Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.JURA 6329] 'Fool at the Rhine.' Along the Rhine (Rhein) the Basler Fasnacht (carnival of Basel) lives through some its most beautiful moments when the sun sets behind the Münster church. I followed this fool for half an hour when he walked through the old streets, along the river and over the bridges. He didn't stop piping. As a real Basler he knew what Fasnacht was about: scaring the winter away! Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.JURA 6324] 'Lone harlequin.' During the Basler Fasnacht (carnival in Basel) a lone harlequin plays the piccolo at moonlight. Although being a harlequin, he doesn't have the standard harlequin face. He wears a Larve as everybody else, a rude kind of mask, but yet adopted to the harlequin character. Photo Paul Smit.
