Horse and Carriage Parade, Bad Feilnbach, May 1, 2007

Just something to attract the tourists and entertain the locals -- a parade of horses, carriages, wagons and Bavarian costumes, on a sunny May Day.

Watching the man with the camera	The first marching band	Those must be really big skirts!	Trachten - traditional local costumes
Fasching King and Queen	Horse and buggy	Ear warmers	Mail coach
In the mail coach	Team of six horses -- almost got them all in!	A travelling peddler	Farmers
Another farmer	What's that it's leaking?	Cleaning out the stables	Starting young
Spectators	Local farmers	Local aristocracy	More peddlers
Local kids	Waving to the crowd	And the Fire Department	Young peat cutters
Awww, isn't it cute?	Another rider with a really big skirt	Hauling the church bell	Whip cracking
Sheep	A dairy farmer	Keeping a firm grip	The woodcutters
Ride with a view	Off to market
