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 11th till the 13th of February 2008.
Tuesday is children's carnival during the Basler Fasnacht, the carnival of Basel. Then the children rule and the parents obey. These children are enjoying a wild ride while their father (!) is running across the square. Photo Paul Smit.
