This one is particularly nice! I love the colors, angle and general feeling it gives me to look up that maypole. Such a wonderful symbol of spring! Hello from CA
Joan Elizabeth: There are a few maypoles around here. Germany has kept such folk traditions for longer than England.
Merce: Yo te doy la máquina de fotos y tu subes, vale?
Dindin MK: Like many things, the original significance is lost in the pagan past. These days it seems to be excuse for the villagers to get together and have a party at the beginning of May.
joo: Do you have them over there in Silesia? Have you been dancing around one lately?
Andreia Dias: Obrigado.
Martina: I am not too sure. The colours are certainly Bavarian, but is not blue and white the standard DIN norm for maypoles throughout the whole of Germany?
Mary: As Martina pointed out, the colours have extra significance in Germany. All Germans associate blue and white immediately with Bavaria.
Almost: "Ein richtig geschnürter (bemalter) Stamm hat in Bayern die Spirale von unten links nach oben rechts gedreht. Als Vorlage dienen dabei die bayerischen Rauten, die den weiß-blauen Himmel darstellen."
Good angle, makes it interesting
ReplyDeleteA maypole ... I thought they were something that lived in the past not the present. It looks incredibly tall.
ReplyDeleteY, como se verá desde ahi arriba?
ReplyDeleteFantastica mirada :)
Saludos
Nice angle!
ReplyDeleteanyway, what's a maypole for?
I didn't know they can be found in Germany:)
