Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.JURA 6375] 'Frightened fairy queen.' Tuesday is children's carnival during the Basler Fasnacht, the carnival of Basel. Then the children rule and the parents obey. But it is tiring to play and play and play. And frightening sometimes, with so many weird characters walking around. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.JURA 6359] 'Gesture of tenderness.' Tuesday is children's carnival during the Basler Fasnacht, the carnival of Basel. It's a day of colours, play and tenderness. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.JURA 6325] 'Nightfall during carnival in Basel.' Carnival continues day and night for 72 hours in Basel. One of the great moments each day is just after sunset along the Rhine (Rhein). It's the fairy tale hour. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.JURA 6312] 'Three Waggis.' During the Basler Fasnacht, the carnival in Basel, traditionally there is a difference between the people of Basel Stadt, the city, and Basel Land, the countryside around it. The people from the land, who traditionally were farmers and grew the food for the town, are symbolized by the Waggis during the carnival. Mostly you see large groups of them and they throw oranges, the symbol of food, into the crowds. Photo Paul Smit.
