Ulm was encouragingly full on that cold Sunday morning in February. While the fantastic beings certainly sparked the interest and wonder of the children, adults were equally impressed by the parade and by those taking part. In this photo, one sees part of the crowd that had gathered along one of the street, waiting in anticipation of the next troupe. I would safely bet that none there were left disappointed.
This photo has been heavily cropped in order to get in close on the children standing at the front. Because of that, I lost much of the crowd on the right hand side, so I had to move them carefully back in behind the children. I played a bit more with the colour before calling it a day.

Hi Michael, Sorry for taking so long to view your latest photos but at last I have . The Ulm festival photos were interesting, I must ask my friend Crola who was born in Germany, if she remembers seeing similar parades as a child and young woman.
Washington did appear awash with tourists but then that’s understandable, a “must” place to see I guess. What a shame you hadn’t known about being able to get within the White House grounds, that would have been an experience for you.

Well, your post-processing has worked! It’s a great shot, very colourful.
BTW, did you know that Ulm is the home-town of Albert Einstein?

Thanks for the comment. Actually, it’s probably about the only thing about Ulm that is interesting (aside from the fact that it also has the tallest church in the world).
