Err That'll be my seat...

Better late than never.

Took this on the 10th according to the exif, lovely hot sunny day (so far removed from the weather we've been experiencing lately) local fate full of the usual.

Saw this old dear sat waiting for the brassband to set up, no idea where she'd got the chair from as it was the only one

Looking at it now it bares a passing similarity to pixelpixel's entry which is no bad thing in my book

Apologies for the border though

Re: Err That'll be my seat...

I really like this zone

I would of liked to see some more of the band, but as it is, it definitely feels british, even with the french/dutch border

Re: Err That'll be my seat...

Definitely British

I like your use of the nifty fifty to throw the band out of focus and the flags (buntin) are also a nice touch.

I would have been tempted to either move the old lady or yourself so that she didn't have that man growing out of the top of her.

How much did Colgate charge for the border?

@ that border!!!

Great shot though and sums up the theme for me. I am going to try and ignore the border and i'm adding the shot to my shortlist!

The border is... Nice.
