Post Your Own: Parades, Carnivals, Festivals, Street Parties

I can't post anything from the Leeds Caribbean Carnival from 2022, because I fell over and broke my arm before the parade started - but here's a few of my favourite shots from other public stuff over the years.

It's easy to be 'lazy' when going to these events, and I certainly was the first couple, but each year I push myself harder to get into the events rather than shoot from the outside.

Local carnival next weekend - first proper outing of the camera this year, looking forward to it (hope the weather holds).

Carnival was good, first time I've been out with the camera for ages (in fact, pretty much since I broke my wrist last August).

Very much a record of the day rather than any shots I'm super happy with, but good to start getting my eye back in.

This is my favourite shot
