Very nice, Fooj - no, better than very nice. Excellent. Certainly one of your best and a real winner if ever I saw one!

The style of dance is called Border Morris, comes from the the counties bordering Wales - Shropshire & Herefordshire - and is traditionally danced by men.

This particular side is called The Witchmen.

ooooooooh i really like this Fuji, interesting character, extremely well processed photo, great reflections in the glasses and his beard looks almost fracatlised

Dont go a bundle on b&w but I like this

The sun glasses are so out of context they make the shot

Possably a little over sharpend for me but very attention grabbing

One of the weirdest things ive ever seen is a morris men gathering in a little place high on the north yorks moors called beck hole

Bus loads of bells, sticks and some like your man with blacked faces, dancing all over the place must have been a hundred of them

the pub was doing a roaring trade and some of the dances were quite wild
