Switzerland: Basler Fasnacht (Carnival in Basel)
Leave your false nose at home and forget the Wein, Weib und Gesang from the German carnival tradition: the Basler Fasnacht has its own rules. In Basel no singalongs and dancing, but Europe's most amazing manner to chase the winter away. 72 hours long. From the 2nd till the 4th of March 2009.

'Clique at dusk.'
During large parts of the Basler Fasnacht (carnival of Basel) the streets are occupied by Cliques (groups or bands). This beautiful ensemble is photographed before sunrise after Morgestraich, the start of the carnival at 4 a.m. on Monday. Photo Paul Smit.
