Waiting for the Parade

Interesting inclusion to the overall scene. =)

After spending a while watching burned out hippies cavalcade on Congress in various states of undress during First Night a few evenings ago, I was reminded of this photo at Disneyworld. So, I went back to process it and see if it was as idyllic as I remembered. This is Main Street with the assembled crowds, as everyone awaits the big fireworks show and Disney parade.

One thing that caught my interest but basically has nothing to do with the incredible picture itself... what must all those kids who were sitting there so perfectly lined up have thought when you set up your tripod and the camera, not to mention the super large backpack... lol

Have a great weekend mate! You definitely brightened up my night!
Love that amazing flare on the right... still wondering how you always do that...

That is so surreal! Almost a cartoon within itself LOL Very cool bro! Happy New Year! You probably heard this a million times already but here you go:

My wish for YOU in 2009
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address!
May 2009 be your best year Yet!!!

Peace Salute from the videoke Nun and me! jeheje

Hi, I like the photo a lot, but I'm wondering what you mean by this part: " After spending a while watching burned out hippies cavalcade on Congress in various states of undress during First Night a few evenings ago, I was reminded of this photo at Disneyworld. So, I went back to process it and see if was as idyllic as I remembered"

I just was wanting to enjoy this part too

Thanks!
MS4 - there is this parade in Austin on New Year's Eve that is pretty cool - but it also has all these super-Austin types that are still in some kind of a reality haze... not that I mind that... it's just a lot different to see than the Disney one!

chiefblue86-circling_for_a_landing says:

Wonderful catch. Love the colors and the whole "fantasy" atmosphere. It's always fun watching a Disney parade.

At the same time, everybody, and everything, looks so "plastic" and, I guess, in a kind of "zombie" state like they were all cut from the same mold. This made me laugh. Reason being, Only reason because of your description about the "burned out" hippie thing, as if the juxtaposition of that image somehow "validates" or is meant to point out a "better" reality envisioned by the "plastic people" sitting on the curb waiting to be entertained, in what you referred to as a "reality haze" when explaining it all to MS4.

Anyway, not trying to make any social or political statements here, and certainly not trying to say one "reality" is better or more real than the other. I guess that's one of those "to each his own" kind of things not to mention that all of us seem to be defined, or are looking for, some kind of "mold" to fit into --- depending of course on the situation that prompts it.

That's what makes life, and people, so interesting I guess.

Course, we all know that the only real people live in Texas, right? nudge, nudge - wink, wink. LOL!

Isn't Flickr fun!
