Fasnacht Kandern

Fasnacht Parade in Kandern, DE

This was the annual Fasnacht (Carnival) weekend in Kandern, so I got downtown to sketch one of the floats before the parade began.

A bit of a look into the pagan past with the "green man" appearing in a Christian holiday. Thanks for your window on life in your town--always wonderfully illustrated.

thanks guys- I wish I could've captured more of the wild costumes and colors than I did.

Oh, I miss Fasching so! Even though I live in Louisiana now - Mardi Gras central - nothing really compares with Fasching in German speaking lands (like the Salzkammergut of Austria). Rob Carey, you have captured so many wonderful memories in your beautiful drawings of southern Germany! Dankeschön!

RobCarey said...

Danke! Glad to "take you back."
