A scattering of faces of the performers and dancers at last weekend's Straw Bear Festival in Whittlesey. A wide variety of facial painting, facial hair and facial expressions:
Would you have anything calming to say to an anxious foreigner that has seen this kind of festivals only in British murder mysteries where someone is always killed in the dark forest in a neo-pagan ritual? ;)
This festival seems to be very funny and a feast for the eyes! (I looked at your previous posts, too - and I also like all the nature you show!) Greetings from Austria Traude
Great dancing and lots of fun. The face portraits are fantastic, John. I enjoy seeing all the characters who live out there, they sure do enjoy themselves and spread the good times around.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll try to answer any questions via a comment or e-mail within the next day or two (no hard questions, please!).
:) gotta love the Braveheart court jester!
