Small Town USA Parade

Wisconsin

I love a parade, and there is nothing like this small town parade to warm your heart. People turn out from far and wide and line both sides of the street for about a half mile for this Fireman's Parade. Sometimes it is hokey, but it is so genuine that you just have to love the atmosphere.
In this photo, I left the parade watchers in focus because I wanted to show the ambiance of the scene.

l can almost hear the music of the pipes to the beat of the big bass drum.
Nicely done Cindy. A photo full of atmosphere

You did a fine job with this, Cindy. Your choice
of the DOF was just right. I feel like I am there.
