Samhuinn is almost upon us...

[Famous Graham]

...so the Badgers (Beltane Processional Drummers) and I had a little practice event in Craigmillar called the "Bonefire" along with some weird puppets.













If you're in Edinburgh on Wednesday and have nothing better to do between 9pm and 11pm, come over to the top half of the Royal Mile and Parliament Square. Fire, drums, sword fights...and that's just the photographers.

Great pics - love the 2nd one

[V6GTO]

Great shots Graham, but I'm really getting worried about the company you keep...does your Mum know what you're up to at night?

Martin.

[Famous Graham]

I'll be painted up on Wednesday

[Qoda]

Ah! but will you be one of the FULLY painted ones?

[Famous Graham]

I won't be prancing around naked, no

Bit hard to carry spare lenses.

Royal Mile is the old cobbled street full of pubs and tourist traps that runs from the Castle all the way down to Holyrood - it's actually several names - Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate...depending on which bit you're on. Parliament Square is about 1/3 of the way down on the right in front of St Giles Cathedral

Nice pics

[fergusd]

Didn't quite make the whole event but managed to capture some of the chaos ;-)









Must try harder to make the time to see these kinds of things . . .

I think I want to be a drummer ;-)

My head hurts.

I gave up trying to spot you Graham!

What an ace night though, the guys must have put a fair bit of effort into the show, really enjoyed it

Fantastic stuff Graham, I've been looking forward to seeing these - cheers!

These are fab Graham, you do seem to have a knack for this particular type of photography.
