Persongalleriet #770: Notting Hill Carnival, part 10

Time for my first blog entry of 2018 and it's also the last one from the Notting Hill Carnival, which took place on August 27th last year. It was a hot day and lots of fluids were necessary:

Jan and Peter.

We kept the small group together for a while...

...but an hour into the streeting, both Peter and Jan were lost in the crowd.

Everybody seemed to be aware of the need to keep the fluids level in check!  ;-)

Eventually, Jan called me and we met up before going to the Street Photography Festival in the evening. Peter was not answering his phone, though...

We just needed some more of those precious fluids first!

Be well, everybody!

Here's another batch of Carnival shots. Something to heat us up during a bitterly cold winter's day!

Be well, everybody!

Persongalleriet #749: Nick Cave and Notting Hill Carnival, part 3

Yesterday, me and Sam, my youngest son, went down to Stockholm to see and listen to Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Didn't bring a camera to Stockholm and not even the phone into Stockholm Globe Arena, where the concert was. I wanted to concentrate on the show and we were far away from the stage anyway.
What a show!!! So so powerful: heavy rocking songs, meganoise, soft piano playing in a great dynamic mix. Sometimes even all of these elements in just one song.
To compensate for the lack of freshly shot photos a bit, here are links to the blog posts I wrote after we saw this band in the US back in 2014. A different experience completely, since we stood right in front of the stage. Post 1 in B&W and post 2 in colour.

Well, this is a photo blog after all, so I'll show some more photos from Notting Hill Carnival also!  :-)

A lot of green colour in this carnival, in a show of respect for the Grenfell tower victims and their families.

Be well, everybody!
