Waiting for the Santa Claus Parade

I found myself on the route of the annual Santa Claus parade, by chance.
I am always drawn to people in the city.
No photographs of the parade: just of folks getting ready to watch.

My city is nothing if not mercantile.
And I was in the heart of it on University and Wellington.
The parade starts north and west of there and runs along Bloor, arguably the city's main street (or is it Yonge?).
The vibe there is more neighbourly, the street less grand.

But the core comes alive with people for all kinds of public events.
Make no mistake, privilege stakes its ground even at these, as per below.

There was a running race on, before the parade. Photos from that next.
Thanks for having a look.

I am always interested in your thoughts. Please leave a comment or send me a message at photosmm@pm.me.
