During the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, you can have a truly multicultural experience. From UK based comedians to theatre and dance companies from Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n

In August on the Royal Mile, you can see amazing costumes from all over the world. The lovely young lady in the photograph below was quite eager to pose for the camera.<\/p>\n

\"Portrait<\/a>
When I saw the trees behind her, I knew their colour would nicely contrast with the red coloured clothes she was wearing. I positioned myself and waited for her to notice me and smile at the camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Portrait<\/a>
She was very playful and gave me some wonderful portraits. Who ever you are, thank you for this brief but fruitful collaboration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This young lady immediately caught my attention. I must say I took a lot of pictures of her, because I really wanted to make sure I had at least a good one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Young<\/a>
I don’t know what theatre company he belongs to, but you got to admire the elaborate costume.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the Royal Mile just wouldn’t be the Royal Mile without a King:<\/p>\n

\"Young<\/a>
The sunlight was coming from my right side and so I had to wait for my subject to turn his head towards the light to avoid distracting shadows on his face.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
