La Fête du Citron (Music of the World) - the Girl in the Green Dress
Today, we've joined the Corso and so have 25,000 other people so it's pretty crowded.
All the floats are made of oranges and lemons but we also see dancers, musicians, entertainers from many different countries. This young lady is part of a group from Brazil and her shoulders support a beautifully made display - see last photo. It can't be easy to support the weight, deal with that fan and smile at the same time.
The building you see in the background is the Anglican church in Menton.
Tomorrow is Theme Day in the City Daily Photo community - the subject is 'glass' - so we divert for one day but the Fête du Citron returns on Monday.
This girl is positively radiant. You capture her in a peak moment of pride, joy, and beauty. Wonderful!
ReplyDeletePretty girl...amazing dress!
ReplyDeleteJilly, That green dressis outstanding, in more ways than one! It's so much better to have the parade during the day for photographs rather than at night as in Mexico!
ReplyDeleteI suppose the people on parade are paid for their performance?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girl, and I love the dress...impractical, but fun!
ReplyDeleteAs if we were in a Brazilian Carnival. 25 000 ! My children were in the crowd !
ReplyDeleteThey attend to the fireworks, at the end.
Phantastic, looks much nicer than carnival in Cologne.
ReplyDeleteWow, her dress is stunning! Bet the weight is not only heavy on the shoulder but also on the hip!
ReplyDeleteBet it must be fun to be there!
