11th July 2015 - The locals

We went into Ulverstone this afternoon and were pleased to find there was a Retro Revival Festival going on. There were lots of people dressed in retro clothes, classic cars and lots of stalls selling vintage clothes and bric a brac. In the town square there was a stage with some great live music. There was also a large gathering of Morris Dancers - a very strange English dancing custom. Normally its men with bells on their arms and legs waving handkerchiefs. This group of Morris Dancers were slightly different and had wonderful make-up. This chap was their lead drummer and was in charge of the group. I just loved his face and those fabulous glasses!!

Definitely best on black!!

Great find and capture. Now if it was me I would crop so just the guy and his sun glasses were showing then tag it for jul15words. Sunglasses. But that is just me.
