Still in Fremont. This is one of those photographs I know has been taken hundreds of times before, still the knowledge doesn't detract from the sheer pleasure of having seen it coming and managing to grab it as it went by. The picture was taken at the Fremont Solstice Parade just under the Aurora Bridge. You can see the bridge in the image along with various members of the marching band, the crowd come to see the fun and some parade participants, all billowing forth from the mouth of the tuba.


No naked cyclists I'm afraid, through they are a prominent feature (any adjective connected with "naked" is bound to be risky) of the parade. Why cyclists? I think it is because they are harder to catch, though the Seattle police have started turning a blind eye in recent years - they have also taken to riding bicycles, though perhaps fortunately, fully uniformed.
