London's Notting Hill Carnival 2013!
This annual late-August event in London’s Notting Hill (Yes! That Notting Hill!) is always colorful with outrageous costumes and fancy dress. And might even figure in the next in my Alice Myers series of murder/mystery thrillers (See Retribution, sidebar right!).
Here are some images:
