That sounds just like the historical .

“From an anthropological point of view, Carnival is a reversal ritual, in which social roles are reversed and norms about desired behavior are suspended. During antiquity, winter was thought of as the reign of the winter spirits; these needed to be driven out in order for summer to return. Carnival can thus be regarded as a rite of passage from darkness to light”…

A few pics from this year's Leeds West Indian Carnival, an annual event I will relentlessly promote until I'm not able to anymore! It was a great day, all smiles on the streets, and the troupes, bands, and sound systems bringing it in fine style.

Find more @ facebook.com/airadamphotograph - I know, proprietary platform and all, but it's one that's easily accessible to most of the people I know want to see!

Looking forward to 2024 🎉

Happy Duraniversary to Duran Duran's EP, ‘Carnival’. Released in various versions worldwide this week in 1982 (and a special “Record Store Day” version was released this past April).

If you're anywhere near Leeds, I *highly* recommend visiting Leeds West Indian Carnival on Monday! It's been running since 1967 and is truly something to be experienced - and if you see me, come say hi! I'll probably be behind a camera 😂

Today's queer indie author review! Magic Burning by Kaje Harper:

"The Carnival stands out as special; wild magic with its own purpose... a wonderful, complicated, elegantly woven story, bringing in the Carnival of Mysteries in a perfect, unnerving way. 5 stars."

"Ahoy there, fellow sailors! Looks like I've taken an unexpected plunge into the deep end of the entertainment industry. But fear not, for even in this watery chaos, I'll still be serving up laughs that'll make you forget about the life jackets. So grab a flotation device and get ready to ride the waves of humor!" cruise ship overboard

Two of my interests combined in one image, bagpipes and carnival.
