I’ve been in Cologne for the carnival, but was in meetings all day so basically missed it.
Anyway, I really liked this photo. I think it works very well. Nice series too.
Well, I’m living here but I always tried to steer clear of it, until this year. Thanks for the comment (and the kind words).
I grew up in Notting Hill, home of the Notting Hill Carnival. Every year when it was on I was sent up to visit family in Scotland, with the result that I only saw it for the first time after I left home.
