The World Heritage Day events in Saltaire's Robert's Park culminated in a Sundowner Lantern Parade, featuring the huge puppets made and operated by Cecil Green Arts, a local community arts organisation. These were accompanied by a large numbers of lanterns and lit sculptures made by young people in workshops run by the arts organisation.
The rather fancy skeletons seemed to be very friendly and kept giving each other hugs.
There was a boar on a bicycle, who was circling round the park, and other odd creatures like a giant jellyfish and a wasp (bee? hornet?). The sculptures, lit from within, are intricately made from thin paper stretched over willow frames, light but seemingly quite sturdy.
I'm adding a separate post with a short video I filmed of the parade. (My first go at such advanced technology! 😂 ) It has sound too. The Peace Artistes led the parade with some great percussion. Do enjoy it.
No link to other post...but those lanterns are incredible!
