Human pyramid, a tradition on the annual Guinness Crawl (about six pints in by the time we reach Argyle Place Park)

We've had more people in the pyramid in other years, but this year it was completed.

September 2015

Some may say daftness, madness given this pyramid occurs after seven or so pints of Guinness have been consumed; fellow Guinness Crawlers say tradition.

And in 18 days, on AFL Grand Final day we attempt it again . . .

A human oyrmaid, with layers three, two and one. The top person looks to be falling off, but this is as hogh as the pyramid reached. The pyramid is in a park, with a church in the background. A taix is on the road, to the right of the pyramid, about to pass by. A light blue backpack is in view, half in frame in the lower right

Every Tower more than one story.

A captivating moment of a human tower (castell) performance, showcasing the teamwork and precision of the castellers. Participants, dressed in their traditional uniforms of yellow shirts, white pants, and red sashes, are captured mid-climb. A child, wearing a protective helmet, is being lifted by the group, demonstrating the trust and coordination required for this Catalan tradition. The scene is set against a backdrop of a building with green shutters, and onlookers watch intently, adding to the sense of community and cultural pride.

Human pyramid, this one with bonus twins, from 2010

This is (still) an annual pyramid, attempted (with varying degrees of success) about seven pubs into the Guinness Crawl

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZForZany #humanpyramid #photography

A human pyramid, with three complete levels. Three people are on the bottom row, two on the middle and one on the top row. The person on the top has their arms out, making a star-like pattern. The people are in a park, with a church in the background. along with trees. It is mid afternoon, and shadows from trees are falling on either side of the pyramid. Not all faces are looking at the camera, the photo chosen is that where the pyramid is at its highest and/or most stable, taken on burst mode.
