Carnaval 2014 Bergen op Zoom People II

About the ladies hats on the pic.`s left and right below:
As in the old days beautiful hats only could be afford by wealthy ladies, the poor people has to be creative and they were ,: they used funny designed lampshades as a hat . It was also a big wink/laugh at , to the filthy rich.
Thank you for an other great photographic week. Have love them all.
Wish all of you a nice weekend and week to come
