in photo #6. Happy St Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a cold day by the looks of some of the people wearing heavy coats. Probably better to be walking to stay warm rather than riding. We had rain and wind during our parade today. I'll be posting some of those this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLoved the old car. I'm glad I'll never have to ride in one like that again; especially in the winter time with my father smoking a cigar.
ReplyDeleteAlways love marching bagpipers!
ReplyDelete@Sharon: it was a cold day, so that kept numbers down.
ReplyDelete@RedPat: I figured that was an appropriate end.
@Klara: thanks!
@Bill: I was glad I was able to photograph with gloves on.
@Mari: that old car really caught my eye.
@Kate: me too.
Lovely to see your photo's.
ReplyDeleteIt can't be easy to play bagpipes while marching/walking
All the best Jan
It wouldn't be!
DeleteWe had a parade here, too...I think.
ReplyDeleteOurs is on Saturday.
