 First picture of the day for January's where you live PAD.

Float from the Tournment of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA. I actually live in Valencia, CA, but this is close buy (40 miles).

I like the angle and the colours in this. The train really stands out from the sky.

Rich in yellow roses. The purple in the sky is a nice complement to the yellow train.

That is one of the most absolutely amazing parades on the planet. I have seen it on television long ago, but your photograph is a much sharper image. You had good positioning to be able to get this float so nicely, and all the settings were right.

Great angle. Love the colors. I used to live in Pasadena and we would go see the floats every year after the parade. Thanks for sharing.

great colors! and you captured it nicely. It's been long time since I saw a well organized parade. I bet you have many pictures.

Oh, I should specify. After the Rose Parade, they have all the floats parked at the end of the street (by the high school). For $7, you can get in and close to the floats.

I had my family with me (wife, 3yo, and 2yo), so it was set the shot, shoot, and move on.

I'll have some more pictures up on my website (//www.wingedrabbit.com/event/piclist.php?event=310).

I'm jealous, I'd love to be that close to such a great photography event. Those floats are amazing.
OK, here's time to fess up. I live pretty close to Philadelphia where the Mummers march ... do you think I've ever been there? And when I lived in Indianapolis I never went to the race.
I'm a loser. I'm glad you're not. Thanks for posting.

Wow you must have been close! When we were kids we'd watch the parade on tv every New Year's....it was a tradition. I remember being amazing that all the floats were made of flowers and plants....it still amazes me!
