Melbourne Zoo Visit

It had been many years since my last visit to the Melbourne Zoo and I was impressed by the way it has evolved.

The challenge was to photograph some animals through fence or glass.

I would like to share my favourites with young and old.

Visitors to the Belgrave Lantern Parade line the Main Street for the start of the procession.

They came from all over Melbourne - an estimated crowd of up to 6000 people.

The parade - led by fire twirlers - began at 5.30pm to the sound of drums.

Local icon Baba Desi leads the belly dancers.

Belgrave Lantern Parade 2013 - Part One

I was asked by BELGRAVE LANTERN PARADE to take photographs at their 7th annual Parade. It was my first time at the event and I was delighted to be part of it.

Belgrave Lantern Parade artists have been helping the community make lanterns with their program of workshops and demonstrations which lead to the annual Winter Solstice Parade in June.

PREPARATIONS

By 4pm Saturday 22 June 2013 last minute preparations were carried out at Belgrave Library -
fixing of lanterns and handing out large existing lanterns to volunteer carriers.
