Description
_____ Here's a follow-up to the first photo I uploaded some time ago about the Liestal Carnival, an exceptional and unique event that celebrates the demise of winter through bonfires and fire carts that cross the little town center, dragged by courageous men and women that endure an excruciating heat to make this event a joyful and festive celebration, as the carts get bigger and bigger in size.
.....Thank you very much for your nice comments on my latest countryside photo. Have a nice, warm and artistic weekend, everyone !

Beautiful. But I can understand Gaius and some of his French colleagues that this can remind us of another fire celebration. As long as it's a celebration, fine. And, it is in Switzerland! And, this is a much more dramatic photo than your previous post. Keep up the good work! :-)
Tout d'abord, félicitations sur la qualité de cette superbe photographie qui n'est pas simple à prendre. On ressent beaucoup la chaleur en la voyant et j'aime beaucoup les silhouettes des personnes devant le feu. Je suis d'accord avec Gaius : les chapeaux donnent une impression de scène historique. Du très grand art... et je ne suis pas déçus d'avoir attendu avant de la voir ;-)
Ça doit chauffer un "max" en effet! Il est assez étonnant de voir que beaucoup de fêtes liées aux saisons, au carnaval, ou autres célébrations ont comme but de brûler quelque chose : une effigie, un agencement précis de branches, etc. Le feu purificateur?
