The Flintstones, a photo from Grosseto, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

A man dressed as a woman and specifically from Wilma of The Flintstones.
The palio of the Argentario, also called Palio Marinaro of Argentario, held every August 15 in Porto Santo Stefano, the capital of Monte Argentario. It consists of a rowing regatta (4 rowers and 1 coxswain) pitting four boats, called "guzzi" (goiter Classic) (each boat has the name of a wind, Mistral, Grecale, Libeccio, Scirocco) representing the four districts of the town : Croce, Fortezza, Pilarella and Valle. The teams compete for the Palio, a distance of 4,000 meters, divided into 4 lanes, marked by buoys, making 5 turn off and 4 to turn the ground. (It turns out to be one of the longest rowing race in the world). Before the game each ward decorate a wagon (like Carnival), with a different theme each year, the competition and the party are heard all over the country participating more actively in the event

Ciao Valter,
While your photo is very well-taken and colorful, this man is actually a bit scary to look at! Ha ha!! :-) Next tine someone needs to help him with his make-up. :-) Thanks for the interesting sight.

Valter
Esplosiva e espressiva.
Un po "felliniana" , ma il contesto meritava lo scatto.
Ottimi colori "slabbrati..ma nel trucco.

A Valter,
mi si è rotto il monitor. :)
Più che Wilma dei Flinstones, sembra il Maestro Pavarotto del programma Veline quando fa le sue imitazioni.

Eccellente la qualità dello sharp.

TFS!

Ciao caro Valter,

Coo, this one's a bit spooky!

I always thought that Wilma Flintstone was quite an attractive lady though I really (secretly) fancied Betty Rubble! But this lady/guy is really scary with all his wrinkles and horrid makeup.

But your photograph is fabulous - a brilliant candid capture with vibrant colours and stunning sharpness.

Brilliant!

Kind Regards,

John.

Caro Valter

YIKES! o forse "yabba dabba dooo" é piú appropriato. Questa foto é proprio forte. Adoro la luce e "la signora Wilma" che hai catturato. I colori, il gioco tra luce ed ombra ed il suo sguardo sono fantastici! Troppo forte, 10 e lode!

Un abbraccio
Lisuzza
