so long, my friend
thank you for a fun time
see you next year!
The carnival finally closed down for another year. Last night at sundown, I walked through the church grounds to take a few pictures. I took this one not knowing anything about the history of clowns. The view simply caught my attention. I thought it might be a thought-provoking juxtaposition of images. Little did I know that it would be a perfect illustration of an historical fact: Clowns have been long been around, since around 2400 BC. They held socio-economic and psychological significance and, traditionally, the roles of priest and clown were held by the same person.
What a coincidence!
