The story behind the image

From 1995 to 2001, an annual parade took place in Munich, Germany, called the Union Move. Initiated by Munich clubs, it featured electronic music played from large trucks with dancing people. At its peak, about 100,000 people joined the parade.

This photo from the 1999 parade shows a couple that has taken their club wardrobe to the streets and exchanges a wild kiss. Of course, the clothes with their vivid colors are a real head turner, and the pose is pretty hot, too. The image is a bit on the soft side, probably because I just had this single shot and was quite nervous to get it right. 🙂
