It was Mardis Gras on Tuesday. Can understand why some people find them frightening… Now to me, the large man wearing very little apart from an Angela Merkel mask was scary (but funny!)… :D
Quite possibly :D I think in this setting they were fine. Had I seen them on their own on the way home at some ungodly hour though, they would have frightened the bejeesus out of me! :D
Carnivale! or however you say it in German! A good play on the whole horse meat affair as well I take it? Even though I see one is technically a unicorn!
Rosenmontag? We went to Cologne when carnival was just starting the other year & it seemed such a strange concept to us. Guessing its lots of fun too when it really gets going.
Faschingdienstag is the big day here… I don’t know that they actually do anything for rosenmontag in these parts! Was great fun to witness though, next year I am dressing up! :D

Mrs Teepot says
That is by far the strangest, and yet most appropriate, photo I’ve seen this week!!!
bavaria says
Thank you! They made me laugh! :D
Bass says
Horses in parkas. Whatever next, a horse in my lasagne.
Cracking foto (again)
bavaria says
Thank you :) Much appreciated! Steer clear of that Lasagne! :D
fivegoblogging says
are these horses looking so scared because they have been tagged for beef burgers?
bavaria says
Yes. And Lasagne and chilli! :D Thank you! :)

Cat (Yellow Days) says
For a moment I thought the umbrella was attached to the horn and was rather impressed with German ingenuity.
bavaria says
Don’t put it past them! :D Thanks Cat! :)

A Patchwork Life says
really funny shot Emma – they look seriously spooked don’t they? Something very disconcerting about seeing a unicorn in a tweed coat.. x
bavaria says
Thank you! If I were a unicorn, I might wear tweed. Didn’t check for hunter wellies! :D x
HelpfulMum says
This scares me a little! What are they celebrating?

bavaria says
Only at this time of year! Thanks Jess! :D
Midlife Singlemum says
“Outraged by the meat scandal in the UK? You bet your lasagne we are!”
bavaria says
Haha… Although not just in the UK, seems to be Europe wide now… :/
Jaime Oliver says
i hope they were not waiting outside Tesco!! lol
bavaria says
Me too… :D
Bibsey Mama says
Oh my goodness. Is that one of Mother Venting’s escaped unicorns?! Great shot, although for me they are slightly unnerving.
bavaria says
Quite possibly :D I think in this setting they were fine. Had I seen them on their own on the way home at some ungodly hour though, they would have frightened the bejeesus out of me! :D
Coombemill - Fiona says
Fab shot – I can just imagine what a great event that must be. Is that snow I can see?

Thanks Fiona… Yes, still lots of blinking snow! :D
Lilinha Espindula says
Such a cool photo! I bet they are not too happy about their friends and family mixed with cow’s meat! lol :) x

Funky Wellies says
Great photo but scary eyes!!
bavaria says
Aren’t they? They did look funny amongst everyone else. I saw someone with a hippo head like this too! :D
Kelloggsville says
Oh no, that’s freaky and too scary. I couldn’t do these carnivals.
bavaria says
Not good if you have a costume phobia no… Great atmosphere though! :D
Jennifer Howze says
Freaky, but fun.
bavaria says
Quite! Thank you :)
Mummy's Little Monkey (Jax2000) says
I hope their heads are waterproof!!
bavaria says
I think they were… Probably good thinking on their part. Was funny watching the brown horse trying to drink a bottle of beer though! :D
Rollercoaster Mum says
That’s ever so slightly scary!!
bavaria says
Honestly, there were far scarier sites to be seen here! :D
Sarah Hill says
Awesome, but then I expect nothing less from you. xx

Brinabird and Son says
Carnivale! or however you say it in German! A good play on the whole horse meat affair as well I take it? Even though I see one is technically a unicorn!
