These masks look very threatening, and yet the revellers seem to be having a very jolly time. Interesting link, thank you Isabel.

It is an ancient tradition, I enjoyed to go there a few times years ago, but now it turned to be too much commercial...

Fascinating traditional masks and a great setting among the rocks and lichens for a marvellous result, Isabel.

You have a great collection! Presenting the masks(s) between the lichened stones is brilliant.

I tried home like in the last one but was not pleased, it looks cold and unpersonal. In nature at golden hour it was better.

Intriguing collection of masks, the iron one is presented beautifully. People seem to be facinated with masks the history surrounding them. Nice series and information.

I also have a collection of African little ones called "passports", they were used for people to identify them, where they came from. The Togo one is a passport.
