Buekorps




Last Sunday the sun was shining and it was hot outside.
Brought my camera with me and took some pictures in the city center.
"A BUEKORPS (literally Bow Corp or Archery Brigade) may, basically, be described as groups of boys who take to the streets of Bergen each spring and march to the beat of drums, flying their flags and sporting their uniforms. They are a traditional and very popular feature of the Constitution Day celebrations in the City of Bergen on 17th May each year. They all march through the months of March, April,May and June to the uninitiated observer they still have the military character of years gone by. Many in Bergen say that the buekorps marching is a sign of spring and it drums in our heart each years" It really is a sign of summer for me :-)You can read more about it at http://www.buekorps.no/
