More Floats!

A decent amount of the pictures on my phone are from the Rose Parade across the years. This one in particular is from this year, the only float I took pictures of because my mom has much better phone camera quality than I do. It's the float for the new How to Train Your Dragon movie, which is a series holds a special place in my heart. Anyway, enough chatter, here's the photo.

I really like this photo. It feels so ethereal with the dragons swooping down and blocking out the sun. It doesn't feel threatening, but that is perhaps because of my familiarity with the story. It feels like something out of a myth or fairy tale, with dragons being said to block out the sun as they circle cities and fly overhead. It also reminds me of an eclipse, which is another celestial and otherworldly event. The light being almost present but blocked gives the entire picture a sublime feeling despite it obviously taking place on a nice, sunny day.
