Annual homage to Momus

I forgot to bring my camera to today's Mummers' Parade! (Waaahh!)

But with my flimsy, low-resolution phone camera, I was able to at least document a few of the many classical and paganistic elements which so characterize this annual extravaganza. (This is my second annual Mummers' Parade post, which makes this an established Classical Values tradition.)

Here's a winged chariot from South Philadelphia's City of the Dead:

And here's a close-up shot of a dead Mummer:

Finally, the Blues Brothers are remembered as their ghosts overlook the Durning String Band:

Poor technology, but I hope it gives a general idea.

You are an excellent photographer. Thank you.

Steven, thank you for the encouragement! (I'm never sure whether my photographs are worth sharing.)
