Saddleworth Rushcart

[watervole]

 Because it's my day for talking about folk traditions...

Here - with comments on each photo to explain what is happening - is Saddleworth Rushcart procession.

This is a modern rushcart - and the event is totally unadvertised and totally amazing.

 I took the photos last year.  I'd have gone again this year, but I'd already booked for Discworld and it clashes.

I took four short video clips - they're called Saddleworth Rushcart 1,2,3,4 if you want to view any after the first...

... "Because it's my day for talking about folk traditions..." - Your day, and these absolutely made my day!

*Clap hands* What a day - thank you very much!
Oh, I like that atmosphere so much, I wish I was there!( Here people are indifferent and instead of finding something to cheer them up, they keep giving up..).
The music alone just makes me hop!:-)
