    Remarkable photograph

    I know, a bit off topic, but anyway... I found this picture: About 12 years ago a friend of mine and myself went to carnival dressed like this (Maastricht, Netherlands). Strolling around here and there... we got a feeling how it must have felt... Anyway, one can't get closer than that...
