A freezing cold night leaving the nearby pub was worthwhile to catch the firework display.
The Brazilica Festival is the largest celebration of Brazilian culture in the United Kingdom that has been held annually in Liverpool, England since July 2008. It is produced by the Liverpool Carnival Company, an organisation that has operated as a registered charity since 2007. The festival began during Liverpool's reign as European Capital of Culture in 2008 when a Rio-style Carnival Parade swept through the streets of the city. In its current format, the festival consists of a week-long celebration of Brazilian culture including music, art, food, film and dance events that take place at indoor venues across the city which build up to an outdoor city centre carnival street party that takes place in Williamson Square and samba carnival parade.
The Liverpool Samba School was set up by husband and wife creative team Roger and Maeve Morris in 1995. The school performed at the Rio Carnival in 2000 and wanted to bring a touch of the Carnival's magic to streets in their own city. In 2007, the creative team established the Liverpool Carnival Company with an aim of delivering a Carnival event the following year.

gürzenich, festival hall, cologne, germany, 1440 / 1955, architect: rudolf schwarz / karl band (reconstruction);
excursion cologne: böhm / schwarz / ungers
sculptor: theo heiermann
„Der um 1440 als Tanzhaus erbaute Gürzenich, so benannt nach dem Patriziergeschlecht, auf dessen Grundstück das Gebäude errichtet wurde, wurde zuerst im 17. Jahrhundert als Kauf- und Lagerhaus umgenutzt und im 19. Jahrhundert zum Konzertsaal umgebaut.
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg brannte das Gebäude, wie auch die benachbarte Kirche St. Alban, nach einem Luftangriff aus. Lediglich die Außenmauern aus dem 15. Jahrhundert blieben erhalten.
Den Wettbewerb zum Wiederaufbau des Festhauses gewannen 1949 Karl Band und Rudolf Schwarz. Bei dem Entwurf der beiden Architekten wurden die Mauern des gotischen Baus erhalten. Im Innern wurde im Erdgeschoss die Garderobe und das Weinrestaurant, darüber der neue Festsaal eingerichtet. Die Kirche St. Alban wurde nicht wieder aufgebaut.
Zwischen ihrer Ruine und dem alten Gürzenich wurde ein Neubau errichtet, der die Kirchenruine und den Gürzenich zu einer Einheit verbindet.
In diesem Bau befindet sich neben einem kleineren Saal die große Wandelhalle, welche im Norden und Westen durch die Außenmauern der zerstörten Kirche begrenzt wird. 1996 wurde der Gürzenich modernisiert, restauriert und unter anderem durch einen gläsernen Außenaufzug ergänzt.”
Sechseläuten - spring festival - Zurich
Winter is officially chased out of Zurich with the traditional spring festival - Sechseläuten.
26 Zurich guilds parade through the city center along Bahnhofstrasse and Limmatquai towards Bellevue, where the festival climaxes at exactly 18:00 when a snowman-like figure called Böögg is burned. When the Böögg’s head finally explodes the season of fog and cold feet is officially over. A fast explosion of his head promises a warm and sunny summer. (Indeed it was a fast explosion this time).
Had an opportunity to roam around on my first day in Zurich as it happened to be a bank holiday. After witnessing my first tram ride, got to paradeplatz and witnessed the parade marching along various strasse and finally the snowman bonfire at Bellevue. Thousands of people flourished along the bellevue end of the Zurich lake.

Taiwan's Tsou tribe celebrated the Mayasvi war festival to honor its gods and warriors on 2/15/2015.
Mayasvi: This is the highlight of the Tsous’ festive calendar. Held every year after the Homeyaya, the site of this festival is the square right outside the men’s gathering place, or Kuba. Today, the Tapangu and Tfuya communities are the center of all Mayasvi celebrations. Mayasvi roughly translates as “Victory Ceremony”.
阿里山鄒族達邦社戰祭
鄒族的「戰祭」(mayasvi) 是非常神聖且莊嚴的儀式，儀式中有非常多的禁忌，不過正典後的歌舞祭則歡迎來自四面八方的朋友一同娛樂。而現今 mayasvi「戰祭」儀式過程已大為簡化，僅保留下簡單的「迎神祭」、「團結祭」、「送神祭」、「路祭」、「家祭」、象徵性的「敵首祭」及「成年禮」，約在每年2~3月間於達邦、特富野兩大社各擁有一座的KUBA（男子集會所）輪流舉行。

A last from the kite festival and a slight change of plan. I've decided to replace my previous post ad make this my #36 entry for 112 Pictures 2012 - "Represent the title of a song in your image": 'Let's Go Fly a Kite'. I have other plans for the original post.
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Teej is one of the most widely celebrated festivals of Rajasthan. Swings, traditional songs and dancing are the unique features of Teej celebrations in Rajasthan. Women perform traditional folk dance dressed in green colored clothes and sing beautiful Teej songs while enjoying their sway on swings bedecked with flowers.
I made this photograph at a festival in Thimphu two weeks ago. The packed crowd of local people that had gathered to watch the dancing monks was as charming as the performance itself.
Unfortunately I came upon the festival after it had completed but I was able to capture several impressive submissions.
Its sad in its way the skill to which some of these were shot and in just a few days of weather and idiots they will be gone forever.
All were taken with the Oly 17mm f/1.8
