For eyes pleasure

This site is dedicated to impassioned like me of the Venice Carnival

       Its goal is to share as well as possible, it does not have any other purpose. Its photographic contents are exclusively made by my wife or myself at the time of our travels. The exposed photographs are the intellectual work of the photographer and any use for a regular commercial practice is subjected to the authorization of the creator.

If you liked photographs, thank you to promote this site near your friends or to include it in the links of your site.

If you experience problems with slow site, you can try the mirror site http://masques31.free.fr where are stored only Venice 2016

3D pictures are stored on the site http://real3dw1.free.fr in anaglyph, but also available to download in .mpo format if you have a 3D TV

Sorry, but it's just starting 2017 costume that I realized that I had not published the 2016 pictures

Well, 2013 has not been a very good year for me, two weeks before departure knee locked, travel canceled with the despair of my wife .The costume was ok for  Remiremont 2013 , this event allows us to see a lot more  costumes than in Venice and this  in just two days.

For the 2014 carnival costume waited for 1 year, everything went well except that I personally find that the atmosphere is less good and it is increasingly difficult to cross dressed, the spirit of sharing seems to disappear carnival replaced by photo shoots sly each in his corner. If 2015 is the same spirit I think be present each 2 years and enjoy demonstrations made ??by the various associations in France which generally have a better spirit.

Pessimistic? No, the 2015 Victorian costume is finished in tone green and red and gold.

Pictures of Remiremont 2013 are on the site for 1 year without any notice on the home page, those of Venice in 2014 are also present for several days

January 2, 2013

Yes I plead guilty, my site was not really up to date, even if  you were numerous to see that 2012 pictures  were well presented for the 2D version since mid March 2012 nothing indicated that on the cover page,
The first 2013 resolution I would never do that again !


A reminder of the costume of Madame in 2012 in my company:

For 3D photos and those who are interested in, my position has changed, see dedicated site for explanations

For 2013 the costume is finished, but not yet cards, in addition to this costume I made the wedding dress of my eldest and I took a lot of time!

In 2013 if everything goes well ,we will be present in Venice carnival , dark blue velvet suit.


In the meantime I wish you all the best for 2013 and hope to see you soon.

it's my cat !!!

a small group in Salute :

 

February 10 2008: Pictures of the 2008 Venice Carnival are here. The masks were present good weather not really. If the beginning of the week was acceptable this was not the case for the weekend in the rain, not a real problem because Saturday and Sunday in Venice Carnival is impractical due to the huge amont of visitors. This year fewer people than previous years, may be this is due to the proximity of 2007 christmas holiday.

if you want some pictures (<10) in big size (5 MPx) with moderate compression I would be pleased to send them by mail, Just send me a mail to castel31@free.fr with the ident number of the wanted pictures.

Below my wife in brown/pink costume, well surrounded !
