BlackPeter.jpg

This isn't a very good shot but it was the best I could get as I tried to shoot between people passing by. This guys outfit was absolutely killer. His facial features were perfect and the first thing I thought of when I saw him in the crowd was "Black Peter!". Black Pete or Zwarte Piet in Dutch is kind of like the anti Santa of the European culture. He was the one who handed out the coal to bad kids and came onto the scene in the mid 14th century and seems to have survived into the mid 19th century. Do a Google search on him... At any rate, I searched the faire grounds for him the rest of the day but never got a good shot of him.
