Halloween day celebration parade at Bristol – 2009

Vijay — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 09:00:17 +0000

Halloween day, 31 Oct 2009, was a fun filling day in Bristol. The city centre was filled with zombies. The Halloween day parade in the evening was the highlight. I could manage to capture five min clip with my iPhone.

Less lighting and 3MP camera resulted a not so great clip. However, you could feel the theme of the event from the video.
