Edinburgh Jazz Festival Carnival Parade

I decided to go into the city centre to experiment with my external flash by taking pictures of the parade.  I was really busy at the parade, but I managed to find a good spot at the top of the mound.  There were many great costumes and performances, but my favourite was the Chinese Community.  I love this photo looking down the mound at the Chinese dragon.  I have included a few extra photos to give a better impression of the great atmosphere at the parade.
