Venice's Carnival costumes.......

We saw many types of costumes in Venice.  Some extremely elaborate (perhaps paid for by the tourist office to keep the tourists happy!) .......

and some not so elaborate.........

However the costumes created an unmistakable air of 'Carnevale'!

And some were obviously tourists there, like us, but dressed to be part of the scene.......

And some were just having a happy time.......
