I’m a Fan of Traditional Costumes
Traditional costume from the Alsace.
Odenwälder and Bergsträßer traditional costume.

Another version of Odenwald costume from Neunkirchen, the highest village in the Hessian part of the Odenwald, part of the community of Modautal.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Male vs Female

Objects or People older than 50 years for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge.
The featured people are older than 50 but their clothes – traditional German costumes from the south-western part – often are too, truly so or re-created. Obviously, I have a penchant for hats. The men all wear the traditional form called tricorne or cocked hat which was worn by older, more well-to-do burghers.
