Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 17, 2015October 16, 2022 by David Barker

Some images from Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade here in Toronto. I didn’t mean to take these photos. It’s just that I had to go through the parade to get home and happened to have a camera in my pocket. Incidentally, the parade taught me a valuable lesson. In an attempt to get interesting angles and points of view, I set my camera on the pavement for some low shots. I forgot that the marching bands are all dressed in kilts. If I’d been shooting in Dublin, maybe they would have beat me up. But the Irish in Canada have learned Canuck politeness and only swore at me. Next time, I’ll try to be less pervy.
