At a pre-Lenten celebration called fašiangy, Slovaks dress up in national costume to dance, sing and feast before the fasting of Lent. Fašiangy which started in the Middle Ages is similar to Carnival in Venice which takes place around the same time.
Our neighbor decided to pose when I snapped his picture.

His pose shows pride. Probably he is not photographed every day. What a good idea to wear national costumes in a pre-lenten festival. I love old traditions and folk festivals.

Good shot, you chose the right moment, did the celebrations end up in the bar afterwards.... thats where all good celebrations should end I guess.
