Jump for joy

The last thing I expected to return from London with was a set of Morris Dancer shots but here they are with St Paul's Cathedral across the river behind them. The other troupe were rather more colourful and I probably took better photos of them but but I wanted the London context without the audience dominating too much so this is it! Keeps you fit all that skippetying.
Three GT:
1. Home in time for excellent Thai food at next door's party.
2. The storm seems to have been and gone in half an hour here (possibly famous last words)
3. Texts from Rachel en route to Vanice.
A very unusual yet iconic scene. I've now given up dancing with my folk dancing friends from St Neots, so no more quirky shots.

Good perspective and an unusual backdrop

Cool!! They look like they're loving it!

You were loyal to London then Judith but actually the colours here are lovely with the rather dull day we had...my lighting is very off on some of my shots specially the water ones! This has a rather Dutch feel to me for an odd reason!

Great shot of the action.

Wow you captured this beautifully, the movement is perfect and I love all their funny angles and expressions, great shot.
September 15th, 2013  
This would make a great jigsaw, there is so much of interest to look at. I like the iconic skyline in the distance too.

ooh err rosette's front and back on the shirts....is that normal judith...nice backdrop to the morris men

They look like they are having a great time! Lovely background with the cathedral!

@phil_howcroft I am not well versed in these matters Phil - you need @boxplayer!
September 15th, 2013  
Looks like a very lively and fun scene! Great background.

Oh I wish samba was our national dance. Actually maybe northern soul should be. It is in Wigan anyway
September 15th, 2013  
Great action shot with St Paul's in the background. They were a lively bunch, weren't they!
September 15th, 2013  
Ah Morris Dancers. They always render me speechless. ;)

@fueast We don't have the hips for salsa...
September 15th, 2013  
@fueast Or samba
September 15th, 2013  
Great action shot - what really strikes me is the poster overlooking them!
September 15th, 2013  
@taz_o I cropped a bit off it - sorry! Rather dominated the scene.
September 15th, 2013  
Wow very energetic and that man at the front looks like he can dislocate his knee!! Lovely for you all to have a meet up (you are rather good at the social side of 365!). I was based within a stones throw of St Paul's when I was nursing at Barts. Brings back lovely memories.

@lucypics This lot could have done with you on hand!
September 15th, 2013  
@judithg only good at prostates! Mind you some look old enough .......
September 15th, 2013  
Great - lots of energy and movement in this shot
September 15th, 2013  
@lucypics All of them...
September 15th, 2013  
Great with St Paul's - some strange leg movements you got there.
September 15th, 2013  
what an unusual bunch
September 15th, 2013  
Great capture
September 15th, 2013  
@humphreyhippo your comment made me laugh

Great shot of them being skippety (my new word of the week, going to see how many times I can use it in everyday speech.)

September 15th, 2013  
Am wondering too why men are wearing those um -- er -- rosette pasty things on their fronts. And backs?!?! Must have been fun to watch - they look enthusiastic!
September 15th, 2013  
What a rich and engaging shot. Love the background too
September 16th, 2013  
Wow... what a scene! They look like they are really into it! Great shot!
September 16th, 2013  
They do look fit and festive. Would love to have seen a shot of the happy 365ers photo bombing this group and joining in on the skippety moves. What fun you all must have had with your together in London!!!
September 16th, 2013  
Wonderful exciting action shot!
September 16th, 2013  
Love their energy and enthusiasm!
September 18th, 2013  
What a fab shot of them and so unexpected.
September 19th, 2013  
Brilliant. Nice crisp shot yet you still get a great sense of the movement. Great backdrop xx
