notting hill carnival

The notting hill carnival is quite an experience for the senses. If you walked the entire route of the carnival it would take 5 hours. There's lots of music, lots of cooking (lots of chicken), lots of people (600,000 this year), lots of police (over 5,000 visible), and lots of horses (used by police for riot control).

cookies 'n' cakes

some may think cookies are too polite for carnival, but others think not

crowds coming down the street


food being sold, imagine closing all the doors and windows to your kitchen and cooking lots of fried foods- that's the carnival smell

ready to face the never-ending crowds


just a tiny portion of the overall crowd

fresh units being bused in

overall, everyone stayed alive and had a good time
