I just love her costume like what an Egyptian Queen would have worn
By now, I have learnt from my Spanish blogger friends that these costumes are of central American origins. Mybe the festival parade should be labelled as "Latin Parade".
Brunswick St, Northcote
Pentax K20D
FA 80-200mm f2.8
...ornate.
ReplyDeleteAlmost like Thai?
DeleteFormidable!
ReplyDeleteWarrior princess?
DeleteThat headdress looks like it has indigenous influence too.
ReplyDeleteSo Indian American culture too?
DeleteIt is an incredible costume and a wonderful portrait of this lady. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments
DeleteWell, if you remind me of the American costumes, especially ceremonial.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
I see. Then I should not continue calling it a Spanish parade
DeleteThis is a great photo :-D
ReplyDeleteThat is nice of you Ananka.
DeleteHello :=)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful costume, and a pretty lady to show it off.
She seems regal in a way
DeleteI finally started following your blog (and thanks for coming to mine!) Another handsome portrait!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie. Good to know :) I am spoiled
DeleteLavish costume which looks like it might be Aztec in origin, but I can't really tell. In answer to your question False Spiraea's flowers and leaves contain the toxin hydrogen cyanide which can improve respiration and digestion in very small doses, but can be fatal in larger doses. It is not a medicinal plant.
ReplyDeleteThank you for enlightening me here. I was wondering what it does!
DeleteLovely black and white. Yes, great costume. Thanks for visiting me so I could visit back.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind visit and comment
DeleteWow! A worldwide costume parade!
ReplyDeleteIt is something to click and keep it as memory
DeleteMuy bonita también. Besos.
ReplyDeleteShe is not a pharaoh model. The costume is specific to another area.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight too!
DeleteThat is quite the costume.
ReplyDeleteMore like a cosplay thing then
DeleteMajestic!
ReplyDeleteYou agree with me :)
