at the entrance to the Sheraton

This was the scene at the entrance to the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Toronto on Friday morning... i have no idea what they were celebrating, but it sure looked like a ton of fun... they were dancing to the beat - you can see the drummers...

i was across the street, and it was difficult to get a clear shot with the traffic going by... you can see a cyclist photobombing this one... at one point, the photog placed himself in the middle of the street - presumably to get a wider angle...

anyway, it's not entirely a hodgepodge, but the entire scene was just so unlikely and having just read the announcement of the mad minute word at the time i was taking this, it was the first thing i thought of...

gallimaufry: noun, plural gal·li·mau·fries. Chiefly Literary.
1. a hodgepodge; jumble; confused medley.
2. a ragout or hash.

I absolutely love this. The bike, the photographer, the red garb, all of it. A ragout of hash indeed. Fav

Solstice maybe? Doesn't look elaborate enough for a wedding. But maybe it was just one part of a multi-part wedding celebration.

I love the way you've captured the atmosphere and the movement in this photo. My guess is also wedding. But who knows for sure?

What a fantastic candid photo - love all the movement - think the bike adds to it

This is wonderful! What a great event. A wedding perhaps? Reminds me of being in India. So well captured, and agree with your choice of colour here.

This is a wedding, the guy in white at the back center has the red garland around the neck. I love the dancing guy and colours? You? brave :))))))
