Basque performer

Another capture from the Basque ”sheep” looking group of performers and a 14-second video clip of their highly unusual march, for both the sight and sound. These guys were simply fascinating! Picture is a bit tilted because I didn't want to cut the top of his headdress off.

Thanks to Jose, who linked me to this informative article: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/village-weird-scary-carnival-basque-country-photos-1434675

Reminds me of Sonny Bono and the furry vest he used to wear...My mom was cracking up at him, and I was mad at her for laughing at him. LOL.....Now I laugh when I see the pictures.
Great shot!

That's an odd and interesting costume. My friend is Basque, I'll have to ask him about it. Love the festivities here. V
