During my trip in Sibiu i was taking part at a parade of traditional German Clothes, a nice concert with them traditional songs and dances and of course lot of beer. The concert was a tribute to the 23rd August 1944 when Romania liberated from the Nazi occupation here is National Day.
This man was from that band but he only take pictures with girls not singing or dancing
The costume is a traditional one composed by :
Lederhosen:
The lederhosen mean leather trousers in German. These are knee breeches and were worn by the Germanic men of the Alpine areas and the surrounding locales as well. The lederhosen are made of leather. This traditional style of German clothing was also worn by young German boys till the age of 16. As compared to the traditional Bavarian garment, the lederhosen were less decorated in these cases. It always had features such as the suspenders and the front flaps. The lederhosen were worn in the mountains of South Germany and were preferred by riders or hunters.

Tracht:
Traditional German clothing cannot be complete without the mention of tracht. The style of the traditional tracht has even resulted in the creation of the Landhausmode. Landhausmode sees its influences from the costumes that were worn by the farmers and the peasants. For this outfit, there is major use of linen and loden material.

Gamsbart:
The Gamsbart is also a part of traditional German clothing. The Gamsbart is actually a tuft of hair that is used as a form of a decorative element. This is worn on the trachten hats. Here, the lower end of the hair is set into metal and the upper portion tufts out like a brush. As per the old traditions, these were placed only on hats. Even today, the Gamsbart is used as a part of clothing and is infused in female clothing as well.

Hi Oana,
Great photo for this weeks theme! Looks nice and sharp. A shame about the man entering the frame on the right, but since he is out of focus it doesn't real detract from the scene much. Good use of the mid-day light and shallow DOF, well taken.

TFS,
Scott.

Dear Oana,

Superb portrait with great PP skills!
Indeed, a nice picture for Friday's theme.
The colors are just amazing, and I like the proud and charm on the face of that old man! The sharpness couldn't be better, I feel. The shallow DOF is amazing here.
Well seen!

Wish you a great weekend!
