The "Basler fasnacht" (carnival of Basel) takes place in the week after Ash Wednesday, and last 72 hours without break, beginning on monday at 4 a.m. During the three days, many different brass bands and decorated wagons parade through the city, most with eloborate costumes, and all throwing confetti.
This series is from the carnival last year. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Please feel free to criticize!

Saw impressions of the German (Kölle = Köln) and Dutch (Oeteldonk = den Bosch) carnival on TV Mia, and enjoyed it a lot as it's a wonderful combination of show (dance and music) and humour. Your post depicts that atmosphere very well.
Good work!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
