..... but makes for a nice photo op anyway. I got home and I was thinking, ahh, December, Christmas is coming.....no wait, it's still November!!

This is the Myer Christmas Parade, Melbourne Australia.

Parade waiting to kick off. I believe the person in the dark suit on the right of the flag (just behind it) is the CEO

Them gigantic screens don't always seem to photograph well - some of my other shots have the screens horribly blown out or only some pixels lit, when in fact it looks fine viewed by the human eye

All of the above - 5D with 24-105 f/4L. Didn't bring any other lenses.. I'm not a working PJ who needs to carry the whole sack of glass :D (the working ones certainly did - all of them with the great classic combo, 16-35/24-70/70-200)

Constructive comments always welcome!
