Taken for a bit of fun as it seemed a waste not to take the opportunity to get some pics of this going through my village, but felt like a pap as got pushed by a security guy once (cos I think he wasn't sure if I was gonna take a left into his space when actually I was about to take a right), and grabbed by another for no reason that I could find other than for him to stop me getting in to prime position for the torch 'kiss'. No blame though as they have a tough job, and 'pro-looking' photographers are a good outlet to take out some frustration! :bonk:

A mix of processing applied and credit to Ryanboy''s cross processing action. Still use it, still love it.

C&C welcome...

good set, good spot of the guy on the roof and I especially like your close-up of the kiss and the heat waves
 
Great set. I particularly like the last one- all waiting patiently

Thanks. That's the chairperson for my son's pre-school and I think I caught her a little by surprise!
 
Some really good pics and a couple of quirky, like the whole set ... had a chance to hold a torch this morning as one runner was on the street locally - was surprised how light it was.
