More Carnival Pictures
Here are a few more pictures of carnaval.
This was a cute float with all the childrens movie characters and props.
This shows how they lower the high parts of the floats to get under the electric lines. Notice the bent down part at the back. In the next photo it is standing straight up again. The pieces are hinged with metal bars connected to the top parts. When they get to the electric lines a couple of men walking behind the float grab the bars, lower the high part and walk along like that until they have cleared the lines. They then put everything back in place until the next set of lines.
