    clap.gif excellent!

    Thanks for sharing a bit of Greek culture I didn't know anything about.

    "Those visiting Galaxidi on Shrove Monday should not miss the alevromoutzouroma (literally fouling with flour), a local custom marking the end of Carnival and the beginning of Lent, which is followed by merrymaking."

    By the first few shots, I thought it was a disaster too! Sharp pics, well composed candids. Neat looking festival! Any more info on it?
