In support of my OCA course, I negotiated a day off from family to do some street shooting in nearby Stratford, to coincide with the birthday celebrations of Mr William Shakespeare.
The images try to tell the story from the start of the day, through the celebrations and onto the big clearup at the end. The weather was great, (nearly) everyone was in a fun mood and it turned out to be a good day.
So here goes....
....there's a party being planned.
Falstaff is plotting something.
The streets are being prepared.
The boys from the Shakespeare's school (King Edward VI) are gathering with flowers to join the parade.
The crowds are gathering in expectation.
And everyone was getting a view....
But some were not amused!
Now for the party
Happy Birthday Will.
We even had the Chinese join in...
But I didn't know wheelchairs wer around in the 15th Century....
The queen was looking happier...
... as was the Lord and his Lady.
... appropriate for the students of King Edward VI'th.
The afternoon was taken with a variety of relaxing activities, including recitement of some of the Sonnets from on board the chain ferry across the Avon. It all seemed entirely appropriate for the occasion.....
