About the photograph.
While covering the Bristol Pride parade through the city centre, I have been trying to find anything interesting to take photos of. I spotted this guy with the angel wings on his/her back, it got my attendant because the top parts of the wings stood out from the crowd. So I tried to get a good framing, but that was as best as I could do.
I think they paused during the march, to get some drinks from Tesco, but it was a very hot weather, I’m rather surprised that the lady with the hat, opt for what I think is coffee, unless it’s tea, from a takeaway nearby. The others are just checking social media or texting.
By this time I took the photos, I would be roughly about halfway through the parade.
About the event.
Bristol Pride is an annual festival held over couple of weeks, promoting equality for the various LGBT+ people, with a march through the city at a weekend.
The Bristol Pride started life in 1977 as a fundraiser for the local LGBT community, and evolved into an annual event held every year. There was a gap of only some years between 1994 to 2010 when it was restarted.
The 2022 march started at Castle Park, near Castle Street. The route took them past Cabot Circus, and went around the major shopping area by using The Horsefair and Union Street, and as they went down Union Street, they headed towards Castle Park. When they reached Castle Park, they turned into Wine Street, went into High Street, and into Baldwin Street, headed towards the A38 which is Anchor Road. This route took them into Canon’s Road, and ended up near the Bristol Aquarium.
The march was said to take about an hour, but as a photographer whom would go back and forth, up and down the line, looking for good shots, it took me at least a couple of hours to complete the route.
After the march, those whom bought tickets, can attend an evening musical festival at The Downs, approximately to the north-west of city centre. I did not attend this event, and by the time I got back to my friend’s home, I was worn out from the heat.
