This is what we had all been waiting for; the well-trained men, carefully shaven from top to bottom. Somehow there were fewer of them this year – at least in my perception. At times I had the feeling that the spectators were most definitely upstaging the parade. That is what happens when events like this turn more political every year, I guess. It chases away participants who are “all looks” and no brains. What a loss to society!

And there are always those who like to blow a whistle in a crowd. This must be the well publicized boat with Dutch politicians, I assumed, but I was wrong.

Watch the girl in the center. She does not need a “SteadyShot Cam” or a tripod; she just pushes her tummy forward and leans on it with her free arm to support the arm holding the camera. A true talent, no doubt about that.
