This event (the parade) is a favorite of mine. However, this year it looked like there were more photographers than participants and in my opinion the parade appeared to be more low-key than last year, maybe the weather (or the equally depressing economy) had an impact. It also started on time unlike previous years.
2012: "Show your True Colours"
This year's festival started on the 22nd June and will continue until 1st July 2012. Today's parade being the flagship event.
This year the festival moved from Dublin City Council's Civic Offices on Wood Quay to Merrion Square using 3 of the 4 roads around the park and family areas available to use inside the park. This also involved the parade route moving from it traditional route along Dame Street to further south in the city, along Baggot Street to the final destination Event at Merrion Square.
The new venue has a capacity for up to 15,000 people and space for vendors to sell food and beverages to the public.

HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765.
She is most famous as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
She was also Keppel's flagship at Ushant, Howe's flagship at Cape Spartel and Jervis's flagship at Cape St Vincent. After 1824 she served as a harbour ship.
In 1922 she was moved to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She is the flagship of the First Sea Lord and is the oldest naval ship still in commission.
The Ricoh GRii is a compact digital point and shoot camera that is a redesign of the classic film cameras released by Ricoh in 1996. They were made famous by Daidō Moriyama the Japanese street photographer. Since then it has gone through many iterations and won several awards while staying faithful to the original cult classic and vintage design.
The Ricoh GRii has a fixed focal length that gives you a 28mm field of view (after crop factor). It has all the great functionality that you would take for granted with a professional DSLR, and is also packed full of great features that you would expect in any modern camera with extra goodies like an inbuilt ND filter (which you can set to auto) for those extra bright light situations when the maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second won’t do, High Dynamic Range compensation for those high contrast situations that actually works. There is also interval and composite shooting modes, various prefocusing or “snap” modes that add extra punch to the focusing system and a whisper silent leaf shutter. And as you would expect, it’s extremely customisable.
When it comes to using the Ricoh GRii the menu although a nerds paradise is very intuitive to use. There is also a quick menu that allows you to get to all the functions you would need to change and adjust on the fly. It produces great DNG files that are rich in colour and crisp detail up to ISO 1600, the lens is super sharp at f4, and the controls are exactly where you would expect them, it’s an ergonomic dream.
The combination of great features and compact award winning design and a proven history of achievement, means you can shoot with something you know is reliable in any situation for capturing any subject of moment whether you are out with friends, or fancy a spot of macro. Where this camera really comes to life is street photography; as it offers precision with stealth. It’s a great little camera that you can always keep with you, and it’s great fun to use.

Clarke Quay was named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second Governor and Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1873 to 1875.
The Singapore River has been the centre of trade since modern Singapore was founded in 1819. During the colonial era, Boat Quay was the commercial centre where barge lighters would transport goods upstream to warehouses at Clarke Quay.
At the height of its prosperity, dozens of bumboats jostled for mooring space beside Clarke Quay. This continued well into the later half of the 20th century. By this time, the Singapore River had also become very polluted. The government decided to relocate cargo services to a new modern facility in Pasir Panjang. The bumboats and lorries departed to their new home and Clarke Quay fell silent.
Even more flowers, doing a project for my course which involves taking way to many pictures off flowers, if i ever have to take another picture of a bloody flower again i'll scream! :) haha
