This Was Hallowe'en, This Was Hallowe'en...

Some shots from the Samhuinn parade, selected for relative visibility:

The Cailleach, queen of the winter

The sun of the Summer Court

The snowflake of the Winter Court

Fire swingers with green flames

Stiltwalking monsters

The jesters were bloody terrible again. I presume this is their job. Anyway, the acrobatic Red Men and Women got many more and bigger laughs through the simple method of striking suggestive poses.

The segue between normal and green fire swingers was accomplished by inexplicable ninja attack. No good pictures of green-flamey White Ninja wrestling orange-flamey Black Ninja, so you'll have to take my word for it. Still, the green flames got the biggest "ooh..." of the night.

The swordfight was a bit slow and deliberate, but the clash did raise some sparks later on. Some minor axe play, no giant flaming morningstars this time...

The Cailleach is still unnerving, as she should be.
