Braziilian Carnaval, Long Beach CA

[Tee Why]

This is an annual event in Long Beach CA.
Lots of sexy folks in Samba costumes with a parade open to the public.
C/C welcome. All are candid shots from a moving parade.

Sexy Costumes no doubt. Looks like a good time and something most people do not get to see unless traveling to South America.

I am guessing the men to women ratio in the crowd was not 50/50?!:rofl

Nice work, you got the color and the energy... not to mention the beauty.

Here is the gallery for the 2005 shots.
