There's an annual music festival near my house and the final day starts with an event called the "Fool's Flotilla," for obvious reasons. People get costumed up and fill the river with kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and anything else that floats and traverse the one-mile section of the river that connects two large lakes. This is one of those rare images that looses a bit by converting to b&w. The color is pretty spectacular. I'm including the color version for comparison.

The Blessing of the Boats?
"Smoke On The Water.....Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky"?
I love both for very different reasons Brent. The color adds some description of the "floats" that remain partially obscured in the b&w.
Super!

Wow, now that's a traffic jam. Better them than me as I'm not a fan of fighting crowds, but I'm sure it was fun to see.

Wow, what an amazing capture Brent, this is something you don't see every day.
I like the B&W version better.
