St. Patrick's Day, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

St. Paddy is very popular in Ausralia. Both due to a large number of Australians having Irish blood and due to the natural affection of Aussies to celebrations! It's a day when the city is painted green. It's very common to see people dressed in Celtic kilts and hear sound of pipe music (both Irish and Scottish, I guess). The only problem, however is that you have to line in the queue to get to a pub and have a pint there;-) I made this shot standing in one of the lines to one of the pubs in the City.

I like the essence of what you've capture here. More about the symbols that tell the story. I've never been to Melbourne on St. Pats, but maybe someday I'll have it timed right. It's my wife's hometown and still home to her Irish born mum, so how could I not? Sounds like fun, other than those queues.
