As announced in my Bond – The Fun Version post, the Carnival period is upon us again… Guess what we did last Sunday? We went to a local parade! The weather mostly held, except for a short and not very nasty shower, and it was not too cold either. A mug of mulled wine also helped.
We found that this year a lot of the floats were a bit bland, and wondered if the louder music was suppose to compensate for the lack of imagination. Still, it was fun, but I therefore concentrated more on details when I took my photos. The last one shows Second Daughter’s loot…
Next: Fancy dress party on Saturday!
Love these photos – some really interesting shots and detail!
Thanks! I did try to pick the most interesting/colourful ones.
It doesn’t look too bland. I wonder if it will fizzle out in the end with each generation?
I concentrated on the best ones. The parade was quite a bit shorter than last year, so sadly you may be right! xx
I see they dig Krampus out (in the last row) for an outing… Or perhaps he’s on holiday up where you are? Happy Carnival! đŸ™‚
First time this year! Or perhaps I did not notice the other years… Love Carnival and the dressing up bit (as you have probably noticed by now…). xx
Carnival was just starting in Malta this weekend. So much preparation, stunning floats. We couldn’t stay for the fancy dress đŸ˜‰
What a shame!! I bet you were devastated? đŸ˜‰ xx
