ALTWEIBERFASTNACHT

In Rheinland, Germany, the Carnival starts already on Thursday with Altweiberfastnacht. Especially in Cologne and in Dusseldorf where it is "womens day": Women has the right to cut men's tie half. These pictures are made in Dusseldorf. Most women go to the "Altstadt" where there are cafes, and there is the fun: To be for one day the person they would like to be.
