Street dancers

A masked parade was on when we arrived in Nelson this evening! About 20 schools had groups portraying something - Alice in Wonderland, Star Trek, Finding Nemo etc. also adult groups like these happy dancers! It was fabulous and I was transfixed for an hour watching!

Three good things:
1. I did not join the dancers and make a fool of myself.
2. We smiled at a little girl in the crowd trying to join the dancers.
3. My photos turned out a lot better as I had remembered about digital and optical zoom!
Wonderful capture!! I love the movement in the shot!! Looks like great fun!!

What I find most amusing about this shot besides their happy faces, is that the store names behind them go along with the merry atmosphere!
