Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Multicolored (or Multicoloured, but let’s not get into that…).
That theme sends me straight to this past summer’s Coney Island Mermaid Parade, the most multicolored event I ever saw. Here are just a few of the multicolored highlights.
And even more multicolored photos are here.

Do go if you get the chance—it’s one of the two best parades in NYC! (The other being the Halloween Parade.)
Thanks, Shaanthz!!

I must make it happen I guess. The Halloween Parade I’ve been to – in fact, I had been in the US for barely a few weeks at the time, and ‘culture shock’ was too mild a word for this now well-seasoned New Yorker!
