Little Belgium is not as bright as Orio's Italy but we also have carnival !
I went to the carnival of Forchies near Charleroi and followed a group of "Gilles".
The Gille wears a traditional costume stuffed with straw and a heavy hat made with ostrich feathers.They launch oranges for luck [Zenitar defished]
They are followed by a band ...
... and by the children and women (only men can be Gille)
Some cutties ...
... or not
[All pics except the first one made with Jupiter 9]
I had a hard time focusing because it was very cold and the russian grease of the Jupiter lived to its reputation It is now relubed et focuses smoothly. |

Thanks ! It was very cold AND there was a lot of Pequet (belgian flavor of the Jenever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenever) Some girls are wearing little barrels filled with Pequet and sell glasses of it. And, of course, there was beer Ever seen a belgian gathering without beer ? |

Finally I see some Carnival action from somewhere else!
Thanks for sharing, I loved them, loved the faces and the colours. I am happy to see that in Belgium too the people has not completely lost the pleasure of getting together in the streets and having fun. This is great.
I think that one of the diseases of our age is the increasing misintended sense of privacy for which people get off work and into homes and close the world outside. So social relations remains only those in the work environment. In some bad cases, in residential blocks, streets are empty and people walking are looked at badly. This is so sad. We have to defend the traditions like the Carnival that bind us to our ancient times, when people still knew what used to be living together. _________________ Orio, Administrator

May I ask you and Orio which role alcohol plays during your celebrations?
Here in Germany I have the impression that it plays a too big role by far.
Man people have forgotten that "carneval" is about celebrating together to chase the dark spirits of winter away and to enjoy the last days before the Lenten season. They rather think it is a contest who can get drunk the fastest! And this is what I loath about German "Karneval". _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

I remember being in Antwerp drinking Jenever into the small hours, a guy behind me stopped talking mid sentence and collapsed off his bar stool on the floor, I haven't touched it since then! I always thought those high bar stools were a bad idea!
The only "festival" we have here at these times are old Eglish types like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haxey_Hood I went many years ago and it is quite a site seeing 200 men pushing a leather stick around a village! Good English ale plays a large part in this "carnival" _________________ LENS LIST |

Unfortunately, alcohol plays an important role Many people are drunk at the end of the day in most public celebrations. Around here, we have many Napoleonian re-enactments where I've seen the most drunk people of my life (they could barely walk).
As a photographer and a responsible driver, I don't drink more then a few pints on these occasions... but I still manage to have fun |

Absolutely zero!
The Carnevale is, traditionally, a feast of the intelligence and wit.
See the Carnival of Venice, which is always accompanied by theatrical representations of the Biennale, and art exhibitions.
It is a real cultural event.
In the countryside, where I live, Carnevale is more the feast for the whole family, I would say the last remaining moment in the society of today where all people from 1 to 99 years of age meet in the streets and have fun together, like it used to happen in ancient Rome or in the Middle Ages.
We have lots of music, dance, laughter, lots of corianders, traditional food, soft drinks for the children, the only alcohol is, sometimes, a glass of good farmers wine.
Doesn't it show from my pictures? I didn't select, or leave out, anything. What you see there is all that happens.
Alcohol, and the consequent violence, is completely absent from the tradition and the spirit of the Carnevale. _________________ Orio, Administrator

After reading a few forums, I choose what was available in my DIY store, that is, bike chain lubricant. It comes as a spray and give a kind of jelly. I spray some on a tissue then use my fingertip to lightly coat the helicoid. |

As promised ... it is a product made in France called "Puck". Said to "be adapted to chains and mecanism having to sustain bad and changing weather" (in french, it says temperature variations too).

Mhhhhhh .... "Puck" by "Sico" Not sure they realised |
