Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Parade '08

A well timed visit to Laurel's in SB and we went to the Parade. Santa Barbara celebrates everything, and I was glad I was there. Family, friends and lots of good memories. My camera was not "up to par" for professional pictures of the wonder and dazzle of the parade, so I had to "stitch" this image together and then exaggerate the colors and form to try to recapture the glint my camera missed. Can be criticized, justifiably, but reminds me of a good memory.
