carnival scenery III 2019, a photo from Xanthi, Thrace

Photographer's Note

carnival scenery III 2019
Every year, Xanthi organizes the largest carnival in Northern Greece. The various events begin on Wednesday, February 20th and are at their peak with the great parade of floats and people participating, as well as the “burning of Tzaros” on Sunday, March 10th.

Impressive floats and thousands of people will come out the streets of the city on Sunday noon, with colors and music accompanying the King of the Carnival. On the eve of the great feast, the evening carnival parade will take place on the city’s central streets. Over fifty cultural and folklore clubs accompany the carnival program on the city streets, both in closed and open areas. The events that extend throughout the Carnival period include concerts, theatrical performances, music and dancing nights, exhibitions and revival of customs.

Hello Costantino,
Another attractive photo from the carnival in Xanthi. It was a good opportunity for the participants to take out their most colourful clothes from their wardrobes and an even better opportunity for you to take nice photos.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour, cher Costantino,
c'est bien de conserver les us et coutumes du pays. Se souvenir d'où l'on vient pour mieux comprendre ses traditions.
Bonne présentation.
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Costantino,
Another well realised image from this colourful carnival. The main protagonists are well framed and their beautiful costumes shown to optimal effect.

Hello Dear Constantino,

Yesterday it was pirates, today clowns!
It must be great fun circulating around the town, looking for interesting subjects to capture with your camera!
These two are bright and colourful! Though the tall gentleman is aware of your presence, the lady has a haughty expression that she would not have shown, had she known you were there!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Costantino,
Two completely different partygoers at the carnival than in your previous post. They are dressed up very nicely in these brightly coloured costumes. Very well captured.

Ciao Costantino
con un po' di fantasia si possono creare dei bei costumi anche in coppia, questo ne è un esempio.
Saluti
Carlo

Hello Costantino,
This couple is wearing beautiful and very colourful suits which also have different hearts on it.
You are a big fan of the carnival of Xanthi, not exactly close to Volos.
You use your visits every year to present us very beautiful pictures.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Costantino,

Colourful carnival costumes of the Queen and Jack of Hearts. Good sharpness but I have never heard of Xanthi. I have been to Thessaloniki so it must be somewhere close by? Tfs!

Hello dear Costantino.
A great picture that conveys all the color and joy of the carnival, this couple wears a nice costume allusive to the deck of cards, great height contrast between the boy and the girl.
Magnificent composition and color.
Excellent brightness and sharpness.
Well done. I love the photo.
Enjoy a good week.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Salut Costantino,
Bien prise cette vue de carnaval avec des costumes originaux et très colorés pour ce couple, l'homme avec sa haute taille ne doit pas passer inaperçu !

Hello Costantino
Lovely impressions of the carnival in Xanthi.
Every year the carnival divides the Netherlands into two parts. The Protestant North that does not want to know about it and the Catholic South that goes completely crazy with parades, prince Carnival and lots of alcohol.
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Geia sou Costantino Indeed, quite a riveting view on these participants for a lively parade due to the brightly coloured couple featuring 'the beauty and the giant'! A very sympathetic capture carried out with fine details. Se xereto

Hi Costantino,
what a lovely couple!
Nice double portrait: their costumes are so funny and most importantly they are matching.
The clothes bring in so much color to the scene
Very well seen and captured,
M

Hi Costantino,

You have captured well the smiling expression of the couple. The point of view is showing the details of their costume. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Hi Costantino
A nice grab with those characterful faces and costumes each one of which could easily stand alone. You've caught an interesting variety along with dynamite colours which suits the carnival mood. You tell stories with this shot....
Great capture, Congrats
Best wishes
