Everyone loves a parade. Thanks for the colorful photos, Muhammad. Looks like there was some rain for part of the parade (shiny pavement).

You did not disappoint with this set. Not that anybody would’ve thought you would.
What a fun gallery. The “angry birds” balloon doesn’t seem to fit in the surroundings. Lol.

hahaha…The street is too narrow for the parade and the angry bird baloons were everywhere all the way around and the spectators were too close to them too. I met many photographers kept complaining about this and I did too. 😦 . I am thankful for your sincere comment, my best friend 🙂
