Mardi Gras Day 2008 New Orleans Part 2 - Zulu : The color of fun

Greetings viewers,

This year I decided to try and capture some of the essence of Zulu.

It was a fun time just being around all the excitement that is Zulu.

Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Hi, Phil.

Your pictures are so wonderful that I've had to go back and look at some of them again.

The Zulu album is most interesting. I never knew about that part of the celebration.

Thanks for inviting me !
