Wilhelmstraße getting ready for the parade |
It is the carnival season here in Germany. And as you might have guessed from the latest Silent Sunday picture, we went to see the carnival parade here in Wiesbaden.
At first I was so excited that I photographed all horses...
... and bands...
... and clowns...
... and wagons....
But after the first twenty or so groups, my fingers were freezing and it got a bit boring.
However, running around and picking up all the candies, popcorns, toys and tissue packets they threw at us, kept us warm despite the -2°C temperature.
I have no idea why we had to pick up every single candy that landed to our feet. I'm certain that those can be found in our kitchen cabinets still one year from now. It was just impossible to leave them laying there...
But for Fräulein this was a great Sunday!

Saksassa vietetään karnevaalikautta ja sunnuntaina olimme seuraamassa Wiesbadenin karnevaaliparaatia. Paraati oli kuin penkkareiden ja vapun sekoitus. Ja saaliimme (karkkeja, leluja ja nenäliinapaketteja) oli mahtava!
