Why ever we never made it to the CSD-parade but this year and sure it was fun!
I really tried to put up only the best pics, still it´s a mini-galore.
But from the beginning:
An elderly man stood beside me and watched.
Finallly he asked what this is all about and upon my answer he said, "well then there is no need for me to stay and watch."
How sad, huh?
But... he stayed.
I mean... this is huge fun to watch, no?
At one point - now Ingo took this later at the "castle" (sound on is a good idea now):
Here you see the masses, crazy the cam could handle the sound volume, it was deafening:
... when the masses turned up he said to Ingo, "but... sooo many?!!".
I guess he was truly "shocked".
And "relieved" when Ingo told him that it´s not only people from Braunschweig participating.
Who knows what we will have to wonder about reaching that age huh?
This was at the beginning, everybody was still sober and full of energy:
This guy put up this sign when he saw me with the cam :-)
And yes, that´s a local Wolters beer. At lunch-time!
I wasn´t so sure about these guys.
Yes, you shouldn´t run from people with AIDS, but they kinda suggest it´s ok to risk it over protection...
This was near the end of the parade, and, my they have my respect but it seems to be a rather high price in these....
Sad you have to make a statement like this, I think.
But at least they had fun!
Impressive:
Volkswagen was on board as well:
It really was fun watching, sad so many were surprised by this!
One more pic from the start, HDRed by Ingo´s cam:
The weather was perfect, hot, but not too hot :-)
The guy in the dirndl had power till the end!
Crazy, despite all the police,all the masses of people and the fact that gay and Islam really do not go together anymore I never gave terror a thought. Good or bad I´m not sure about this...
Next year we won´t miss it!

Sounds like a fun parade, never been to one. I know there is a huge one in Sydney, not sure about Perth.
I had to laugh at the elderly man's comment, I'm sure he must have been having an heart attack!
Looks like fun Iris, must seem a bit strange to older folk 😃 I remember Aimee dressed up as Snow White for a party she looked so much better than this Snow White 😃😃
Sami I can´t believe Perth has none when even (compared to it) little Braunschweig has one?
If you have one: It´s fun! It´s nice to see their pride. I have one gay ex-colleague who says since 10 years he´s together with "Daniela" but I know it´s a man called "Daniel" :-(
Yes, the man was shocked!
Ah, Grace, that is Snow White!!!! I didn´t realise! Yes, I can imagine Aimee looked miles and miles better but he had so much fun and pride also :-)
