:clap excellent!

Thanks for sharing a bit of Greek culture I didn't know anything about.

"Those visiting Galaxidi on Shrove Monday should not miss the alevromoutzouroma (literally fouling with flour), a local custom marking the end of Carnival and the beginning of Lent, which is followed by merrymaking."

wow, great shots... couldn't tell if it was a disaster or a festival at first :huh

By the first few shots, I thought it was a disaster too! Sharp pics, well composed candids. Neat looking festival! Any more info on it?
