 at the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Times Square

The pilot of the Horton (Hears a Who) balloon learns he has to guide his troops through the narrow space between a disabled "locomotive" float and a curb. Right smack in the middle of Times Square. They made it through with flying colors. The disabled float eventually made it through the end of the parade to Herald Square, but not until after Santa Claus had come and gone.

This shot was taken on Broadway at 10mm just a few feet in front of the little powwow.

They just stood there. Even while the people before them pointed and shouted and screamed and began to run for their lives, they just stood there.

Why, nobody will ever know, but when that giant evil creature came down upon them, it felt as though their screams would never end.

Who's Horton? The shot seems a little square on, maybe shooting slightly to one side would give a little more depth
