This Carnival was held 12 yrs ago. I have to appologise once again for my bad photos. I don’t think they seem so bad alive, I am afraid my scanning made it lose their quality. Anyway, that year we were Pierrots, The Sad Clowns. Our inspiration was the back and white clown, with black hat, … Read more
