I love August in Edinburgh when the city fills with performers from all over the place. I enjoy going to a range of shows and I also enjoy the people watching. A section of the Royal Mile becomes the gathering place with buskers and performers handing out leaflets and trying to catch the attention of potential audiences. I captured these two for my look up and down pair this week
It was a hard choice picking just 2 – other possibilities were
* a sleeping man with a plastic chicken on him
* jugglers
* a white ‘statue lady’
* people dressed as a blue whale
* a man with a fox tail and ears
* various balloon creations (they all seem to involve more balloons and twists this year)
* a ‘princess’ wowing a young girl
* flags and banners
I do love the madness of the Fringe and the creative buzz.

The Fringe gets quite a bit of attention down here - along with the comedy festival. No doubt you had many colourful choices!
It must be so exciting!
Gosh, I can feel the buzz and crackle from here! That second one spooks me slightly!
I love these!!!
This week I'm hoping to get back to blog reading and commenting. An injured leg and stomach virus sidelined me a bit I'm afraid! I enjoyed catching up today!

Very 'Fringe-ish'!!

It sounds like a lot of fun! Maybe someday I'll get to Edinburgh.
