Indianapolis

I had a friend who went was doing a placement year in Indiannapolis, United States. I went to visit him during the Indy 500.

Indiannpolis really gets into the spirit when hosting the annual Indy 500 race. Most of these photos are from the parade that went through downtown.

We did actually go to the race and we were sat in the middle of the oval so didn't see much of the race but joined in with the festivities.

A hand holding a yellow flyer printed with a smiley face and the words Smile, Jesus Loves You. A large blue superhero parade balloon floating between city buildings above a crowd. A blue convertible carrying performers along a parade route lined with spectators. Performers in yellow costumes carrying a Chinese dragon along a street during a parade. A large pink pony parade balloon held on lines above a crowded street. A SpongeBob SquarePants parade balloon passing between office towers. A SpongeBob SquarePants parade balloon seen from below against a blue sky. Spectators and grandstands at a motor racing circuit on a clear day. Thousands of red, white and blue balloons released into an overcast sky. A city street lined with trees, with the downtown Indianapolis skyline ahead. Bottles of beer in a metal bucket of ice.
