Bradford Festival

This weekend saw Bradford Festival in the city centre, and not having been into Bradford as often as we might, we went along.  It seems to be largely music-based with one stage in city park, and another at some unknown location, and then some street theatre scattered about the place.

I'd not say it was spectacular.  We enjoyed the folk band, would have spent longer watching the comedy science show had the heavens not opened ("Time for lunch?"), and enjoyed the surroundings of city park again.  The programme looked like it would get a bit more interesting later on in the evenings, and I hope it has been successful in bringing people to Bradford - all of the news about the fears of the media museum closing (30 years old this year) has got people rather irate.

We did enjoy being out and about as a family, and I enjoyed some long lens shots of my girl running about.  See below for details.

An indication of the changeability of the weather - unfortunately in this case the weather was coming from dead ahead.

Two of the street acts.  Seagulls and fish.  I didn't see whether or not they encountered each other and dread to think what might have happened...

A boy eager for his lunch, which he finally gets.  

The clock tower, just because I like it.

And the girl, running with her balloon...

...making a textbook landing...

...failing to make a textbook landing...

...and enjoying a well earned biscuit!
