My cousin François had a post about the Venice Carnival on his website lately. He had these pictures in his post and I thought they were so beautiful.

Aren't these costumes just so decadently gorgeous? I can't imagine how enjoyable it would be to wear something so elegant. You can read more about the Carnival in Venice here and here.
Basically, the carnival of Venice, or Carnevale di Venezia in Italian, started around 1268 and went through years of subversive behavior and today is mostly put on for the tourists.
I'd still go. It's Italy for crying out loud! One could always drink the wine and eat the food.

Great photos, Victoria. The one of the pine cones and snow would make a great Christmas card. I shoveled the walk 4 times yesterday and Buddy - our dog - just wants to go out and play in the snow. Oh, well.

As amazing as the Carnival photos are, it's your snow photos that impress me. Especially the pine cones. You have such a great eye!
ah ah ah tes pommes de pin ont plus de succès que les costumes de carnaval de Venise !! Incroyable non ?
Great Snowpictures! I also like the Carnevel ones. Austria also celebrates it, but not with such nice costumes. More on the funny side.
my daughter is fascinated with all the mardi gras masks & stuff up this time of year. those are gorgeous- thanks for sharing!
I love your photo of the pine cones in the snow. I just adore pine cones. Still no snow here....
Carnival does sound wonderful. I love Venice carnival or not...but the those costumes are beautiful! Hope you had fun in the yurt.
