The krewe of endymion parade through the streets of New Orleans on the Saturday before Mardi Gras. This year the krewe turned 50. I took this photo back in 2012 while waiting for the parade to roll. In their infinite wisdom my local school district in Texas didn't schedule any holidays during the Mardi Gras season so no parades for us this year.
