Carnival season

This guy comes to me and opens a cute little box in front of my face. I thought I would get a chocolate; instead there is a cockroach inside! And there he goes with his expression "I scared you!".



Waiting for his turn.




From the 70's





The most funniest of the lot! The text on the car reads "NO WOMAN NO CRY" along with a pointing finger (with motor attached!) :P These guys had tied huge speakers to the car, which gave out extremely loud music.





They really looked like wild animals!




Some for you!




The streets were immediately cleaned and that was impressive.




Extremely cold weather in Germany had very little effect on the enthusiasm levels of the Carnival participants. It was wonderful to see the participation from a lot of people including young and old! I was one of the very few with camera there and I got a lot of attention. People posed for me and gave me goodies :)
A nice colorful treat amidst cold black and white days! Thanks to my colleagues Gerhard and his wife Christine for taking me to such a wonderful event.
