Picturing: A Special Parade Down a German Street



I'm guessing I took this picture in Hügelsheim, which is just down the road from Iffezheim, the town my family was living in at the time. Perhaps this is Iffezheim. I can't remember, exactly.

One thing I am sure about is how much I love those Fanfarenzug (fanfare band) costumes. I loved living in Germany... actually West Germany at that time. East Germany, the GDR (German Democratic Republic), was something different.

My parents bought me a Kodak "Instamatic" 133 camera for my seventh birthday. They started me at a young age on my road to photography. This colourful parade would have been captured in the summer of 1969 or 1970.
