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!
ReplyDeleteIt must be so exciting!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I can feel the buzz and crackle from here! That second one spooks me slightly!
ReplyDeleteI love these!!!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
