Great Photos from Carnival 2010

So Carnival is over. For millions of Brazilians the Quarta-Feira de Cinzas (Ash Wednesday) comes with sadness as it marks the end of a great fantasy, immense joy, and intense communion with friends. Forgive me to say this, but I think that the media puts too much attention on the naked bodies. Carnival is much more than this. There is creativity and art everywhere. Families get together to dance and celebrate, kids have a blast. You just need to know how to choose what you do and where you go to celebrate Carnival.
 
Here is an article with amazing pictures from the Samba Schools in Rio. Each school that parades in the Sambódromo tells a story with its music and costumes. The picutures are full of colors and life!
