La Fête du Citron (Music of the World) - the Firebird


From Brazil - a stunningly beautiful phoenix.

Tomorrow: our last day at the festival and one of my favourite photographs...

I wonder where all the ladies are? He would attract a larger crowd if he was nearly naked, don't you think?

That's so very colorful, Jilly. I like the colors and the moment you captured in these photos.

What would be a Carnival without a Brazilian representative.

Have you noticed, Jilly, they break down a wonderful "maison mentonnaise" just behind this Anglican Church ? It was a so beautiful white building. It was abandonned since 1999, maybe before. I was so sad when I watch this in February. Certainly a huge impersonal building instead.

This is so rich with color and joy.

Absolutely gorgeous! And especially since I love the legend of the phoenix.

Le phoenix est très beau, très coloré, mais moi je préfère le garçon :-)

It looks like Carnival! A bit intense for this still-gray part of the world.
