Coming from the supermarket going home we were surprised by a parade. Something you see rarely or not at all in the Netherlands.
The Sikhs in the Netherlands were celebrating Vaisakhi, the birth of modern Sikhism which falls at the same time as the harvest festival in the Punjab.
very impressive and colorful
and that you don't expect
on your daily shopping round in Almere. (I didn't know that we have so many Sikhs living in Almere). One for Our World Tuesday here.
Nice... you got yourself some excellent photos. You are right about the colours. Very impressive.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWonderful images. I like the dress.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat an amazing parade!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEven kennis maken met een heel andere cultuur. Leuke foto's.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think the occasion was marked here as well. There are Sikhs to be found here, particularly out in British Columbia and the Greater Toronto Area.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautifully captured!
