mummer youth
the mummers parade is held each new year's day in philadelphia, pennsylvania. local clubs (usually called "new years associations") prepare elaborate costumes and moveable scenery, which take months to complete. this is done in clubhouses, many of which are located on or near 2nd Street in south philadelphia, which also serve as social gathering places for members. the mummers parade traces back to mid-17th century roots, blending elements from swedish, finnish, irish, english, german and other european heritages, as well as african-american heritage.

I really liked this upon first view ... I love it after viewing large. That is when this scene come to life. So vibrant, clear, sharp, and full of expressive activity. Nice bit of background, too.
Well done, my friend.
