In Eijsden, a small town near Maastricht (The Netherlands), the Halfvasten Lichtstoet runs through the streets each year. Halfvasten (mid-lent) is a short upswing of the Carnival, the last convulsion of the season, halfway through Shrove Tuesday and Easter. On March 3, 2008 it was the time. Rutger and I went to Eijsden to make some night shots.

We could have stayed at Camp Pirotte in Aachen (Germany) for hours. It's a perfect place for urban photography. Unfortunately, Koen had an appointment and so we left the former Belgian barracks. Just before departure, I took this picture. I could not resist. Of course I could not. Koen just had to wait.
