This past weekend, Carnival was in full swing in Madrid. While not as flamboyant as Rio or Mardi Gras in New Orleans, it was still colorful. Here are a few taken during the main events.

    It looks like a fun place, and a wonderful opportunity for photos. I don't know if this sort of lovely costuming is normal and everyday for you Europeans, but it makes my heart go pitter-patter :)

    Al, Cristian and Dalantech: thanks for your comments.

    Given all the color, I'm a little surprised that the B&W shots seem to be getting so much attention. Must be a photographer thing...on my Smugmug site the stats consistently show color shots getting at least twice as many hits as B&W. ne_nau.gif
