The Egetmann Shrovetide Pageant is one of the most striking carnival parades anywhere in the Alps and is performed on Shrove in odd years.
The images you see here are from the last Edition 2009. Today's Pageant starts at 12:30 pm, so if you are in the area ... you are invited to participate.

I love the top photograph. The expression on the mask is priceless and the real person's expression matches it.
Thank you for sharing these pictures!
