Performers pose for a photograph on the second day of the Notting Hill Carnival in west London on August 31, 2015. Nearly one million people are expected by the organizers Sunday and Monday in the streets of west Londons Notting Hill to celebrate Caribbean culture at a carnival considered the largest street demonstration in Europe. The Notting Hill Carnival started in the 1960s, when the area had a large population of immigrants recently arrived from the Caribbean and was notorious for its slums -- a far cry from today when it is one of Londons most expensive places to live.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and captivating photo print, performers strike a pose on the second day of the Notting Hill Carnival in west London. The image captures the essence of this iconic event, which is celebrated as one of Europe's largest street demonstrations. With an expected turnout of nearly one million people over two days, the streets of Notting Hill come alive with a kaleidoscope of colors and infectious energy. Originally starting in the 1960s when Caribbean immigrants settled in this area known for its slums, today's Notting Hill stands as a testament to transformation. Once notorious for its impoverished conditions, it has now become one of London's most sought-after neighborhoods with sky-high property prices. The photograph showcases dancers adorned in elaborate costumes and fancy dress, embodying the spirit and vibrancy that define Caribbean culture. Their exuberant expressions reflect both their dedication to their craft and their joyous celebration. Captured by Leon Neal from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this horizontal composition offers an offbeat perspective that draws viewers into the heart of the carnival atmosphere. It serves as a visual reminder that despite its humble beginnings, Notting Hill Carnival has evolved into an annual extravaganza where cultures intertwine, traditions are honored, and diversity is celebrated with unbridled enthusiasm.
