These pictures were taken during Davao City's annual celebration of the Kadayawan Festival which happens every 3rd week of August. Some of the worries that floral float owners have to contend with during the floral float parade are the low-lying electric wires traversing above the streets which could cause not only damage to the floats but could also cause untoward accidents to the sightseers. This is why marshals and spotters were there to prevent these things to happen.

WOw it definitely could be perilous for taller floats. Nice take on this week's theme!
I totally agree.
happy weekend Tess!
There for a while, you had me searching for the wires and not concentrating on the subjects. Great idea.
My Electric photos are HERE
Have a wonderful Saturday.
wow i like this nice shot dear good choice for the theme. Happy hunting and weekend.
how i wish i was able to watch that when i went to davao last month. and yes, it's sad to see our wires so un-organized
Great idea for the theme. The floats all look so festive. Would be a shame if they got hit by low lying wires.
Think of the electricity that gets used that courses through those electric wires. A necessary "evil" these days, I'm afraid.
I agree-- I am not fond of a sky laced with electrical wires, either. It's so ugly. Oh well! I guess if we didn't have them, we wouldn't be posting photos on blogs and commenting about them! lol!
My Photo Hunters is up. I hope you have time to visit mine! New York Traveler.net
Happy weekend!
Beautiful floats, shame about the electric wires.
My Photo Hunt entry is up here
Wow...gorgeous floats ! Amazing !
I frequently wish there were no electric wires or posts in my pictures. It seems like they interfere in the most gorgeous sunsets around here.
The floats were very beautiful.

how cool! and a switch from our views on the idea.
I'm so used to seeing the wires that if you hadn't pointed them out, I wouldn't have noticed.
Nice floats there. I use to see this alot back in Malaysia too. THanks for dropping by at my site. Foo.
I was looking at the colorful floats, it wasn't until I finished reading that I noticed the wires. Enjoy your week ahead :-)
