The Town Crier, Wells - OR - comings and goings

As I spied him, the town crier was just finishing delivering his speech and ringing his bell.

I have no idea who his was saluting but I managed a quick shot.

The marketplace was full of stalls selling all sorts of goodies and we bought grapes, a chicken, leek and bacon pie each for lunch and some nardicots - what a strange name!
Well its you of course Hazel, he recognised the famous 365er street portrait photographer, lovely image full of colour and detail

Brilliant capture of the Town Crier and against the old buildings.We used to have one in Peterbrough a female with the loudest voice you ever heard I think she won a few competitions with it.What is a nardicot? I am intrigued.

Lovely capture, I've never heard of a nardicot so I had to consult Google :)

Nice capture and timing. I like where you placed him in the frame.
