Castle Park, Bristol, South West of England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 9th of July 2022.
 
About the photograph.

This shot was taken at around 11am or thereabout, just when the Bristol Pride parade was almost due to start. It was taken somewhere between the Sally Port Steps and the Bandstand in the grounds of Castle Park.

The temperature at that time was already hot, and very sunny with little clouds.

People of all LGBT lifestyle, as well as their straight supporters were already gathered there, yet more were still coming. It presented a good opportunity to find more interesting subjects to take photos of, as the start of the parade was still minutes away.

Here I spotted this young woman holding up her smartphone and taking some photos, just like many other people do.

Note that her mobile phone may be upside down, judging by the look of her hand holding the phone, and the thumb on the shutter button. Possibly that she finds it easier to hold the phone while over her head.

After this shot, I moved over to near where the bandstand is, closer to Castle Street, as the parade was getting ready to move.
 
About the event.

Bristol Pride is an annual festival held over couple of weeks, promoting equality for the various LGBT+ people, with a march through the city at a weekend.

The Bristol Pride started life in 1977 as a fundraiser for the local LGBT community, and evolved into an annual event held every year. There was a gap of only some years between 1994 to 2010 when it was restarted.

The 2022 march started at Castle Park, near Castle Street. The route took them past Cabot Circus, and went around the major shopping area by using The Horsefair and Union Street, and as they went down Union Street, they headed towards Castle Park. When they reached Castle Park, they turned into Wine Street, went into High Street, and into Baldwin Street, headed towards the A38 which is Anchor Road. This route took them into Canon’s Road, and ended up near the Bristol Aquarium. 

The march was said to take about an hour, but as a photographer whom would go back and forth, up and down the line, looking for good shots, it took me at least a couple of hours to complete the route.

After the march, those whom bought tickets, can attend an evening musical festival at The Downs, approximately to the north-west of city centre. I did not attend this event, and by the time I got back to my friend’s home, I was worn out from the heat.
