Ten photos from the carnival in Stockholm over the weekend. Called Quarnevalen in Swedish. 1500 students from The Royal Institute of Technology took part this year. They spend around a week building the 100 floats. 400 000 people flock the streets to look at the spectacle. I found my place at the corner of Valhallavägen/Odengatan and as it was a good spot I called it, and stayed there for the time it took for everyone to walk by. I should have bought a copy of the BRUXanvisningen. A leaflet that will tell the story about all the floats, but I kinda forgot about that. Every builder gets 60 copies to sell. But usually it is all about current affairs, politics, student life and more. I will show a few more photos tomorrow.
Wish I were there. I see a lot of happy people.
ReplyDeleteThe first real Summer day. I lost one of my bike gloves. Then, a day later while going through my photos from the carnival, I found it on a photo I had taken of two people hugging!
