Toronto Christmas Parade

Hello Guides,
All right with you?
 
I believe that most countries are already in the year-end mood and are following the various festivities.
 
Here in Canada, the Christmas parades have started. After two years without the events taking place, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic that spread across the world, the parades resume their activities to bring joy to the population of Toronto (the city where I live) and some other neighboring cities.
 
I'll leave you with some photos of this beautiful parade, which was full of inclusion with: wheelchair-bound musicians and interpreters to present sign language to the hearing-impaired public.

Rif.: Toronto Christmas Parade

Adoro le sfilate di Natale anche se mi devo accontentare di vederle da foto e video di altri Paesi, qui purtroppo non c'è una vera tradizione di sfilate per Natale,  non così imponenti come le vostre @GasparKaren Le tue foto sono molto belle ed è fantastico che ci sia anche un interprete della lingua dei segni. Grazie per la condivisione

@TerryPG My friend, you need to come to Toronto next Christmas if possible.
After two years due to COVID-19, they were able to hold the parade. My daughter was delighted.

Re: Toronto Christmas Parade

Nice Christmas Parade @GasparKaren The floats look better than the ones in Manchester.. plus there's a marching band too! Thanks for sharing this and it's always great to see Christmassy stuff from all over the world! I'm a big fan of the year end festivities! 😊

 

Side note: Some shots might be better in landscape orientation so do give that a go next time 👍

Re: Toronto Christmas Parade

Another post from @GasparKaren  which brings back memories, I know exactly where you are standing on University Ave. Used to bring the kids from Scarborough on the subway many years ago when we lived in the Toronto area.

 

@AdrianLunsong  has a great point of shooting landscape, it is so preferred on Google maps and Connect. You can see some great examples and photos from guides all over the world on @AdamGT   's     star albums here.
