For a nation that has seen so much devastation it is great to see the spirit of the people in such a vibrant display!

Thanks for posting these photos!

This is my favorite carnival for that very reason. Plus the theme of flowers and vegetation is original and inspiring.

Wonderful stuff and thanks for sharing

With all that Haitians have been through, it is nice to see the resilience of the human spirit shining through.

not to be a snuffist, but i tho't haiti was death poor. that's the image perpetuated. i know it must have built up areas and stuff, but why do they never show stuff like this on tv. same can be said of africa.

What mainstream media shows us is how successfully majority white countries have made Haitians suffer for daring to defeat the most powerful army of its time and take their freedom. It's supposed to be a lesson for the rest us. I prefer the lessons of resiliency and beauty that the carnival teaches us.
