Besides the many floats at the East Indian parade that I attended there was this horse and rider all decorated up to join in on the occasion. I managed to get nice and close but felt the horse was about to lick my camera lens. The rider spoke excellent English and with a quick chat he allowed me to capture this while he held his horse steady. Taken on 128th street in Surrey where over 100,000 people attended for the occasion. Enjoy.

For those who shoot with the Canon Xti 400D I am offering the suggestion to quickly check your ISO setting before you shoot. 100 ISO is only one click down from 1600 ISO. This photo was taken at 1600 by mistake. But because of bright daylight the results turned out to be quite good. But for those who are picky with image quality this will explain for some of the grain that is hardly noticeable.
