From the album 'There Goes Rhymin' Simon' track 3.
Lyrics: C’mon take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there’s music in the street
Both night and day
I was so happy to see this song on the discography list given in the Paul Simon thread. Shot during my annual sojourn to the Philadelphia Mummers Day Parade which took place as scheduled on the first of the year. Hope you like it. Had a blast at the parade but did not shoot all that well and left when the mirror locked on the cam after about two and a half hours. Fixed it on the way home.
Happy New Year!

Terrific colors and pretty good composition. I feel like the whites are a little closer to neutral gray than white. Great depth of field. All in all, strong image!
