This photo was taken during the Sttutgart Beer Festival. After the Oktoberfest which is held annually in Munich, the Stuttgart Beer Festival comes a close second. Like its big brother, Oktoberfest, this festival also takes place end September and had its origins in 1818 to celebrate a harvest after a famine year. 167th Stuttgart Beer Festival will be celebrated in Wasen again! The festival is opened by the traditional tapping of barrels by the mayor of the state capital. What follows is two weeks of fun and frolic, fetes and fairs, rollercoaster rides and elaborate floats, music and dance and of course the great mellow yellow liquid.! All in all the festival is a true display of the local cultural traditions. It also houses the largest and best festival tents accommodating upto 5,000 visitors in each tent.

I bet this old goat was one of the first to arrive and the last to leave Doc. I suspect he has been sampling the nectar.
Good clear photo for a man who has been to Oktoberfest. :)

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The goat seems to agree that the earrings were just the right accent. Great shot.

I don't think he likes those earrings. But what a great close up Antonio!!! Great focus and color! I didn't know there were 2 fests! You always teach me something new :-)

Those earrings don't go with that outfit. A cute capture of the goat and nice closeup, Antonio. Good details, lighting and textures in the photo. Nicely done.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake

Antonio - Oh, the costumes people will wear for a beer fest - even the animals get into it! Perhaps it is time for a Schwaben Braü! You have lots of good things join gin this photo - controlled lighting, a challenge with the white hair, composition, color and dof. Very well done, my friend. Prost! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

He does look rather happy! You did a fine job on the exposure to capture the white. It sounds like fun, but for me too many people. :) Tigs♥ =^..^=
