Giant Puppets....

Liverpool have been putting on a 3 day story in the streets of the city centre acted out by giant puppets to commemorate the sinking of the Titanic. Needed to do some work in the library today, so thought I'd pop down the road to see what all the fuss was about....this is the finale that happened at lunchtime today where the uncle and his niece get on a boat with their dog and sail off down the river....

Wasn't sure what to expect in terms of access, so used the versatile 18-135 with the 7D

1. So many people!

It must be wood.
Strong enough to support its own weight, light enough to be maneuvered safely.
Diver breast plate and helmet wood covered by a thin layer of copper.
