Near Castle Arcade entrance and opposite of Revolution restaurant, on Castle Street,<\/b> Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.<\/p>\n

\nAbout the photograph.<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

The photo was taken on Castle Street, about half-way between the junctions of High Street<\/b> and Womanby Street.<\/b> This location is very near the Revolution<\/b> restaurant and the Castle Arcade<\/b> entrance.<\/p>\n

This was my fourth attempt at photojournalism kind of photography, my first was during college, and that was like over 30 years ago. This is my second time doing photojournalism of a Pride parade, the first one was just a year before this.<\/p>\n

I was looking around at people, trying to find something interesting, something story like, and I noticed the two people in white T-shirts asking the security guy<\/a> for directions on where to go. So I took some shots.<\/p>\n

Here, the security guy<\/a> is seen pointing out to the couple<\/a>, on how to get to where they want to go to.<\/p>\n

The couple<\/a> are also pointing in the directions of where to go. In most cases, humans often subconsciously do the pointing while listening, as if their hands are helping make a mental note of how to follow the directions. In most cases, they are often pointing as if confirming the directions from the guide.<\/p>\n

Note the BT Group<\/b> logo on their white T-shirts, it would appear that those two are working for BT and BT is supporting the LGBT parade. Also note the woman<\/a>\u2019s impressive colourful stripped trousers.<\/p>\n

About the event.<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

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

In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> of hours to do the photo-shoot.<\/p>\n

That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.<\/p>\n
