Carnival Pictures 2010

Boston.com writes Carnival 2010: "Once more, it is Carnival Season in many countries around the world with a Roman Catholic heritage. Celebrations and parades are put on just prior to the observance of Lent. Over the past few weeks parades and celebrations have taken place throughout Europe, the Caribbean and South America. An estimated 730,000 foreign tourists, many fleeing snowy winter conditions in Europe and the United States, traveled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for this year's celebrations. Collected here are a handful of images from some of the elaborate celebrations of this Carnival season."

And the first photo is from Trinidad - nice!! I've seen pictures that my friends have taken from Carnival there - and wow. Makes New Orleans look like some 3rd rate preschool play!
