The Nice Carnival

Here we have the "Festival of Lights" during the Carnival in Nice. It turns out that the "Festival of Lights" is really just a parade at night - and I guess they shine lights on all the floats so you can see them. It wasn't quite what I expected, given the name and all. I'm not really sure of what I had in mind. (Warning: There are a lot of pictures in the post, so it may take a little while to load)


Richelin Street
At first glance, I would say this is anti-american... but perhaps its just an expression of their love for American Hollywood Blockbuster trash. Is there a movie with this happening (a large dinosaur eating the statue of liberty)? If there is, I haven't seen it... but I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt. :-)








The Skeletons
These are absolutely my most favorite of all the pictures... the photos themselves look like drawings and not a photograph.
















Tall Chicks








And the others...
We (Johannah, Jeff, Squi and I) rather enjoyed the festivity - though I believe we were all confused about the themes for some of these floats. For this reason, I leave the interpretation of these floats to you...
