This image shows a live performance by the rock band "Mischievous Night" at "Bands by the Brewery." The free live music day was organised by artsmix, which is a non-profit organisation supporting and promoting the work of emerging local artists.
The small girl was doing her own little performance, dancing and twirling around me, resulting in multiple images - but I think the dancing triplets are quite sweet! The atmosphere was very relaxed, everyone was enjoying the performance or just getting on with their lives.
It was rather cloudy and dim, (the British summer), but at least there were absolutely no shadows to edit.
Brewery Wharf is a newly developed area in Leeds City Centre on the Leeds waterfront. It offers a mix of independent shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, apartments and businesses overlooking the River Aire.
The 6-metre-high bronze and steel sculpture, in the centre, portrays barleycorns, which is a reference to the local brewing industry.
The band logo was added from the band's website.
