(NEW) Pride Cymru 2023, The Flag Wearer

            File: 2023006-0088

Castle Street, near the junction with High Street, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.

About the photograph.

While looking around for any interesting subjects to shoot, I noticed him, and decided to take a shot. He is wearing one of the various LGBT flag designs on his back, as if he’s wearing a cape like a superhero. Also note the rainbow colours fan in his hand, he is simply fanning himself to keep cool. It was a really hot sunny day at that time.
 
About the event.

Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.

In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.

Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.

The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.

Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.

That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.
