Le carnaval de Bâle est la plus grande fête populaire de Suisse, elle rassemble, selon les estimations, 15'000 à 20'000 personnes actives, c'est-à-dire costumées.
Le lundi après le mercredi des Cendres, à quatre heures du matin, c'est le coup d'envoi: le Morgestraich. Fifres et tambours en charivari - en costumes et masques individuels - avec une petite lumière sur la tête se mettent en branle pour sillonner, en jouant de la musique, le coeur de la ville enveloppée d'obscurité. Les cliques portent des lanternes pouvant atteindre plus de trois mètres de haut. Ces créations de bois et de toile sont éclairées de l'intérieur et illustrent de façon moqueuse un événement de l'année écoulée. Parmi les mélodies jouées, certaines datent de plusieurs décennies, d'autres sont nouvelles.
Dur de se lever aussi tôt, mais ca vaut le coup... c'est magique!
Huge crash at 3am. Dogs barking. The giant old flame tree next to out house fell. Looks like it was termites. We were unbelievably lucky: it missed falling on the kitchen, the generator, the wall and the "servant's cottage". Nobody was hurt -- we just had some interrupted sleep.

Ian was born in Magwa Hospital in Ahmadi in 1955 and lived in Kuwait until 1975. He’s scanned over 300 Kuwait-related photos from his family’s collection, which he’s kindly given me permission to share. This bath of photos I'm sharing were taken over various weekends and holidays in Kuwait, between the late 60s and early 70s.
The photos were taken by Ian, his father Arthur, and his younger brother Tom. All photos belong to Ian, if you copy them, please credit him.
