Sweeps festival

[Calzor Suzay]

I'm going to try and make a more concerted effort to actually post photos on TP rather than just waffle so here's my first lot

My local City council (Rochester) do a pretty good job of milking what ever tradition and custom they can find to bring the tourists in, at the end o the day a lot of it is fun, these are from the Sweeps festival (Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot behind and have some fun. The sweeps’ holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year. Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester)

The rest of the set is here.

They'll be holding the Dickens Festival in a couple of weeks, although I'm not sure I'll be able to make it.

I like these. Really natural and great compositions. My favourite is the second one.
