maypoles
I'm working on my talk for Redemption on folk traditions and I decided to start on ones that got banned by the Puritans. So I've started with rushbearing and moving onto maypoles.
I was going to draw on some wonderful Czech examples of traditions are still practices there that have fallen out of use in England and are now only in the history books, but alas, vjezkova's maypole photos no longer have working links to them!
Yes, Vera, this is a big hint that I need your wonderful maypole photos!
(and if anyone, anywhere has a decent photo of the Baverian bandertanz, I will be in your debt - I simply cannot find any on line. It's a waltz dance done with ribbons around a maypole)

I was actually looking for images of the Bandertanz waltz, but this was just as interesting!
Thanks.
