      He was. Serious, and and also very accomplished. His group’s performance was even more impressive considering the incredible heat. Just standing there watching was a struggle…

      Thank you! Came out of the station and the young lad and his troupe were just about to start. Very fortunate timing.

    Percussive with hattitude?
    I notice many other photographers at some distance with zoom lenses, but suspect this particular photographer was getting within short stick range?
    I also notice a something afoot at the bottom left.

      Pretty much!

      Lots and lots of big lenses on display. And yeah, with only my trusty 35mm, I had no option but to get as close as I could. Crouching down also allowed me to get the angle I wanted, and some welcome shade from the people stood behind!

      Haha, yes. Definitely a foot!
