Good Luck in the New Year

A traditional house in the Gosau Valley in Austria. In the foreground are a group of "Neujahrsblaeser" p traditional brass musicians who walk from house to house playing music to wish the households a happy new year. This is a time-honoured tradition, and the gentlemen are of course greeted with some local refreshments!!
How fabulous!

@laroque No! Just happened to be walking by and saw and heard them! When they start playing, the sounds fills the whole area as it's a valley.

@777margo No, they don't sing. Just lovely brass instruments playing lovely music

That's dedication for you! I guess because I am not used to snow I cannot understand why someone would willingly go walk about and play brass instruments at the same time in it! Very pretty setting none the less.

The only people I knew who did this were the Salvation Army! I bet this sound sounds wonderful in this Austrian Valley! Super shot!

Nice composition of the house with smoke coming out of the chimney, the snow, the trees, and nice to hear that an old tradition is still being carried on.
