Girls in costume resting at the side of the street during the Notting Hill Carnival children's parade, Sunday 26 August, 2007.

There's been a carnival in town lately.

We just had last week Carnivale.

Notting Hill Carnival was long known as a Caribbean festival, but today Londoners from many cultural backgrounds participate.

As I was lumbering down the street, down the street, down the street...

Here is a selection of photos from this year's Notting Hill Carnival posted on Flickr.

The performances and contests that make up the longest carnival in the world will continue well into March.

The street, the truth is the street is what counts

At the same time foreigners and Uruguayans dedicate blog posts to the event, share photos, videos and thoughts on the world s longest carnival.

With every that day passes, the mood on the square becomes more like a daily open carnival organised by the people and for the people.

This year, Solange González Henott wrote about Uruguay s carnival in El Blog de la Ruta , a travel blog from news site Otramérica.

Mubarak refuses to give in, but he's kneeling to the demands of the streets more and more so let's stay in the streets then.
