graduation in purple

These two ladies were bringing up the rear of a graduation procession walking to Winchester Cathedral. I liked the purple shoes and hat.

[Boxplayer]

Great colours.

[Robyn]

Neat pov and colour

[wendy frost]

A great capture and find and with a lovely colour too.

[Beryl Lloyd]

I wonder what attracted you to take this shot ? -- could it be the colour ? Great pov and capture Hazel !

[Joyce]

Great colours, well captured Hazel

[Claire]

Oh she is so co-ordinated

[Sam]

How lovely that she has colour coordinated :)

[Arthur Loosley]

They must have known you were coming Hazel, and dressed accordingly! Well captured.

Arthur, I really wanted a shot of the procession as it came towards me but was too cowardly to take it! So this was a good compensation!

[👑 AnaZad]

Great capture of the procession. I love how they get dressed for the graduation. Purple must be the color of the institution.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Wonderful slice of life shot. They look like they are in robes - do you think they might be faculty?

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very observant, Hazel. Those purple shoes match nicely with her gown. Great candid shot.

[Rosie Kerr]

A very fun candid... the purple pops! I am too cowardly to take a lot of these, so well done.

[Penelope Ann]

Very swish

[Hazel]

@teiko

You may well be right as I only know what I saw, Emilie.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely capture Hazel and well done to the ladies.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Margaret Brown]

Love those robes, fab pop of colour

[Steve]

ooh my favourite colour

[Hazel]

@scarybird

aha, that does indeed make two of us!

[Steve]

@quietpurplehaze Hazel my favourite flower is a purple allium but they have such a short flowering period

[linda]

love the matching shoes

[Pat Knowles]

The lady on the left has co ordinated beautifully! You could join in there with your purple preference!

[Vicki Dixon]

such a nice shot...love the tradition

[Julie Duncan]

Rather Harry Potter-ish! So cool!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I am guessing that even though they are bringing up the rear, they have some clout since the rest are wearing black gowns! I like the shoes too!

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I saw this on the "browse by day" page and the purple just jumped out at me! This is terrific!

[Catherine W.]

Very cute and Lovely shot!!!

[Kathleen Hickey]

Gold braid on one lady too. I suspect they are important. Love the picture!

[Leah]

I suspect they are important as Kathleen says above!!! But this photo is so funny!!! Great find and capture!!!

[Susan C Clow]

Great capture and never too old to learn and grow. I too love the purple shoes and hat.

[Hazel]

@scarybird
