Lisco's American Life

"Hurry up, hurry up, we're going to be too late,"

Xiaowei here is hurriedly changing into decent clothes, while Ada, who has been waiting in the living room for a long time, urges her apprentice over and over again, because there is a certain limit on the start time of the float.

Yes, if you don’t arrive at the venue in advance, you may not get a more appropriate viewing position.

It is precisely because of her understanding of this aspect that Ada seemed particularly eager. She even checked the camera she carried with her over and over again. She had already made up her mind to take pictures of all the good floats she saw today.

I am going to print it out and put it on the wall of my study room at home.

Xiaowei's daily sleep state is relatively regular, but maybe because he changed the place and bed soon, he rolled back and forth on the bed for a long time late at night before falling into a normal sleep. Since it was late,

After sleeping, it must be very difficult to get up early. Until now, Xiaowei was still yawning loudly while wearing clothes. Although the movements of his hands were very fast, he could obviously feel energetic.

The situation is not as good as imagined.

Hurrying slowly and hurriedly, I finally managed to clean up my personal hygiene despite being urged over and over again by the other party. Then I took my handbag and rushed to the lobby on the first floor with a look of anticipation and eagerness.

Haas and Yu Qing, who had been waiting here for a long time, had finished checking the condition of the vehicle and drove towards the location they had inquired and confirmed earlier.

Before Xiaowei could stand upright and successfully squeezed onto a high platform that seemed to be in an excellent position, he was about to even out his breathing when he heard the very excited Ada next to her using a low voice.

Notify yourself.

"It's begun, it's begun."

After receiving the signal, Xiaowei immediately raised the camera she carried with her, adjusted the corresponding focal length, and prepared to aim at the entrance of the float. Perhaps because she was at a high place, she could directly

With an excellent location, you can see everything happening in the venue, and you can also have a better shooting angle.

Speaking of where a few people are today, I have to sigh that Haas's methods are amazing. Because they have made corresponding preparations in advance and determined that several people will participate in this float event, Haas quickly

I activated my personal network and found a local literary master-level person. I asked him to help me coordinate other corresponding conditions. I successfully found the location and made reservations at the same time.

preparation.

It has to be said that sometimes the network of connections is relatively sufficient, and the convenience it can bring is very enjoyable. At the same time, it can make you feel treated differently from others, and thus enjoy all kinds of things in life.

Convenience.

Following a burst of exciting music, the first person to enter was a group of military soldiers dressed more like an honor guard. The main job responsibility of these people is to maintain the order of the float and act as greeters.

And it can be seen that the people in these honor guards are not very old. Most of them look like teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old, and their clothes are more like the royal guards of the Dutch dynasty. After all, the meaning of this event is

To congratulate the Queen on her birthday, it is understandable that a guard of honor appears.

Since the honor guard began to enter, Xiaowei has shouldered his job very well. He took pictures of the appearance of these honor guards with his mobile phone camera. He was not worried at all about running out of film because he had already

I had anticipated today's situation, so I had prepared the general's reserves in advance. There was sufficient inventory, and I had already anticipated that I would have many memorable things to take photos of during my trip, so I prepared them before setting off.

replenish these spare items.

In Xiaowei's eyes, it's hard to tell the difference between the Netherlands and other European countries, not to mention that the costumes of the Dutch honor guards are more similar to the British honor guard uniforms, both of which are based on red and white, so in his eyes

In his eyes, there doesn't seem to be much difference from the British honor guards.

Of course, there are certain reasons why this situation occurs. The Netherlands is a country that has been influenced by the British for many reasons. Among the people,

You can often see the appearance of items similar to the British atmosphere. In addition, when the country was destroyed, it was exiled to the United Kingdom and the Dutch government-in-exile was established. The atmosphere affected by these various factors became even more diverse.

.

The difference between the hand salute of the honor guard and other honor guards is that other honor guards may use various weapons. Although the power of the weapons themselves is very small, and their existence is more for decoration and good-looking, but

The things in the hands of the Dutch floats above are various Western musical instruments.

After these honor guards entered their own positions, they soon started playing to the rhythm of the music. After they started playing, the first float slowly drove in from the entrance to ***

In the streets, he received waves of cheers and attention.

Because the theme of this float is to commemorate Fansheng, after careful selection, the sculptured pattern on the opening float is very obvious, it is the float with the theme of Van Gogh's head. This float looks huge.

Xiaowei, who had never seen this kind of situation before, was still in the shooting situation, but Weiwei's little mouth had already begun to open to express his shock.

The skin of this float is made of flowers that tend to be flesh-colored, and the hair, beards and the like are made of some reddish-brown decorations. It looks vivid and vivid, following the Van Gogh obtained from the book.

There is not much difference in the images.

When a local float swam past him, Xiaowei also felt a long-lost happiness and excitement. He quickly merged with the emotions of the crowd and expressed his excitement with deafening shouts. He originally thought

The first float was shocking enough as a start, but the floats that followed made me admire again the wonderful ideas of these art students as art directors.

The shape of the second float that entered the venue still used the appearance of Van Gogh, but compared to the previous one, which was a huge head and a self-portrait of Van Gogh, the second float took a more unique look.

way, a lying Van Gogh stared at the sky with his own eyes.

Another gesture was used to interpret Van Gogh's remembrance of art. This full-length description allowed people to see more of the face of this great painter, and Xiaowei also seized this opportunity and fiercely

I used up my camera's film stock and took photos of all the directions I saw.
