The Little League Parade

Williamsport is a small town, and it compares to an average district headquarters in India. Yet, it holds this major event called Little League Baseball World Series every year. This is a baseball tournaments for teenagers, and most of the baseball playing countries are well represented. Since this is an international event, this little town braces for the impact. It gets its limelight in the form of press visibility etc.

This tournament was kicked off at a gala parade on the 16th of August. It was a fun evening, where most of the people from town landed on a narrow but long street to welcome the little-leaguers. Here are some photos i had taken of this occasion. Just wanted to share them.

First came in the Rolls Royces of the town. Is this a Rolls Royce?

There were several bands playing, and several teams of girls waving flags around. It was a lot of fun to see mothers holding their young kids close to them, afraid that one of the flags might hit their precious child.

This is one of the photos I had taken that day. I was trying to capture a moving object in low light. So, the shutter was left open, but I panned the camera to follow the person, adorned with shiny silver foil all over him and this is what I ended up getting. Do you like it?

And then of course, the fireworks.
